2016 Holiday Catalouge

Welcome and thank you for visiting the ESAD 2016 Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop, were your going to see a wonderful array of ideas and projects from some great artists. You may have just come from Richelle, I am excited to see what everyone had made for you.

I just love the new 2016 Holiday Catalogue and was exited to know that there was going to be a blog hop to display some of the great stamps. We have had many stars over the years, however I feel that this set called Star of Light is the most versatile and beautiful that Stampin’ Up! have made.

Love the different ways to use this set, and hope you do too. How nice would that look on your Christmas table?

Not to stop there, here are more ideas for this set.

For this card I used the Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series Papers, also in the new catalogue, love the stars that are on this, then I used the reverse side of the paper and using the new Foam Roller, I rolled over the card front.

Using Navy Blue ink pad I rolled the color onto the card front.

I do hope your enjoyed my little contribution to this hop. Thanks for stopping by and now your off to see Jane of Papillion Paper Craft has made for us.

You ask, what is ESAD. See below

Blog Hop Participants:

Welcome to the IINSpired Artist 39 Blog Hop. If you have already started on the hop you will have come from the very talented Louise Sharp who I am sure has created something very cute.

I just think I am so lucky I get to be between both Louise and Teneale, both of them make me lift my game a little. Not that I want to compete, but love both their work.

This is the sketch we were given to work with, as there are just so many new stamps out in the new Holiday Catalogue I thought I could make a card from this catalogue.

I chose to us the Father Christmas Stamp Set, there is another one called Christmas Magic, think both of these are my favourite ones……………we not really as I love nearly all of them, even the Halloween set.

I began my stamping out the image of Santa on White, Craft and Very Vanilla Cardstock then using my markers started to colour them to see which one I licked best. I decided on the Vanilla and using my markers started to colour them in. I started with the tree and then the smaller toys then bag and trumpet. It was so much fun and was the third thing I have coloured from the new catalogue. I left Santa to last as his colour is rather full on and I didn’t want to paint other items by mistaken.

I am very pleased with my effort wit Santa, see him below. Don’t you just love the new embossing folder, its so detailed and gorgeous.
