Mid Week Blog #54 - Case the Catalogue

 Hello & welcome to my blog,

My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. Today's blog showcases the creations of the artists at Stampin' Up from the July - December '22 Mini Catalogue. There are 2 cards today that are shown on page 10 of the catalogue & will help you add to your Christmas card stash.


Here's a pic from the catalogue of the original cards to compare to my cards. 


I chose the top left & bottom card to CASE & love how they turned out.

There's not much difference, just slight placement variance, a little extra bling & a longer label for the sentiment on the Real Red card.

 

These cute cards were created with the Sweet Candy Canes stamp set & Candy Canes dies which also come bundled to help you save 10%. I added some Real Red Glimmer Paper, Gold Shimmer paper, Seasonal Sequins & Garden Green ribbon.

I really enjoyed CASEing this week. It's so nice to create with all the hard work already done for you! 😂 My next blog is on Sunday & shows you how to use the Blessings of Home stamp set & Flowers of Home dies. I have used these before and loved using them. I hope you like the new creations I have for you. Next week's Mid Week blog is a fun fold with an added gift tag. I hope you can join me for both of them. 

That's all I have for this post. Thanks so much for stopping by. Til next time, stay safe & keep creating. XX Alison

I had originally planned to share how to use the stamping off technique to create different colourways with the same ink pad but life &...
