My first Stampin' Up! 2023 Christmas Card: Trucking Along Bundle

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.

Stampin' Up! Hello Irresistible Suite - New 2023 Online Exclusive Release

Today I wanted to take a deeper dive into some of the Online Exclusive products, particularly the Stampin' Up! Hello Irresistible suite of products. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is the early preorder of some products and this was one of the suites I had the ,chance to play with over the last month (well as much as possible with a broken wrist!).

The suite comprises the Irresistible Blooms bundle, the Hello Irresistible DSP and the Loose Frosted Dots. Coordinating colours for the DSP re Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock. The last two colours are returning InColors from several years ago. They are part of the Colour Refresh which was announced today and for which more information will become available on March 30th. If you don't have those colours for now, Soft Succulent is a good replacement.

Here's a look at the Hello Irresistible Suite - find it HERE in the online store (in the new Online Exclusives section).

Here's a closer look at the paper pack, which has 48 sheets of 6x6" double sided paper. I really like this paper!

Here's how my first card with this suite turned out. I made this one before I broke my wrist. I really like the font in the Irresistible blooms stamp set, and 'hello' cards are one of my favourite types to make as I use a lot of them with team members and customers. 

I didn't have the two colours that are coming back, but Soft Succulent worked beautifully with this sheet of the DSP. I used the circle die cut and Soft Sea Foam cardstock, and made a few snips with my paper snips to remove it from the outside frame so I had a stand alone die cut embellishment.

The flowers are actually die cut from another sheet of the DSP - so easy! and there are dies for 2 sizes of flowers, as well as dies to cut out the leaves shape and also some additional outline leaves dies which I used to cut my leaves from Soft Succulent. 

My sentiment is stamped in Soft Succulent and I have attached some of the Flirty Flamingo Loose Frosted Dots to finish the card.

Here's another card I made AFTER I broke my wrist and had to keep things a little more simple. Just a Flirty Flamingo base card, two strips of DSP cut and interchanged, a die cut label, sentiment and embellishments.

My sentiment is stamped in Polished Pink ink, and I have used a stitched Rectangle die  and some more of the Flirty Flamingo Loose Frosted Dots.

I hope you like today's cards using the Stampin' Up! Hello Irresistible Suite. You can find this suite in the Online Exclusives section (use the button below) together with a range of other brand new products!

Don't forget to use the March Host Code if you are shopping online and your order is less than $250.

New 2023 Stampin' Up! Products Released Today - Introducing Online Exclusives

Hello friends, welcome to March! 

I have some exciting news to share. Brand new Stampin' Up! products have been released today as part of our new Online Exclusives product release which are scheduled for release in March, July and November this year. You won't find these products in catalogues - they will only be in the Online Exclusives section in the Online Store. 

You will find some gorgeous new products. Here are just a couple of them. Head on over to the Online Exclusives page in my store to see all twenty products.

We also have a brand new kit which is really gorgeous. I love the on trend colours, the funky geometric design and the laser cut overlays on this kit. It's an all exclusive kit and the stamp set is suitable for several different occasions.

A new month also means a new Host Code. Use this code on any orders under $250 for a free gift from me (sent mid-month after the month you order). If your order is over $250, don't use the code as you can claim your own Stampin' Rewards.  Click HERE to see how to enter the Host Code.

Have a great day,

Claire
