It's September 1st so that means Stampin' Up's great Holiday Mini Catalog started today and runs through January 3. There are SO many great things in here so check it out at the link in the right column of my blog, complete with a link to a supply list for the project ideas shown in the mini catalog.
I wanted to share a Fall card set idea that would be a great hostess gift to take along if you're invited somewhere for Thanksgiving this year -- plus they'd just be fun to make for yourself. Stampin' Up CEO Shelli Gardner and her daughter Shalae Brown shared this great project at our convention this summer. It is four notecards, with matching envelopes that all feature the new Gently Falling stamp set, the colors More Mustard, Pool Party and Soft Suede -- a beautiful, unusual color combination inspired by the great new Spice Cake Designer Series Paper and matching fabric.
First the four cards:
Shelli and Shalae used the fabric as torn accents on the cards, to tie around the stack of envelopes and to sew an easy little pouch to give the cards in. Naturals Vanilla card stock is the paper that you see stamped on or embossed with our new Snow Burst embossing folder -- and torn and either glued or sewn to the notecard. And notice how a spritz with a Soft Suede marker and our Color Spritzer tool tones down the white base of the notecard. ( I love our notecards because they are smaller in size and come in a package of 20, pre-scored and with envelopes. One package would make 5 sets of these cards!)
Here are the envelopes and the pretty pouch:
Here's the supply list: Gently Falling and Hand-Penned Holidays Stamp Sets; Naturals Ivory Card Stock; Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes; Early Espresso, More Mustard, Pool Party, and Soft Suede Classic Stampin’ Pads; Soft Suede Stampin’ Writer Marker; Spice Cake Designer Fabric and Buttons; Vintage Trinkets; Stampin’ Dimensionals; Color Spritzer Tool; Big Shot; Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder; sewing machine and thread.
I'm not sure what I love most in the new mini -- the fall items or the Christmas ones! I do know that Spice Cake may just be my most favorite designer paper in a long time!
