This week I am excited to finally be participating in our Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team Heart of Christmas Blog Hop for 2023. This week is week 4.
For today's card I have cased one of the cards using the Night Divine bundle from the Stampin' Up! September to December Mini Catalogue. This bundle is part of the O Holy Night suite and will be available on September 6th. I am really in love with this gorgeous nativity scene, and the colour palette of the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper.
The detail on the dies is really intricate and gives an impression of texture and dimension.
The coordinating stamp set has a range of sentiments which look great embossed in white embossing powder directly onto the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper. You can also buy the die set or stamp set separately - all the details will be available when the catalogue goes live on September 6th. The gold adhesive star is also a new embellishment available in the mini catalogue. I'll definitely more need of these!
Here's a look at the great colour palette in the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper. I really love the addition of the new InColor Copper Clay. It looks so good with these colours, don't you think?
Now it's time to move onto the next Art with Heart Team blog to see what they have made for Heart of Christmas this week. We will be visiting Christine Blain next.
Happy Monday crafty friends. Today I have another 2023 Stampin' Up! Christmas card for you with a mix of existing products and a sneak peek of a DSP in the 2023 September to December Mini Catalogue.
Stampin Up 2023 Christmas Catalogue Products Shares
Let me tell you I am in love with so many of the Christmas Designer Series Papers in this years 2023 Stampin Up September to December Mini catalogue. There is a really nice mix of styles and the colours are gorgeous - some bright, some muted. A great way to get a bit of all of them is to participate in my 2023 Stampin Up Christmas Product Shares. There are individual shares for papers, specialty papers and ribbon, and the shares start at just $28. You can also save 10% if you want them all. Get all the details and register online HERE. Registration is open until September 5th.
The paper I have used on this card is called Winter Meadow, which has a beautiful color palette of Misty Mauve, Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path, Blueberry Bushel, Garden Green and Smoky Slate. It's one that I found quite easy to create with for a southern hemisphere Christmas, despite the name suggesting winter. It's more about Christmas foliage (it's the one shown on the right in the shares advertisement above. This piece in particular works really well with the Grove Dies which were a carryover in the 2023 Annual Catalogue (and coordinates with the Grassy Grove stamp set). You will be able to purchase the paper when the Christmas catalogue goes live on 6th September.
To get some texture on my die-cut, I have used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder after I die cut the grove piece.
My cardstock colour is Pebbled Path (my favourite in the 2023 InColors, although the more I use them the more I love them all!). I think gold looks great with this colour to add a bit of a festive touch, so I have added some gold sequins from the Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins, along with some gold metallic trim, from the Simply Elegant Trim pack. The sentiment is from Christmas Classics stamp set which is a new stamp set in the 2023 Stampin' Up! September to December Mini Catalogue (it will be available September 6th).
If you want to save this for a Christmas card idea, here's an image to pin.

Hello stampers. Today I have my very first Christmas card for 2023 for you. It uses the Stampin' Up! Trucking Along bundle, which was an online exclusive release last month but is currently still available in my online store.
I have stamped the truck in Real Red ink, the tree in Garden Green ink and the sentiment in Garden Green as well. My background paper is from the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper Pack which works perfectly with this scene.
I have added some festive touches to my card with touches of gold. The Real Red and Gold Dotted Ribbon is also an online exclusive product. I have tied some gold metallic thread (from the Simply Elegant Trim Pack in the Annual Catalogue). I have also used some of the Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins which are perfect for adding festive touches.
This little truck is so cute for Christmas, and there are so many other things you can put in the back as well. The coordinating punch makes it super easy to cut out the truck if you want to add some dimension. Here's a look at the stamp set and bundle in more detail. You can view them in my online store using the links at the end of the post. If you are keen on purchasing this bundle, don't delay, as online exclusive products are only available while stocks last.

One of the demonstrator perks is that we get to both see the catalogue and preorder early, and my first preorder (yes, there will likely be more, lol) arrived last Friday.

Today I am sharing one of the projects I recently shared in my subscriber tutorials (if you would like to receive tutorials on projects like this in your email inbox SUBSCRIBE HERE - they are free).
It's a festive money holder for those who like to give money for gifts at Christmas, and I have used the Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Suite from the 2022 July to December Mini Catalogue. This was inspired by my clever sister who makes these.
I love the traditional combination of red (both Real Red and Cherry Cobbler), Garden Green and Crumb Cake with a touch of gold. It's one of my favourite Christmas colour combinations. The Boughs of Holly DSP is so delicious and the suite is lovely.
I created a belly band band decorated it with die cuts from the bundle, as well as some gold and red embellishments. My sentiment is from Brightest Glow stamp set, and this sentiment fits perfectly in the stitched squares which are in the Stylish Shapes Dies.
