Hey there! It's time for a Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek with the Stampers Dozen Blog Hoppers! yay!

I used the " Be a Difference Maker" set from the back page, Nature's Beauty. Stampin' Up! will donate $3 from every set sold  from September 4 - January 2, 2020 to  support Mental Health Organizations!

I combined Nature's Beauty with the Woodland Embossing Folder and new Delicata Golden Glitz ink!

I stamped the deer directly on the inside of the folder with Soft Suede ink before inserting the Very vanilla card stock. More detailed directions are available in my downloadable handout you will find near the bottom of my post.

I used a sentiment from the new Gather Together set and cut a couple of Soft Suede branches with a new All-Around Wreath Die.

The inside sentiment is also from Gather Together.

I'm loving this new Delicata ink!

Hey there! Today is the final session of my Christmas in July Class, so I'm sharing the 6th card we are making with the new catalog set, Beautiful Friendship! I chose Merry Merlot and Rococo Rose for my colors, with Mint Macaron for accent.

The Rococo Rose layer is embossed with the Country Floral 3-D folder. The blooms and leaves are stamped on Shimmery White card stock, and we're stamping "MERRY" and "WISHES", from Merry Christmas to All, with Merry Merlot.

It's hard to see in the pictures, but we are adding extra shimmer to the blooms with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Adding a Petal Pink Rhinestone to the lower corner gives more interest and sparkle.

Bet you're not surprised this card is an easel-fold, my favorite!

Inside we are stamping a sentiment from Dashing Deer.

Hey there! This afternoon is the first session of Christmas in July! Today I'm sharing another one of the cards we will be making, a Corner Tuck Fold with Making Christmas Bright!

I used a traditional Christmas color scheme of Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla. I added snippets of burlap-looking designer paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty pack.

I added Red Rhinestones to the Mossy Meadow-stamped starry wreath, and added a tiny burnished metal bow from the Bird Ballad Trinkets.

I love those bulbs with the "merry" "and" "bright" stamped in Cherry Cobbler!

Have you decided which of my Christmas in July cards will be your card this year? Don't worry if you can't decide, the Holiday Catalog is coming in September, with TONS more ideas! I can't wait to share some of them with you!

Hey there! The adorable Ride With Me is reminiscent of the retired Loads of Love, but the dies make a free-standing truck!

My card today uses just the Ride With Me stamps, but I added special touches with the Making Christmas Bright set:

Please excuse the "cloudy" picture. My cold camera lens fogs up in the humid Southern Illinois heat. I clean the lens before and after each picture taken, but sometimes it fogs up again before I take the next one!

I added more festiveness with the tangled Christmas bulbs from the Making Christmas Bright set, stamped with Garden Green ink and colored with Real Red and Garden Green markers BEFORE embossing with the Scripty 3-D folder.

The Truck Ride Dies do not cut out the stamped truck, but it was pretty easy to cut with scissors.

Inside I used more Making Christmas Bright images.

Hey there! Yesterday I finished all of the paper cutting/supply prep for my Christmas in July class! yippee! You have no idea how excited I am to be able to use these next couple of days to prep for other events, blog posts, birthday cards I need to make, etc! This never happens and may never happen again! lol!

Today I'm sharing another card we'll make this weekend with Winter Woods, Birch Background, and Rooted In Nature!

We will stamp the Birch Background first with Smoky Slate, then use the image to add Fine Tip Glue and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for "snow"! We will also be using the same technique to add "snow" to the trees!

A little bit of sponging with Pretty Peacock ink:

We are using a combo of sentiments from Merry Christmas To All and Rooted in Nature:

I'm looking for a good turnout for this class! Excited to stamp with friends!

Hey there! I'm cutting paper like crazy over here getting ready for Christmas in July this coming weekend! eeek! It's going to be crazy, because I'm also babysitting some of the grandkiddos too! Should be a fun weekend! lol!

Today's card is one we will be making at my Christmas in July class with Dashing Deer and the Seasonal Wreath 3-D folder. I used Night of Navy and Seaside Spray for my color palette with a bit of Silver Foil and Rhinestones thrown in for sparkle!

I used a sponge dauber to lightly add color to the embossed wreath before adding the deer and rhinestones.

I adhered the Silver Foil "Happy" with a thin line of liquid glue.

I kept the inside simple.

Hey there! I made my first Christmas card for 2019 yesterday in preparation for Christmas in July! yay! I used a new Annual Catalog set called Rustic Retreat, pairing it with the carried-over Buffalo Check background. I chose Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla for a warm and cozy look!

I heat embossed the deer image with white powder on the Soft Suede focal image layer.

I tied a bit of 1/4" Copper Trim to a Bird Ballad Trinket to embellish, then pulled the fibers apart to give it bow-like look!

Sponging with Soft Suede ink makes everything just a little more warm & cozy!

This card is my favorite easel-fold.

Inside:

I used the Spotlighting technique to create the easel-stop.

I really love this card, and Rustic Retreat!

Hey there! I just had to jump on here RIGHT NOW to let you know that starting at 12:01 AM. Mountain Time tonight, Stampin' Up! will add a huge number of Retired Holiday Catalog Stamp sets to the Clearance Rack! They haven't told us what the prices will be but they have published a list to of the stamps!

I know, the pics are tiny, but it's the best I can do with such short notice! lol!

What YOU CAN DO, though, is go to my online store at 12:01 AM tonight (1:01 AM Central) and click on the Clearance Rack! These stamps are while supplies last and won't be available for very long! At a savings of possibly as much as 50%, most are sure to sell out quick!

Many of these stamp sets are some of my favorites from last year's Holiday Catalog. Here's just a few of my favorites you can buy at a great discount!

Farmhouse Christmas LOVE that pickup truck! Check out THIS POST for a card idea!

Alpine Adventure! I loved making cards and 3-D with the sled! Here's a post with a card I made.

Tags & Tidings! If you get there quick the die to cut out all 16 of these tags is on the Clearance Rack too! Here's a post featuring this set and Nothing Sweeter!

Nothing Sweeter. I loves making tags with this set too!

Hey there! Today is the last day to order from the 2018 Holiday Catalog, so I decided to do a little "review" of some of the retiring products by featuring some of my favorite projects I have posted. You may just find something you need to order today before they retire for good!

First, the sort-of Halloween set, Still Night. I love the owl and the branch! The bat punch used is also retiring. You can find the full post HERE.

Another fun Halloween bundle of stamps and dies is Cauldron Bubble that's also retiring after today.  Find the full post HERE.

One of my favorite sets from the Holiday Catalog, Spirited Snowmen, is retiring. I'm so sorry to see it go!

The first of several posts with this set can be found HERE.

I loved making cards and ornaments with these snowmen! See more HERE.

The Tags & Tidings Bundle is another favorite. You can cut 16 tags all at the same time with this stamp and die or simply stamp it to make fun cards! One of my posts with this set is found HERE.

Finally, the Peaceful Noel stamp set and Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper I used to create this card are both going away after today. Consult my post HERE, then go to my online store to shop the Year-End Closeouts!

Hey there! As soon as Troy & Grace became engaged I had a "first Christmas" ornament idea with the Spirited Snowmen set!

How-to:

Stamp snowcouple and sentiment with Memento ink on Whisper White, color with Stampin' Blends, cut with scissors.

Cut "snow" below couple with same Layering Oval Framelit cutting out Basic Black oval.

Stamp snowflakes with Versamark, heat emboss with white powder.

Adhere snowcouple to black oval with SNAIL

Press Versamark all over oval, heat emboss with clear powder. Repeat to add second layer of clear embossing.

Cut Stitched Label in half, adhere to edges of oval with SNAIL.

Sandwich ribbon between front and back ovals with liquid glue.

Write inscription with white gel pen. Add clear embossing.

When Logan & Faith became engaged I made an ornament for them too!

I used a vintage color palette: Mint Macaron, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, and Petal Pink.

So fun!
