My Christmas card production of samples is in full swing and it's so fun to be able to share my ideas with you. All of Stampin'Up!'s products are so pretty and also so coordinated! It's fun to see what you can do with the stamps and dies from any of our sets but "Holly Jolly Christmas" has to be one of my favorites! Are you a fan of Santa Claus? I have quite a few of them that I use for decorating in my home and I love the nostalgic feeling I have towards them. They are all different and make me happy when I see them. I knew right away that I would want the "Holly Jolly Christmas" bundle because of the Santa! There are some fun coordinating stamps and dies that accompany the big Santa too. Let me show you....
Here's the Santa image, colored with Stampin' Blends and then cut with the coordinating die. There are also some word dies including "Tis the Season" and "To Be Jolly". I added in a little bit of the "Night Before Christmas" Designer Series Paper which is perfect for this set and is part of the suite.
Here, I "built" a fireplace with some wood grain DSP and then hung my stockings with care ;) Did you notice the brick background? Another fabulous 3D embossing folder in the Annual Catalog called "Brick".
This card shows off some of the dies included with this bundle. The Santa with his sleigh and reindeer are just delightful. I cut them out with copper foil paper and added some more in the corner to highlight the words. The background paper is from the "Brightly Gleaming" Designer Series Paper and it is gorgeous with its own copper accents.
I had so much fun cutting out the Santa/sleigh/reindeer that I did it again, only this time with gold foil paper and made a little decor piece using a 6" embroidery hoop as my frame. The background paper is from the "Night Before Christmas" pack and actually comes that way. I didn't stamp those trees or stars!
This whole suite is so much fun and there are more products including a fun candy cane stripe ribbon, some "Memories and More" cards and coordinating Christmas cards with envelopes. If you love all the traditional Christmas themes, you'll love this set. Shop for it here:
