A Few of My Favorite Things

I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite things from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. This year's holiday catalog is fabulous! I just love so many of the products in it. I will be sharing my favorite things in two different blog posts as there are so many that I love. Here they are (in no particular order):

 WISHING YOU WELL

This was the first stamp set that I bought from the Holiday Catalog. It just love the delicate images and the lovely sentiments. I love that you can use this set for multiple occasions. I have made a few samples using this set. 

BEAUTIFUL BAUBLES

This is such a detailed, beautiful stamp set with coordinating dies. I just love this bundle. I love the look of the old fashioned ornaments. It is very nostalgic. It takes me back to when I was young and seeing all my Grandma's unique ornaments and tinsel on her tree. Here are a few samples I have created using this bundle:

NEW BLENDS COLORS!

I am so excited for new Blends colors! There are several sets in the holiday catalog. There is:

Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Real Red, Cajun Craze, Mango Melody and Shaded Spruce. 

That's six new colors! Hooray! I just love my Blends and I love having more options of colors.

Beautiful Baubles

Hello stampers! I am so excited to share some new products with you today! The new stamp set and dies I am showcasing are in the upcoming Holiday Catalog. These are some of my favorite products. 

I also used the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches 351. It is such a simple, yet lovely sketch. I knew immediately what set I was going to use for it. Here is my card:

And here is the sketch:

Freshly Made Sketches

I used the lovely stamp set, "Beautiful Baubles" and the coordinating dies, "Detailed Baubles". Isn't this just lovely? I love that there is one die, yes one folks, to cut out all six ornaments. There is another large ornament that is included in this set and some lovely sentiments in a beautiful font. 

As you can see in the photo above, I heat embossed my image with Silver embossing powder. I think it adds a touch of elegance to the card. I used my watercolor pen and ink pads to color in the ornaments. Super easy and quick. I also love the use of non-traditional Christmas colors on this card. 

Here are the colors I used:

Balmy Blue

Granny Apple Green

Night of Navy

I had three more ornaments that were left after I used three on the front of the card. I couldn't just throw them away or not use them, I figured, why not jazz up the inside of my card? I used glue dots to adhere them and took a ruler and my Smoky Slate marker and drew the lines for the hangers. As you can see, I missed the mark on that blue, round one. Oops!

I hope you liked my interpretation of the sketch and are excited to get your hands on this lovely bundle. If you need a demonstrator, I would love to be yours! Just sent me an email to mindyclove75@gmail.com and I can get a new Holiday Catalog out to you right away.
