The Stars are Shinning

The Stars are Shinning (156345) is one of those great little sets that make quick and easy cards since it has a punch (156380) that coordinates with it. And right now you can get both items in a bundle (156780), so you save too.

Check out these lovely cards using this bundle of products. This first card uses simple stamping and is monochromatic. It also uses the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (156329) that I shared with you yesterday.

And how about this card done in non traditional colors?

Heat embossing was used for the stars to make them shine and the White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon (156408) add a bit of sparkle. And this final card uses heat embossing again, this time in gold to make the stars shine.

I love the fact that our Stampin’ Emboss Powders (155555) give us 3 great options in every set. So what do you think? Can you see the possibilities? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which card you like best? Then stop by my Online Store and check out this and other holiday crafting items today!

With the Last Chance List starting tomorrow I wanted to remind you about the change Stampin’ Up! is making to items on Back Order. I’ll be posting this list along with my Catalog Walk Through for you later today.

BACK ORDER CHANGES COMING – DECEMBER 1ST

This is affecting businesses world-wide and Stampin’ Up! is no exception. Due to extreme difficulties caused by these issues, starting the 1st of December 2021, Stampin’ Up! will no longer take orders for products that are not in stock. In other words, Stampin’ Up! will no longer accept back orders. This change will help to reduce frustrations from unpredictable product availability and allow you to order products that will be delivered right away, rather than products that may not be delivered for months.

Whimsy & Wonder

Love non traditional colors for the holidays? If so you’ll want to be sure to check out the Whimsy & Wonder Suite of products (156276) on page 24-25 of our Mini Catalog. This suite highlight our lovely Blushing Bride and Polished Pink and a bit of foiling too.

Check out these lovely cards made with this Suite of products. This firsts one teams up the Blushing Bride with Mint Macaron for a soft look.

The beautiful Metallic Mesh Ribbon (153550) picks up the silver foiling on the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (156329). And this next card while using the same tree has a completely different feel since it uses the fun Polished Pink trim on the Mossy Meadow tree.

And this simple gate fold card uses simple stamping to create a lovely holiday card.

our Pastel Pearls (154571) has been used for ornaments and the lovely Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon (156341, now sold out) adds a bit more texture and interest. And if you love the Specialty Paper here is another great way to highlight it. Check out this simple “block of color” design.

While it uses the lovely paper from this suite – the sentiments and images are from the Merry Snowflake stamp set (156419). Fun, right? You’ll want to make sure to check out the Mini Catalog and get your favorites before they are gone. Our Last Chance List will post on December 1st and after that supplies are while they last.

Evergreen Elegance

There is nothing like the fresh cut smell of pine to bring back memories of holidays past. Tromping through the snow to find the perfect tree to cut in the field of Blue Spruce my father planted with cold toes and nose. Yes, I grew up in Wisconsin, so the cold was to be expected. As I grew up tree lots replaced that trip to the field on our property where I helped my father plant those saplings, but the memories of those days remain, so when I saw the trees in the Evergreen Elegance stamp set (153313) it brought me right back to my youth.

This set has some lovely sentiments and images for creating your holiday cards and the In Color Evergreen Elegance is perfect for this set. Check out these lovely cards. These first two team the set up with the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (155718).

Texture has been added to this first card with the Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave Ribbon (155722) and fun Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder (153576). And this next card adds the Evergreen Border Punch (153603) as a back drop and interest.

And finally this last card uses some dies and a sentiment from another set to create this lovely card showing just how versatile these images can be.

The 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper (155641) and Basic Border Dies (155558) for the back drop and the tree has been cut out with the lovely Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) that has this wonderful edge to it and he Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (155573) adds just the right touch.

So what do you think? Do these trees remind you of your childhood too? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think?

Angels of Peace

Have you seen this lovely stamp set using line art? The Angels of Peace stamp set (156365) also has some lovely sentiments too.

The line art is perfect to heat emboss – check out these 2 cards while they both use the heat embossing technique they look quite different. This first card uses a quick and easy water color technique to add color the image using our Water Painters (151298).

It also uses a simple fun fold to show off the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Papers (155718). This next card is done in Night of Navy and Basic White, Copper was used from the Metallics Embossing Powder (155555) and some dry embossing was done in the back ground using the Star Crossed Embossing Folder (156567).

Dies & More

Dies, Dies & More Dies. Oh my – And they are on Sale through the 18th! Whoo hoo! During Our Seasonal Sale you can get any of the Annual Catalog Dies on Sale for 20% off and there are some great die sets to choose from.

So today I thought I’d share some of my favorite versatile Die sets from the Annual Catalog. While these dies are great with the coordinating stamp set they are also great all by them selves with the set of your choice. I’ll start with a few of our free standing die sets, the first of which is the Tailored Made Tags (155563).

This die set is a great basic to use with all kind of projects – check out this fun card using the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (155464) and the Artistically Inked stamp set (154542)

Another of my favorites is the Tasteful Labels Dies (152886). This set of dies has some great basic shapes that can be used in tons of ways! Check out this next card using this set of dies.

This card uses the Nature’s Beauty stamp set (150528) stamped on the label and the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (155841) to highlight this wonderful sketched deer image.

And speaking of dies I reach for over and over again, how about the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690) that were used on this next card.

While this next card uses the beautiful pansy print from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807).

The big bold sentiment is perfect for this card and comes from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set (155034) found on page 38 of the Annual Catalog. And another wonderful die set that has great basic shapes is the Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) this was one of my first choices from the Annual Catalog this year since the layering scallop rectangles are sooo versatile and work so well with lots of other sets.

While the Color & Contour stamp set that coordinates with these dies is great it works wonderfully with all kinds of stamp sets. Check out these next 2 cards.

This first card uses the Sweet as a Peace stamp set (155050) and for a totally different look that uses the same die shape, check out this card using the Path to Greatness stamp set (155454) and the Stacked Stone Background stamp (152556).

And if you love labels with a flair – you’ll want to be sure to check out the Ornate Layers (152726) die set and Ornate Frames Dies (150664) that were used to create these next 2 cards.

Team them up with a great stamp set like the Forever Fern (152559) and Very Versailles (149275) and you’ll have a great look.

And of course we also have some wonderful that are great on their own since they are silhouettes. Like this wonderful nature scene? The Inspiring Canopy Dies (155963) create a wonderful silhouette look for any project.

Or the Many Layered Blossoms Dies (153582) that were used for this next card.

Whew, as you can see we have so many great dies to choose from you’ll want to be sure to check them out while the sale is going on, but you’ll want to hurry since the Seasonal Sale ends on Thursday, November 18th at 11:50 pm (MT).
