About Me

My photo
My name is Natalie and I love anything to do with card/paper. I have been a papercrafter for many years now and I never get bored playing with all the wonderful products available. I've been married to my wonderful husband Nathan for 35years now and we are still very much in love with each other as the first day we met each other. We have 3 wonderful children and 5 gorgeous grandchildren so we have lots to be thankful for. Since joining Stampin' Up! in 2018 I've grown so much in confidence with myself and I even tackle technology, which for me is a huge step to have taken, but I'm getting there slowly.

SUOC-287 Favourite holiday catalogue



Hi everyone and welcome to another great SUOC challenge where this time the theme is 'Favourite holiday catalogue' , choose what you have as one of your favourites from the mini catalogue July - December 2021, and I chose the really lovely 'Painted Christmas' suite. I haven't used all of the products from this suite, but almost 😊😀, well it is my favourite!


I just love how you can keep adding to your project and building it up!

The card I've made using it today is a 5" x 5" square card of which I've added different layers to the front incorporating different colours as I build it up. The paper layer I've added some crumb cake and early espresso ink to, using a blending brush to softly build the colour up.
I've stamped all of the elements using two colours for the 2 step pine cones stamps and then die cut them all out.
Some of the foilage has been snipped off from the large detailed die, using garden green, this is from the 'Christmas pinecone' dies.


The gold ribbon has been attached to the front of the card using tear n' tape to hold it in place and then the topper, which consists of a white label and a red velvet label (cut in half) from the 'Seasonal labels' dies, has been attached over the ribbon using dimensionals, and all of the foilage has then been tucked under and around the label.
I stamped and fussy cut the sentiment out, using 2 of the inks to give a nice contrast and then attached these with glue to the card front.
Finally using a pallette knife I applied some of the gorgeous shimmer paste, this gives a nice frosty feel to the front of the card, and I think it finishes it off perfectly!


Red rhinestones added and the card is finished!

Hope you liked todays card, as I said this is one of my favourites from the mini catalogue and I'm loving all of the projects I've made using it so far. It's such a great one to create with!

Hope you'll now hop over to the SUOC#287 and see what the rest of the design team have come up with for you, and find out what their favourites are too!

Until next time
