So many products in Stampin’up!’s holiday catalogue!, so many ideas.
By now, you must all have a copy of the 2018 Holiday Catalogue! There are so many wonderful suites. I couldn’t pick just one to showcase for you today. Therefore, I combine products from different suites to create my cards. The best part is that the products have a look that can be used for the holidays and all year long. The Frosted Floral Suite has soft and dreamy florals and the Joyous Noel Suite has elegant touches of copper that blend beautifully with the Dashing Deer Bundle.
For my first card, I started with Shimmery White Cardstock (item 101910) as my card base. Next, I layered a piece of Merry Merlot Cardstock(item 146979). I added a third layer of Shimmery White Cardstock. On this piece, I watercoloredthe background using the Merry Merlot Classic Stampin’Pad (item 147112) and an Aqua Painterbrush (item 103954). I embellished the card with the Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8” Reversible Ribbon (item 147818) and the Very Vanilla 5/8” Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (item 147629). I die cut with a Big Shot (item 143263) and an oval die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits (item 145372) in Shimmery White Cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the First FrostStamp Set (item 148420) using Merry Merlot Ink. I also stamped florals from the First Frost Stamp Set using Merry Merlot Ink. I added extra floral images, die cut from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits Dies (item 147895) in Merry Merlot Cardstock, Shimmery White Cardstock and Sahara Sand Cardstock (item 121043).

For my second card, I started with some Merry Merlot Cardstock as the base of my card. I took a piece of Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 147816) and wrapped a piece of Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8” Reversible Ribbonthat I cut in half to make a thinner ribbon. I layered the piece of dsp on top of my card base. Then, I die cut a circle with a Big Shot and a circle die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits a piece of Joyous Noel Dsp. I also die cut the Joyous Noel 6”x 6” Glimmer Paper (item 147817) with a scallop circle from the Layering Circles Framelits (item 141705) and added this piece under the die cut circle.
