The Holidays are Coming!

We can’t stop time. Sometimes this is unfortunate; but other times, we can’t wait for something to happen and wish time went faster. Well, the Holiday Season is nearing very quickly and I, for one, can’t wait! Mainly because Stampin’ Up! has one of the most incredible Holiday Catalogs ever coming out on September 1. Here’s a look at the cover!

20150901TH_HolidayMini_en-US Why do I like the new Holiday Catalog so much? I was hoping you would ask!

First, it has more Bundles of products than ever before. 17 to be exact! That means more savings for everyone because when you buy a bundle, you save 15%!!

Second, they have the cutest, easiest and funnest (is that a real word?) KITS! I love KITS because they put just about everything you need into a box and all you have to do is put it together. Fun without the stress!!

Third, Nostalgia Time! The new holiday PAPERS are so darling and they bring back all those old memories of Christmases passed. You will want them all along with all the cute accessories that go with them.

Nature’s Perfection

OK, maybe I’m a little behind but I finally broke out the SAB Stamp Set “Nature’s Perfection” and the “Sheer Perfection” Vellum Stack. This paper is so much FUN! I love coloring the back and then using my Stylus to “brand” the paper/design where I want.Velum-3It creates a textured wonderland of design. Kind of like reverse painting. Anyway, it is lots of fun. Here are some more samples:

Love & Sympathy

A couple of old favorites, one of which is being retired. The sentiments from the Love & Sympathy stamp set are so perfect when someone has lost a loved one. This set is retiring. The tree is from Thoughts & Prayers and it too has some great sentiments. Lucky, this one will still be available in the new catalog.

I combined the two and then used a couple of stamps from Sheltering Tree (grass and flowers) stamp collection to add some color. A few pearls finish it off nicely.

Sympathy-5

 

 

I used an edge die to make the scallops at the bottom and then pierced it.

Sympathy-6 Sympathy-4I used Wild Wasabi and Pink Pirouette (I love pink and green together).
