Cup of Christmas isn't only for Christmas

Hello & happy November!

Have you known about the versatility that Stampin' UP!'s stamps have? I fall in love with this over and over as I see other creative demonstrators and crafty crafters put together some out of the box projects!

I put myself to the challenge of creating an out of the ordinary card using the Cup of Christmas stamp set (2019 Holiday Catalog). This stamp set is not only versatile but it's the very first Reversible stamp set that Stampin' UP! designed. It's SUPER cool!!!!

Below, I created a traditional 3"x3" card that usually comes to mind when you hear Cup of Christmas. I actually CASED it from pg. 4 of the Holiday catalog. Super cute and simple!

Now the challenge was to create a card that was completely different. I went with the idea of creating a Thank You card using colors from the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper: Sahara sand, Seaside Spray, and Terracotta tile. 

Now you have a totally different look using the exact same stamp set! Think of the many ways you can use this set and go for it!

Let me know if you've given this a try. I'd love to hear from you!

 Until next time...

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.
