The holidays have lots of memories tied to them including the baking of Christmas Cookies with my Grandma. Mmmm the wonderful smells the holidays bring and that is what the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set (156314) remind me of, time in the kitchen and those magical times.
This stamp set is part of a wonderful Suite of products (156275) that is a lot of fun to create with. Check out these wonderful projects made with the suite. This first card uses the fun Acrylic Shapes (156322) as an accent to the details of the die (156320) cut image.
One great Suite of products, right? Don’t you love the way everyone can create something so different using the same products? I know that is one of my favorite things about Stampin’ Up! the coordination and all the options it gives me to create.

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?

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).

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)

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.
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.
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.
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.
