Holiday Catalog Favorites


2013aughop_badge


Thank you for joining us for the August Pals Blog Hop. Even though it's only August we want to provide some inspiration for your upcoming holiday projects. This month's blog hop will showcase new products from the 2013 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. We hope you enjoy seeing how we use the new stamps, new punches and other accessories!

You should have just left stop number 18 on the Pals Hop - Patti MacLeith at Papercrafts by Patti. If so, you are in the right spot.  If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

As you will probably notice in the coming weeks, I love the Holiday Catalog and want it all.  This weekend I worked on 3 different banners made with the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit.  I had so much fun.  They are easy to make and so cute.  Be sure to visit my blog in the days ahead as I will be posting these projects soon. 
I am always looking ways to use my Stampin' Up products in new ways.  So here are a couple of Halloween cards that use one of the Banner templates and an extra supply from the Halloween Kit.  What do you think?




Don't you just love the polka dots?  I used daubers and the polka dot template, so easy.  I added the spider and web, which I didn't use on my "Spooky" banner. 




It is easy to use different color combinations.  The sentiments on both cards are from the NEW Halloween Bash Stamp Set. 

Card Details
Stamp Set:  Halloween Bash
Paper:  Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Witches' Brew DSP
Ink:  Pumpkin Pie and Staz'On Black
