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

 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. I blog twice a week, once on a Sunday where I mainly showcase a stamp set or dies & sometimes special DSP. My second blog is mid week on a Wednesday where I look at techniques, colour challenges, card sketches, fun folds, tools & equipment & ways to make or improve your projects. That's what this blog is about. If you've visited my blog before, one of the things that you may know about me is that I love to create with Stampin' Up® kits. Last week I shared with you 4 cards that I had made using an advent calendar kit, Rustic Christmas, & today I will share more creations made with the kit.  These cards were made with supplies I had on hand in addition to some of the remainder of the kit supplies.
