Ink it Stamp it Design Team Blog Hop: CASE the Holiday Catalogue

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Design Team Blog Hop - we hop every month so be sure to pop back and visit us again!  Today we are highlighting products from the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue.  

You are currently at my page - Stephanie Fischer, The Crafty Thinker.  At the end of my post there is a full line of team members, please click on the name after mine in the list to continue the hop.

I've cased one of the cards pictured on page 4 of the Holiday Catalogue featuring the All Is Bright Suite.  

This is my version.

A Christmas Card with non-traditional colours and suitable for a masculine recipient

I've chosen to use the very beautiful Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper and have taken my colours from the paper.

I cut the Floral Frames label from Early espresso cardstock to give a deep, rich colour for the copper foil to glow against.  I had cut the Tranquil Tide foliage for a different card but stole it for this one!

I stamped the greetings onto Gray Granite offcuts with Early Espresso ink, cut them out with the frame dies in the coordinating die set that comes with the Merry Christmas To All Bundle and then added some gorgeous copper shimmer to the edges with paintbrush and the new Copper Shimmer Paint.  I also added some of the White Frost Shimmer Paint to the foliage.

I cut the word "Merry" from the die set in both Gray Granite and Copper Foil Sheet and off-set them when I adhered them to the card.  TIP:  placing Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet on the back of the cardstock before die-cutting makes it much easier to adhere fiddly pieces such as this!

Products I've used from the Holiday Catalogue:

Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper

Merry Christmas To All Bundle (stamp set and dies)

Shimmer Paint - Frost White

Shimmer Paint - Bright Copper

The Holiday Catalogue sales period will be  5 September 2018 to 2 January 2019. If you live in Australia, don't currently have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and would like your own copy of the catalogue full of amazing products and beautiful inspiration, contact me.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop: Theme - 2018 Holiday Catalogue Sneak Peek

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  This month we are providing sneak peeks from the amazing new Holiday Catalogue that runs from 5 September 2018 to 2 January 2019.

 You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer (The Crafty Thinker) from Australia.  I hope you enjoy my card.

Shimmer Paint adds beautiful glowing richness to a project and the Still Night Bundle is stunning!

The owl and greeting are from the Still Night stamp set.  The owl is stamped with Bright Copper Shimmer Paint (another new product in the Holiday Catalogue).  Please see this previous card for more details.

The owl, the Copper Foil Sheet branch and the greeting are all cut with the coordinating Night Owl Thinlit Dies.  TIP:  The stamp set and dies are available as a bundle for a 10% saving).

For the background, I embossed a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock with the new Tin Tile Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I then used a Sponge Brayer to add some highlights with the Vegas Gold and Bright Copper Shimmer Paints.

The new Reversible Ribbon is beautiful: coppery on one side and Merry Merlot on the other.

The Holiday Catalogue sales period runs from 5 September 2018 to 2 January 2019.  Please contact me if you'd like a copy, live in Australia and don't currently have a Stampin' Up Distributor.
