It finally feels a little bit like fall here in North Georgia with some cooler temperatures, while it is still in the 80s there’s a hint of cooler weather coming our way. And after spending the evening last night with my daughter and her band, watching them and the other county’s High School bands perform their half time shows it feels more like fall to me too.
Check out this fun fall card that we make using the Come to Gather Suite of products found in the Holiday Catalog.
This suite is filled with those colors that make us think of fall and I’m loving the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo Pack with it’s rich satin edge ribbon and linen thread – perfect for a range of products.
Today’s card uses the Brick & Motar 3d Embossing Folder to create some texture and interest in the background. Our embossing folders are perfect for this and make it quick and easy too.
Want to see how this card comes together? Check out my video tutorial and of course a printable PDF too.

Holiday Catalog Organizational Items
As you know before I really get crafting I find a few organizational items helpful. I’ve been doing these now for years and everyone seems to find them helpful, so I hope you will find them useful too. (You can click on the Organization link in the side bar to find past Organizational items)
This first item is a index for the new catalog. So you can flip and find the items easily. Let me know how you like it by leaving a comment below. And of course if you find a mistake, please let me know I’m happy to correct the file for everyone.
And of course a quick and easy color reference for all of the Designer
Series Paper that are new! Great to keep with your papers so you can
easily find what you need.
And so that you can get those Dies on the shelf with your other cases, here is my Case Inserts for the new Dies. If you haven’t used these before you’ll find the ones for the 2019 Annual Catalog HERE. (And if you need others you can find them under Organization. I’ve been doing these organizational items for years now! and the packaging matches our other labeling)
10/6/2019 Links have been updated so they should be working. As always thank you for letting me know when something isn’t working correctly.
Have a larger set of Dies? Simply add a second magnetic sheet to the inside and you’ll have lots of room for those larger sets of dies.
Love my organizational idea? What now? Simply print the PDF onto Whisper White Card stock (100730) and trim on lines. Then insert into one of our Standard Stamp Cases (119105). And add a magnetic sheet (I use vent covers I find at the hardware store) to the inside using our Tear & Tape (138995). Yes it’s that easy.
Enjoy! And then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll have a special tutorial for my Shoe Box Swap card from my Team Getaway from last month.

Here what people are saying about our Design Tool & Swatch Books who have ordered them in the past:
I received my swatch books and I am
thrilled with them!
Love, love, love looking through all
of those papers. Has also been very helpful seeing exactly what every paper
looks like in person. I was able to eliminate half of the papers immediately
and know which ones I absolutely have to have.
Thank you so much for the speedy
shipping. You must have worked around the clock as soon as you received the DSP
order. I cannot even imagine what a production line you must have going if you
have a lot of orders for these swatches!
Cheri
Received my swatch
books, and I love them! Love the design with adding the cardstock. Great idea!
And I like how you can swivel them.
Nancy C
I love how you put the coordinating cardstock samples with matching DSP. SO Excited!!
Kim A
I really enjoyed the one I ordered for the Occasions catalog.
Robin
Love the idea of seeing the cardstock colors with the dsp in one place.
Debra
I love the DSP swatch books and
flipped thru them all. Great to see them “in person” instead of just
catalog photos.
Thanks for your hard work putting
them all together.

Yesterday was my monthly Team Meeting and while I always enjoy these gatherings yesterday was extra special because I was able to surprise with my box that arrived just in the nick of time – So everyone was able to get their first look at the 2019 Holiday Catalog products too. Who doesn’t love that?
Here is a picture of my table spread out with PreOrder goodies for everyone to see.
And I did a very quick unboxing video the night before of my Holiday Catalog Preorder goodies for you too. I had hoped to share it yesterday evening, but the day went by too fast.
2019 Holiday Catalog Preorder Goodies Video
So what do you think? Does the Holiday Catalog look like it will be a lot of fun? I’m really looking forward to this weekend and my Team Retreat where I’ll get some uninterrupted play time!
Mean while would you like to see some of the wonderful swaps my team made? I can’t pick a favorite – can you?
This first swap is a 3d and you know how I love those! This great little Good Morning Magnolia Bag was filled with a couple of pieces of chocolate, Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper covered note pad and pen.
No, the chocolate didn’t survive long, but I’ll be enjoying the note book and pen for a while yet. LOL
And this final card was created with one of our past Product Medley Bundles, Everything is Rosy.
I’m soooo glad that Stampin’ Up! will be offering another one of these Medleys in our Holiday Catalog. So watch for that coming soon.
