Hooray! Today is the Holiday Catalog launch so you can place your orders for Fall and Holiday crafting products. I was up early placing my order. It’s an exciting time whenever a new catalog is released. However, I think the Holiday Catalog launch is the most fun since it signals the change of seasons with fun holiday celebrations soon arriving. Have you placed your order yet?
On Monday, a card project featuring one of my favorite stamp sets from the Holiday Catalog, #Elfie, was highlighted. In addition, the card used the stamp set from the Most Wonder Time Product Medley. The product medley has lots of products for you to use when creating holiday cards and crafts.
In the video below, Tanner highlights all the components in the product medley, as well as, project ideas.
Isn’t the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley fantastic?! And what about all of the project ideas – I’ve definitely added the ideas to my CASE list.
Be sure to add the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley to your shopping list. The product medley will provide you with lots of products for your holiday creations. You can find more details regarding the product medley on page 39 in the Holiday Catalog.
When ready, you can place your order here. In the month of September, for every $50 order (before shipping & taxes), you’ll receive a Thank You gift of the Shimmery Crystal Effects from me. Thank you for your support and I appreciate your business.

Woohoo! On Wednesday, September 4th, you can order from the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog! So, today I’m sharing a card made with products from my demonstrator preorder. I had lots of fun creating with #Eflie (item #150509). Last weekend, I participated in a Holiday Shoe Box Swap and selected #Elfie to use for my swap. The elves in the set are full of whimsy. If you like to color, you’ll enjoy using your favorite coloring method for the images. Believe me when I say, you’ll have fun creating with #Elfie! For my swap, watercolor pencils and a blender pen were the coloring tools. The images coordinate perfectly with other new products in the Holiday Catalog. Additional products include the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint, the Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin’ Glitter. Plus, see the presents around the frame? They can be found in the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley (this is a fantastic product offering!).
Card details:
Create a card base using an 11″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Pool Party cardstock. Score and fold at 5-1/2″ to create a top fold card. Next, cut a piece of the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to cover the card front (5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″). TIP: if the DSP you select has a directional pattern, double check it’s position before cutting. Attach the DSP to the card front.
Use the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a Pool Party cardstock frame.
Stamp the elf using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a 4-5/8″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Color with the following watercolor pencils: Garden Green , Cherry Cobbler Red, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso (hair) and Flirty Flamingo (for the face). Use the blender pens to smooth the watercolor pencil colors. TIP: For the face, I touched the end of the blender pen to the Flirty Flamingo to pick up a small amount of color instead of directly coloring the face with the watercolor pencil. This ensured that just a small amount of color was added.
With the tip of a blender pen, pick up Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink to color the ball on the striped pole and the bell on the elf hat.
To create a “fur look” on the brim of the elf hat, add a small amount of the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint and watch it “puff” when drying with the heat tool.
Lightly sponge Pool Party Ink around the elf and to stamp the snowflakes from the #Elfie stamp set.
Add a snowy glimmer to the sign by adding Shimmery Crystal Effects and sprinkling with a small amount of Ice Stampin’ Glitter.
Attach the frame to the elf panel using Foam Adhesive Strips. Then, attach to the card front using adhesive.
Final Touches:
Stamp two sets of the presents from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley using Real Red and Crushed Curry Classic Stampin’ Pads onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the coordinating dies.
The sentiment is stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using the Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut using the Classic Label Punch.
Arrange the presents and sentiment around the frame attaching with mini glue dots and mini stampin’ dimensionals.
The Holiday Shoe Box Swap was a fun event! It allowed demonstrators to share project ideas using products from the 2019 Holiday Catalog. So, I’ll be sharing the projects with you soon.
Be sure to complete your shopping list from the Holiday Catalog and include the products shown in today’s post. When ready, you can place your order here starting on September 4th.

Today I’m featuring a Thinking of You with a Wild Rose card in a neutral color scheme. The neutral color palette uses Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. One of my favorite stamp bundles in the Annual Catalog is the To A Wild Rose Bundle so naturally, it was easy to select it to use for the card. The bundle includes the To A Wild Rose Stamp Set and the coordinating Wild Rose Dies. A lacy Bird Ballad Laser Cut Card creates the beautiful base. Be sure to check out the Bird Ballad Laser Cut Cards. They include coordinating envelopes and a beautiful storage tin.
Isn’t this Thinking of You with a Wild Rose a gorgeous card?
Additional Card Details:
For the panel behind the lacy card front, cut a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. Adhere by using multipurpose liquid glue along edges of the lacy panel.
Stamp the flower from To A Wild Rose onto a 2-3/4″ square of Very Vanilla cardstock using Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Classic Ink Pads. Cut using the coordinating die.
For the leaves, stamp using Crumb Cake onto scraps of Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut using coordinating die. Note: 2 sets of leaves are used
Select the Thinking of You sentiment from the Rooted in Nature Stamp set. Stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock and cut with the stitched label die in the Wild Rose Dies.
Attach the sentiment to the card base using Snail Adhesive. Add the leaves to the wild rose using mini glue dots. Then, add the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Complete the card front by embellishing the center of the wild rose with Gold Metallic Pearls and adding a double bow tied using Linen Thread.
