Gather Together Inspiration from the 2019 Holiday catalog

I continue to say that I feel so privileged to be able to be a demonstrator for Stampin' UP! and get to play with new products for upcoming catalogs. In this case, the 2019 Holiday Catalog. It's truly lovely and I'm feelin' inspired!

 As I'm planning and creating for my upcoming New Catalog Open House on August 30th (details here), I decided to create 3 samples for each stamp set:

  1. CASE (copy and share everything) a project from the Holiday Catalog, exactly the way it is.
  2. Create a card that goes with the theme of the stamp set.
  3. Create a card that takes a unique spin for the stamp set.
Below are my creations:



I have used the Gather Together stamp set from the 2019 Holiday catalog. You will soon get to see the catalog for yourself when it goes live on September 4th. Unfortunately, I cannot share any catalog images with you just yet.

Retirement Card using On To Adventure

A happy hello to you!
I'm coming back today to share one of my most desired stamp sets - On to Adventure. Stampin' UP! really does listen to its demonstrator feedback and I believe I was one of many whose feedback was answered about providing a stamp set that focused on retirement. I have many co-workers at my job that retire from here and I was ECSTATIC when I saw this set in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog!!!


Isn't that stamp set just A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.?!!

 I got to creating this weekend and wanted a simple and masculine card for a co-worker whose retiring at the end of August. As I was trying to figure out what layout to use, my eye was caught by the card from the Annual Catalog on page 28. This was exactly what I wanted so I CASED (copy and share everything) it.

The card below is my personal creation. What do you think? (please be kind)



 Some Tips for you:

  • I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to extend the phrase and make one line. You can also use the Stamparatus to do this.
  • This stamp set is perfect for The Stampin' Blends since the shading on it helps you know exactly where to shade and add depth to your image.
  • Not sure if the CASED card had a hole through the front of the card but I did. I cut out the holes on the front of the card using the largest and 2nd to largest stitched circles from the stitched shapes dies.

I do hope you enjoyed this card and hope that you too are inspired to give this adorable stamp set a try as well! Contact your local demonstrator to purchase any of the above listed products. If you don't have a demonstrator, I'm happy to help you or you may shop at my Online Store at any time!

 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 

Until next time...
