Wonder of the Season

 

The August–December 2020 Mini Catalog Inspiration

WONDER OF THE SEASON SUITE

When you think of Christmas what do you imagine? I don't have visions of sugarplums dancing in my head, but I do picture reindeer, sleighs with bells, and a cozy home decorated with mistletoe, lights, and garland.

You'll find those traditional colors and iconic images of Christmas in the Wonder of the Season Suite. This mega suite includes two stamp and die combos, two Designer Series Paper choices, a Memories & More Card Pack with coordinating decorative Card & Envelopes, plus embellishments and ribbon to put the perfect finishing touches on your holiday projects.

Even a perfectly traditional stamp set can take on a modern flair when combined with non-traditional colors and layout. I think you'll love the unexpected look of the trendy card I'm sharing in the tutorial below. Which style is your favorite traditional or non-traditional?

What makes this suite even better is that a lot of it is ON SALE!! Yay! The Papers, the Embellishments, the card pack and more are all part of the YEAR END CLOSEOUTS.

Even if you have already send out your cards, this is a great time to grab some Holiday sale items to use for scrapbooking your Holiday once it's past, or getting a head start on next year!!

As always, feel free to contact me at any time! I love to discuss all things stampy!
Sincerely,
Beth

Joyful Holly loose watercolor

 I need to make about 50 more Christmas cards!  Yikes!! I want something sort of easy but also that says me, so watercolor and stamps it is!   

The stamp set I choose is called Joyful Holly and it has some very pretty swirly holly branches.  

I embossed them in Silver and used Garden Green and Real Red ink to loosely paint them in. 


 

 

 

 

 

 


  The Joyful Holly stamp set is soon to retire, so grab it while you can.  I love the simplicity of it, and the ways that you can use just the outline or the filler stamps.  The Sentiments are great too. 

This is a no fuss set.  No dies, no punches, just pretty stamps. 

 

 

 

 

 

There are a few nice background paper choices for this one.  I looked for simple patterns in Garden Green.  I made the most with this Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper, but I see my photo shows one in Poinsettia Place.  

A lot of the Holiday Papers are on sale right now, so check out the Year End Close outs for good deals.


 

 



Here is a how to video for creating this card.

Lots of projects with the Poinsettia Petals stamp set

 

I spent a fun couple of afternoons using the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and dies.  It was so easy to create project after project with this collection.  And the coordination of stamps, dies and paper make each project a success.  The product coordination with Stampin' Up! is one of the reasons I think it's the best! Below I will show some of the projects, and links to how to videos if I made one.


 First up is this set of cards that pair Watercolor and Embossing techniques. I really love to watercolor! I made a couple varieties to show the different dies in this Huge Set!  








Here is the video for this project.


This next card uses Red Velvet Paper to make Poinsettias to add to this Gold Hoop Embellishment.  I really like this one, it's simple yet elegant.



I also used the dies and the Red Velvet Paper to make larger poinsettias.  I plan to use these larger flowers on my small skinny tree that is in my hallway.  I also want to put one or two on my daughter's headband, or  maybe a hair clip. They would look perfect with her Christmas dress, which I will make her wear even though we aren't going anywhere do to covid :) 








This trio started as a standard card, then I thought I should maybe have made a gift card holder, so I changed to pieces just slightly to turn it into a Gift card holder.  I made a video to show you how to make a couple slight alterations to turn a standard card into a Gift Card holder. 











This card uses the coordinating Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper.  The flowers were cut right from the paper. The only stamping is the greeting.







This is a pretty little gift bag. I don't have a video for this one just yet but I wanted to show the project to you. 











This last card is a copy from the Holiday Mini Catalog. 





This last video is all about the product collection and I sort of point out some highlights. I hope you will check it out.
