With beautiful images of bees, flowers, and honeycomb, and with a pop of gold foil accents, this designer series paper will definitely make all of your crafting pop!

Oh, but that’s not all. What will really make you fall in love with all of this paper is how you can even use the Detailed Bee Dies found in the January–June 2020 Mini Catalog (page 30) to cut out some of the images on the paper! Wait, does that mean you don’t have to fussy cut the images as much? Absolutely!

And did we mention that you can get this item for FREE with a $50 USD/$60 CAD purchase? Yeah, you’ll love that too. There’s so much to love about this designer series paper. But don’t take our word for it—make sure it is at the top of your wish list when Sale-A-Bration officially begins on January 3!

SW_Christmastime_create_Oct2919.jpg

Who said Christmas is just in December? We didn’t. We love celebrating it all year long, and now we have the perfect suite to do so: the Christmastime Is Here Suite.

This suite is filled with so many great products that will really bring in the holidays. You’ll fall in love with the Christmas Rose Stamp Set with beautiful imagery that coordinates perfectly with the Roses Dies. But the suite doesn’t just come with the usual designer series paper, stamp set, and embellishments. You also get the Charming Rose Bracelet, which—in our unbiased opinion (*wink*)—is a showstopper! It’s perfect as a gift for customers, friends, family, or even yourself! You can see all the fun products that come with the suite in this video here.

Bring Christmas in with a little bit of beautiful rose patterns, and a lot of Christmas spirit.

Make-it Monday- Gift Box

Tis the season for gifting! This versatile little box was created by taking apart one of the SU Shipping Boxes and simply taping it back together inside-out. While you have it apart, you have the opportunity to decorate it however you see fit, here using adornments from the Cup of Christmas stamp set, some inks, and the new snow puff paint! I hope this cute little “outside the box” project inspires you to gift handmade this holiday season!

Layer on the Stamps to create a Beautiful Scene

sw_SnowFront_create_Oct1519.jpg

The Snow Front Stamp Set should be on everyone’s bucket list. Here are a few reasons why:

  • There are so many things you can do! Either you can create a complete scene, or take little elements and create something new entirely. The opportunities are endless.

  • So. Many. Layers! This stamp set was made as a Two-Step Stampin’ set, so pack on those layers, just like our Merry Christmas sample! You can layer as much or as little as you want, and you can even mix in other elements as well.

  • This stamp set may be called Snow Front, but that doesn’t mean it HAS to be just for winter. You can use it all year! You can even follow our Congratulations sample and make a beautiful spring scene. So enjoy the seasons, and get creative.

This a beautiful stamp set that everyone will love. Now let your creativity shine with the Snow Front Stamp Set, and share your creations with the people you love!

Christmas feels are in the air as fall starts to wind down and the weather outside turns colder and colder. The holiday catalog is packed with so many beautiful holiday sets, sometimes it’s hard to choose just one. This card uses the Cup of Christmas bundle but mixes in the old world Christmas feels of the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper. I just love the rich greens mixed with the beautiful gold Delicata ink. Make this card with the supplies listed below, or get creative and use this example as a template for your own creations!

Have you ever had a moment when you didn’t know what to say? The Here’s a Card Stamp Set can help you in any event so if you don’t know what to say, you can give them a card! We’re positive the lucky recipient of your card will love it.

The samples above show how a casual or avid crafter could coordinate with products from both the annual catalog and the holiday catalog to get cards perfect for any occasion. In the Congratulations card, we combined this stamp set with the Leaf Punch and the Stitched Nested Dies from the annual catalog with the Feels Like Frost designer series paper from the holiday catalog. Our Happy Birthday card features the Balloon Bouquet Punch from the annual catalog and the Brightly Gleaming designer series paper from the holiday catalog. The Hello There card was made with the Stitched Shapes Dies and the Cup of Christmas Stamp Set.

There are so many ways to show someone how much they mean to you, but the Here’s a Card Stamp Set is a great place to start.

Make it Monday- Cup of Cheer Holiday Card

The Cup of Cheer set is such a versatile stamp set and combined with the dies, it really make for some simple but stunning cards! I especially love the Delicata ink in gold to really bring out the Wrapped in Plaid DSP and the accents in the ribbon. So many beautiful elements wrapped together in this card!
