Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - NEW Holiday Products

Welcome to the September 2024 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices mentioned are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is NEW Holiday Products! We'll be sharing projects tied to the 2024 September-December (Holiday) Mini Catalog and/or our brand new September 2024 Scrapbooking Brochure!

I only just realized I shared these cards on Instagram, but never posted them on my blog - they are inspired from a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator exclusive event back in June, called Creativity Now. We were able to preorder the Nests of Winter Suite Collection (pictured below) before the event, and we got a supplies list of other items we would need, and a cutting guide for the cardstock and paper. I often like to do things differently, so I waited until I saw the actual project pictures, before cutting anything. The event projects used our Neutrals Color Collection, but I wasn't a fan of that so I used our Regals Color Collection. The event projects also used our Stampin' Blends, but I opted instead to use our Watercolor Pencils Asst 1.

Honestly, I wasn't super excited by the projects, because even though we could preorder the whole suite, there was also an option to order only the Bundle with the stamp set and coordinating dies. So, to ensure those who only ordered the Bundle could participate fully, the 3 main cards used *only* the stamp set and dies from the suite. I was working on the fly, during the event, but I did manage to change the designs enough to at least use the Nests of Winter 12x12 Designer Series Paper on all 3 of those main cards. The Scalloped Gift Card Box was an extra project we could make, and we smeared some copper Metallic Enamel Effects Basics on the top to give it an elegant background. Of course, I had to be a little different, so I added the metallic effects to the box flap, backed it with a little strip of Old Olive Cardstock, and then added a few strips of the Nests of Winter 12x12 Designer Series Paper around the box sides.

There was also an extra card we could make, and I changed that one only slightly.
