2017 Holiday Sneak Peek Samples and Sponged Backgrounds Video Tutorial

I simply love so many of the sets from the new Holiday Catalog!  I can't believe ordering goes live TOMORROW!! 

I have been in the Christmas mood since playing with these great new items, but I think that my kids have decided that I am crazy. It has been consistently near or over 100 °F for the past few days with no end in sight in the near future, and I am going around humming Christmas songs! I am trying to convince them that it is helping me to feel cooler, but the truth is working with the Christmas stamps and accessories has put Christmas on my mind!  It will be here before we know it!  I am trying to plan ahead this year. (I say that every year). I make hundreds of Christmas cards, and I am sure my family would appreciate me getting many of them done ahead since they end up helping me at the end when I run out of time.

While playing with my new toys, I found that many of the stamp sets went very well with a sponge brayered background, so I decided to make a video tutorial highlighting this technique. I have included a close up of the card samples show in the video below.

 

 

Most of these samples include stamp sets that will be available starting September 1, 2017.

Another 2017 Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek

I am still traveling!  I feel like I haven't been home for weeks - oh wait, I haven't!!  I am currently visiting family in Pennsylvania.  It has been nice to see everyone. I am starting to have some stamping withdrawal, however!

This is a sample I made right before I left home again after returning from the Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip to Thailand. 

This sample was made using the Ready for Christmas Bundle. This is an amazing stamp set with matching framelits! This was one of our pillow gifts on the Incentive Trip!  I was very excited to receive this bundle! It is one of my favorites from the new 2017 Holiday Catalog.
