Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly 2022 Christmas money holder & FREE PDF tutorial

November 21, 2022

Hello friends.

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.

Stampin' Up! 2022 Christmas Cards: Spruced Up

November 04, 2022

Hello again, time for some catch up posts now that my blog is behaving as it should.

I'm busy making more Christmas cards, and have decided to participate in Martin Stone's (Martin is a UK Demonstrator) 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge in November. The challenge for the 1st had 'Red' as the theme, and since I was a day behind I used one of the cards I created for last month's Spruced Up Class (the PDF for this 5 card class with steps and measurements in imperial and metric is available for instant download for $15AUD or less than $10USD here on my PDF class page).

I will be posting every challenge day HERE on my business Facebook page, and a few here during the week. Make sure you visit and click 'Follow' on my Facebook page to see all 30 days of the Christmas cards.

So onto today's card. The shade of red I chose was Sweet Sorbet, one of the 2022 new InColours. I am really enjoying this red right now. My slimline card is 9cm x 21cm once folded to perfectly fit inside our Slimline Envelopes (see below).

It was actually a very simple card to put together. Using our Adhesive Sheets (see below) before die-cutting the present outlines really helps the process.

I added some subtle embellishments with a silver metallic thread (from Simply Elegant Trim - see below), and the white adhesive sequins from Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins (see below). There is also gold, Garden Green and Sweet Sorbet in the pack so it's a great festive embellishment.

Stampin' Up! Framed and Festive / Framed Florets 2022 Christmas Card

October 25, 2022

Hello friends, I hope this finds you well.

Today I wanted to show you a new Christmas card, using NEW Fitting Florets Collection products which are available to customers in just 6 days. I have used the Framed and Festive stamp set for this card, along with the Framed Florets dies and Fitting Florets Designer paper. These are all available from my Stampin' Up! online store in Australia (or directly from me via email or phone) from November 1st.

Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Gold come together really well in this card. I really love the berry pattern in this sheet of the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. You could even colour them if you wanted, but I liked the elegance of keeping them white.

The berries in the paper work well with the wooden Textural Elements. Again I have left these uncoloured, but you can easily colour them with Stampin' Write Markers, or Stampin' Blends. My centre oval is cut from Shimmery White (all the oval shapes are cute from the gorgeous new Framed Florets dies.

Set of 4 Stampin' Up! Santa Express / Santa's Delivery Slimline Cards

October 11, 2022

Hello friends,

Today I have a set of 4 Santa Express Suite slimline cards to show you.

These cards were super simple to make, as I just used one sheets of the 12x12" Santa Express DSP for the imagery. Here's a look at the DSP pack. There are 12 double sided sheets of 12x12: DSP.

This is the sheet I used for the imagery. It was super easy to cut four strips for the main section of the cards. I used the reverse of the sheet in the bottom right for the other DSP.

My base card is Petal Pink, and I have added a mat of Poppy Parade to the paper strips. For the base of the Shaded Spruce DSP, I left two of them straight, used the scallop die from the Scalloped Contours Dies for one, and the other one was hand-torn.

For the sentiments, I used Santa's Delivery stamp set from this suite, and they were stamped in Evening Evergreen. I stamped them onto either the Scalloped Contours or Stitched Rectangle die cuts. For embellishing I used the Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and the silver metallic thread from the Simply Elegant Trims. I also decorated some of our Slimline Envelopes with stamping from the Santa's Delivery stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Poppy Parade.

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Suite and Leaves of Holly Bundle

September 12, 2022

Hello friends. 'Tis the season to be getting started on your handmade Christmas cards. I really value sending handmade cards to my friends and family. I love the tradition of giving and receiving cards, and having them displayed among my Christmas decorations. It brings warmth to my heart. That is worth devoting time to.

I really love traditional Christmas colours for creating. The Boughs of Holly DSP ticks all the boxes for me, as it coordinates with 3 of our red colours, and 3 of our green colours. I also added in an additional green in this card. Here's a look at the delightful Boughs of Holly DSP. The imagery is so gorgeous and I love the Poinsettias especially.

Here's a look at the card I made using this DSP and the Leaves of Holly bundle from the suite.

I have used Evening Evergreen and Old Olive as the greens, and coloured the berries on the Textural Elements embellishments with Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends. I love the dimension you get with these pressed wood embellishments.

I have used gold metallic trim (from the Simply Elegant Trim Pack) on this card, but the suite also includes Natural Woven Ribbon which can be coloured with Stampin' Blends. Linen thread would also be a fabulous embellishment to use with this DSP.

Here's a look at the Leaves of Holly bundle and the the whole Boughs of Holly suite. Look out for many more creations from me using this suite for Christmas.

You can view the Boughs of Holly Suite, and the individual items (which can be purchased individually also) HERE in my online Stampin' Up! store.

Here's some additional samples using the Boughs of Holly Suite, which were created by the Stampin' Up! Concept Art team. These are the ones you will also find on page 24 of the Stampin' Up! July to December Mini Catalogue.
