Stampin’ Up! has released its 2022-23 annual catalogue! To celebrate, I’m participating in a social media hop with the Sleepless Stampers Stampin’ Up team. We are featuring the Happiness Abounds bundle, He’s all that stamp set, the Cracker and Treat box dies, Charming Sentiments bundle, Sending Smiles bundle, and the Sun Prints Suite. If you would like to follow along, connect with me on Facebook and Instagram to see everyone’s projects.

Sometimes I get lucky and the creative mojo is on fire. I can’t tell you how many times I have needed to design a card for a class or tutorial and overthink it so much that I create my own creative block. For my first social media hop with the team, I decided to just start playing with products by stamping and die cutting. After about a day of playing, I returned to my craft space and began with sketching layouts and ideas I wanted to incorporate. Next thing I knew, I had a bunch of ideas and when I would begin working on one, more would come!

The Abigail Rose suite includes the Cottage Rose bundle, Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper (DSP), and a roll of Natural Finish 7/8″ ribbon.

Card designs

Here are five card designs that I choose to showcase in our social media hop.

Handmade Christmas cards with Stampin’ Up!’s Painted Christmas Suite

Handmade Christmas cards with Stampin’ Up!’s Painted Christmas Suite

I have been keeping busy trying to make all the things that I want to make using Stampin’ Up!’s Painted Christmas Suite from the Mini Catalogue. I’m about halfway there, says my Pinterest board! Traditionally the June to December Mini Catalogue is called the Holiday Catalogue because it features products for the seasons and celebrations that are part of the last half of the year. I couldn’t buy all the things from the catalogue so I focused on two suites that will fulfill my handmade Christmas cards, tags and treat box quota for the holidays. One is the Painted Christmas Suite that I feature in this blog post and the other is the Peaceful Place Suite which I’ll share ideas for soon.

So many ideas!

This suite of products is huge. As soon as you start making one thing, a ton of ideas start flowing through your head and then I start to think that I would need a month off work to get them all made. When using a suite of products, everything coordinates so one idea leads to another very easily.

I have utilized the Two-Step Stampin’ features of the stamp sets but there are still a lot of ideas I have yet to hash out with the Christmas Pinecone dies. Without further ado, let’s look at the designs I have accomplished!

    I hope you found lots of inspiration for your handmade Christmas cards and holiday creations. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

    Until the next one, Dawn
