Holly Berry Bouquet Ornament

I used a retired SU chipboard tag with silver cording, Holly Berry Bouquet designer paper, Pines & Poinsettias stamp set and ornament punch to create this ornament.

Holiday Stocking

The new Stampin' Up holiday mini is almost here and has some really wonderful new things for the fall and winter holidays. This is the Sizzix Bigz Holiday Stocking die and is a cinch to make things with. This one will be used as an ornament so I added a gold cord hanger. I embossed the Garden Green cardstock with the Petals-a-Plenty folder and added the accent pieces cut from the new Holly Berry Bouquet paper. Lace is non SU but I thought it was a cute addition.
For the poinsettia I cut three flowers from the Birds & Blooms large flower embosslit Sizzix die in Real Red and snipped between each petal. Then you put it on your foam paper piercing mat and press down in the center with the fat end of the Impressor stylus. This curves the petals upward. I used a thin embossing stylus to etch some lines into the petals to make it look a bit more realistic. Added some beads and Dazzling Diamonds to the center.

Holly Berry Snowman

I really love this new Holly Berry Bouquet paper from Stampin' Up. I used it with the Snow Much Fun snowman and the sentiment from Bells & Boughs. Layout is from Korin Sutherland.

Holly Berry Santa

I used the new Holly Berry Bouquet designer paper and the Jolliest Time of the Year Santa peeking out of the corner. The wreath was made using the Martha Stewart fern punch in Garden Green and I made some pine cones out of small flowers punched from Soft Suede.

You Are Loved

Another new set coming out in the Stampin' Up Holiday mini is called You Are Loved. It is a Valentine set but I think it will work well for many other occasions such as friendship, thinking of you, encouragement, anniversary. Quite versatile!
I used a Crumb Cake base with Soft Suede and Riding Hood Red. The main flower image was inked with Kraft and Real Red. The paper is Holly Berry Bouquet (a Christmas paper). I stamped the same floral in Saffron on one of the papers. Hand stitched with crochet lace thread (twine). Added a subtles button and taffeta ribbon. The layout is from Mojo Monday 203.

Holly Berry Bouquet Stockings

The new Holly Berry Bouquet designer specialty paper is my favorite Stampin' Up Christmas paper yet! I used the new stocking punch for this and the Sizzix texture plates for the two different textures on the "fireplace". Sahara Sand on bottom was sponged with matching ink. Rhinestone tacks and red baker's twine as hangers. Sentiment is from Bells & Boughs.
