And just like that, it's Friday! Some weeks really sail by don't they? I've been making Christmas projects since August so it actually seems like it is taking a long time for December to finally get here, but then it will go fast as always. I thought I was done with my purchases from the 2018 Holiday catalog, but then I saw a few more things that seemed irresistible. at least that's what I told myself. I didn't realize until very recently that the framelits with the "Nothing Sweeter" bundle actually had stitching on them... whoa... really??!! Then I decided they would be really fun to have for all sorts of ideas. The tree image can be for any thing with a tree and we have tons of trees in Montana so I can always use that. The present image can be used for birthday, wedding, etc. The heart image can be used for Valentine's Day, weddings, baby cards, etc. See where I'm going with this? This set is wonderfully and deceptively versatile. I stuck to Christmas because I wanted to combine it with some of the "Under the Mistletoe" Designer Series Paper that I hadn't really used yet. If you spend much time on Pinterest, you see what others are doing with Stampin'Up! products and notice things you had overlooked, especially paper!
Here's what I did:
Aren't those little framelits adorable? The presents die has a regular stitching line, the tree has a cross hatch style stitch and the hearts have little cross stitches. I really thought these were cute. There are some additional stamps and sentiments included but really the framelits are what sold me.
I'm hearing there will be an inventory clearance sale in December. That usually means it is products from the Holiday catalog that will not carry over past January 3rd. I'll keep you posted but this would be a great bundle to pick up, especially on sale!
I hope you have a fabulous weekend as you welcome in December and all the festivities that usually means. First on our list of events is a Handel's Messiah performance with my son-in-law singing the bass/baritone solos. I look forward to this every year and it's a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season!
Have a great weekend!
