January 4, 2021 is the LAST DAY to order from the 2020 Holiday Catalog so I thought I’d share a collection of my favorite Christmas projects that I made with products from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.
The Poinsettia Petals stamps and dies seem to be a clear winner here! Even thought the cards I made to mail out used the Nativity Bundle (and I don’t have any pictures!). The Peace and Joy stamp and die bundle came in 2nd. Just 1 day left to grab your favorite from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.
I showed you my favorite Christmas projects from the 2020 Holiday Catalog. Now it’s your turn! Leave me a comment with your favorite from all the projects I posted. Thanks!
Metallic accents add so much class and bling to any project – I say “Let it Shine!” One of favorites from the new 2019 Stampin’ UP! catalog is the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper. What makes it special is the gold foil accents in the paper. And nothing says Christmas to me like plaid – win/win! Let’s take a look”
Between the plaid paper and the plaid Christmas Tree stamp from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set, I’m in Christmas plaid Heaven! And the metallic gold foil accents of the DSP repeat the gold in the Shaded Spruce/Gold Striped Ribbon. The main focal point is a Christmas tree cropped from a sheet of gold foil and the sentiment is embossed with Gold Embossing powder.
The Paper Players Challenge
I’m not the only one who is liking all these metallic accents – the Paper Players like them too as is evident by this weeks challenge which is all about Marvelous Metallics.
You call see all the submissions for the Paper Players Challenge here.
I love that I could use 3 different metallics (Gold Foil, gold foil accents in the DSP and gold embossing powder) on 1 project and have perfect coordination! The product coordination is what hooked me on Stampin’ Up! many years ago and I’m still hooked! The stamps and punches are perfectly coordinated to crop out those trees. The plaids coordinate and so do the colors.
My trusty paper snips made easy work of cropping out Christmas Cheer from the sentiment after heat embossing it with gold embossing powder.

I think the #1 staple in any crafter’s supply is a quality paper trimmer. Stampin’ Up! hit a homerun with the introduction of their new paper cutter. If you have any paper crafters on your holiday shopping list, make them happy, happy with a Stampin Trimmer.
But, my favorite thing about Stampin’ Up! is their product coordination. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when we have a stamp set and a coordinating punch or dies. The Scentsation Season Bundle fills that bill. Sets like this go straight to the top of my wish list because of their ease of making great looking cards without a lot of work. Stamp, crank, ta-DA! It just doesn’t get any easier than that.
What’s more comforting & welcoming on a cold winter day than a cup of hot cocoa and cookies? My card was designed to be a table (a piece of retired DSP in a woodgrain pattern created that wooden table edge) with a tablecloth (thanks to the Paper Doily Sizzlit) inviting you to come & warm up with hot cocoa & cookies.
The Scentsational Season stamp set includes an adorable mug of cocoa, steam, gingerbread cookies, and a candy cane, Christmas tree & a star. The Coordinating Framelits dies makes cutting those shapes a breeze. Check back here later in the week, I’ll be posting some real simple cards made with this set to give you inspiration for other things to do with this set. A shout-out to pal Ann Schach for her trick to cut a slit in the cocoa and slip the steam inside the cocoa!
I used a blender pen to remove the red ink from the cocoa mug and a Stampin’ Write marker in Chocolate Chip to color in the cocoa. I also used colored sharpies to color the pearls to dress up our little gingerbread men!
I hope you were inspired to add a coordinating stamp set & dies to your wish list and/or the Stampin’ Trimmer to your wish list, or to your shopping list for a crafter in your life! Thanks for stopping into My Stampin’ Space and hanging out with me. Come back again.
