casing the upcoming catalog cover

I received the Upcoming Mini Catalogs and my pre-order last week and have been playing ever since! I have a ton of samples to share at my upcoming Open House in September and online in the upcoming weeks and months! This catalog is off the charts – one of my all time favorites – too many things I would love to have!!!
The cover of the catalog has a card I just had to CASE and start out my sneak peak blog post with! In shades of green the cover highlights one of my favorite suites in this catalog. On pages 28-31 the Joy of Christmas Suite is featured and the card that graces the cover is the one I made for you today. It is slightly different but copied from this sample.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″ die cut with the
vertical inserts
Scraps: Poppy Parade for the sentiment
Lost Lagoon for the pine boughs dies
Basic White for the greenery garland x3

Stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink three greenery sprays. Color the evergreen boughs in Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends on all three stamped images.

Using the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends combo pack – color and highlight the leaves on all three stamped sprays.

Using the Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends combo pack color the holly leaves with the light marker and highlight along the leaf veins with the dark marker and then color over the image again with the light marker.

Color the berries in Light Poppy Parade and then highlight ares in the Dark marker and cover the whole berry again in the light marker.

Die cut all three sprays in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss.

Adhere the three sprays small tip to larger end in a circle wreath using Stampin’ Seal.

Die cut four Pine boughs die cuts in Lost Lagoon scraps.

Adhere to the back of the wreath at equal intervals.

Fold base card using your Bone Folder and die cut the vertical die cuts into the Basic White layer. I did three die cuts on the layer.

Adhere the Basic White die cut layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card base.

Adhere the wreath and pine boughs to the center of the card base.

Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a 3/4″ Poppy Parade strip and punch the ends with the Banners Pick A Punch.

Adhere the sentiment to the center of the wreath.

Adhere three 2022-2024 In Color Pearls to the card front and you have a lovely Christmas card.

I cannot wait to see what things you fall in love with from this new upcoming mini catalog.
Need one let me know and I will mail it immediately or drop it off to you if you are local!

Go and create a list of all the items you will need to start making your Christmas cards this year. Go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
