Stampin’ for Christmas Blog Hop

Hi all,

I have joined a new blog hop which tasks me with doing something for Christmas, each month of the year! This will be a tough one for me, as I am a bit a Bah Humbug and personally like to celebrate Christmas from the middle of November, at a push!

And I have used the ‘C’ word twice already and it is only August!

But, in good news, I can show you a sneak peak of a suite from the new catalogue which is live in 3 DAYS!

I immediately saw this suite and fell in love with it, so I had to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) this card design from the new catalogue and then added a few extra twists.

I love the choice of colours Stampin’ Up! have used, they are beautiful and feel festive and warm. 

The suite is called the Trimming the Town, this comes with a Stamp set, Coordinating Dies, Ribbon duo, Embellishments and beautiful Designer series paper for £69.75/€90.00 Or you can order the bundle (Stamp set and Dies) for £44.00/€56.50.

And the best bit about this suite…. for each stamp set purchased, Stampin’ Up! are donating £2.50/€3.00 to local charities devoted to adoption, foster care and infertility, this makes it so much more special to me and makes you feel you can make a difference from your crafting.

This is available for you to order from 4th August 2020.

To make this card:

• Card base – A4 paper cut at 14.85cm and then score at 10.5cm
• Poppy Parade base layer – cut at 14.5cm x 10cm
• DSP – cut at 14cm x 9.5cm
• White sentiment layer for inside – 14.5cm x 10cm
• Stamp images from Coming home bundle onto Whisper White card stock in Memento black ink and colour with your choice of Blends, colours in this suite are: Poppy Parade, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Pool Party and Early Espresso.
• Cut out images and snow slope layering using coordinating Coming home bundle dies.
• Adhere together stamped images with Foam Dimensionals and Multipurpose adhesive.
• Using Sponge daubers, blend Misty Moonlight ink over the DSP
• Snip sentiments from Trimming the Town Designer Series paper and add to project.
• Add Embellishments, glitter and Ribbon as you desire.

I hope you like my first Christmas make of 2020, I am now going to pass on to Simone, who I am sure has something festively fabulous to share with you.
