Tied up with bows is the theme for our New at SU blog hop for December. We are here to bring some inspiration to you using our range of ribbons and other products that feature bows.
I’ve chosen the Sophisticated Sled bundle which has some bows incorporated within it’s images. I coloured the sled and the garland with Stampin’ Blends. For my bow I used Petal Pink and Cherry Cobbler to give a variation in colour.
Behind the sled I’ve added a double bow with the Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon and topped it with a bow tied from Gold Twisted Thread. You can’t have enough bows when it’s a bow theme!
On the base of my card I added some specialty paper strips against Basic Beige Cardstock. The paper with it’s gold detail coordinates beautifully with the gold on the ribbon. A sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler on Petal Pink Cardstock and some Foiled Gems complete this card.
I hope you have been inspired with this Christmas card and try some of the ideas you see here. You can order these products from my Online Store Australia wide using the supply list at the bottom of this post.

Welcome to our 500th challenge at the CASEing the Catty Challenge. What a milestone. Today we have some special guests joining us in our blog hop. Welcome to some of our past Crew members who will be sharing inspiration with us. Our theme today is basically Creator’s Choice. We could choose anything to CASE from any of our current catalogues.
We hope you join us in this special edition of the CASEing the Catty challenge and share your CASEd creations in our FB group.
I’m CASEing some of the design elements from this card which is on Page 20 of the 2024-2025 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. This section of the catalogue features some of our Mix & Match products.
I chose my focal element of the house from the Humble Home bundle and coloured it with Stampin’ Blends. A Basic Beige label die cut using the Greetings of the Season Dies was embossed with the So Swirly Embossing folder and blended with Pecan Pie ink giving it texture and variation in colour.
Around the house I added some ephemera in keeping with the original design. I also added some die cut leaves from the Winterly Tree Tops dies which I coloured with Watercolour Pencils. Holly leaves from the Reindeer Days dies were coloured with Stampin’ Blends and placed at the base of the arrangement. Three embellishments form ‘berries’ to complete the cluster.
On the background I added a panel of Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper. I wanted to have a pattern for this layer as the original card was printed. I played around with several patterns before finally deciding on this Pool Party snowflake sheet and was really pleased with the result.
The two stars in the card I CASEd have been replaced with the sentiment from the Reindeer Days stamp set. This was cut apart to suit my sketch. I pulled all the elements together onto a Pool Party matte layer and layered it onto a Basic Beige card base which
I have loved creating this card and putting my style to this design and hope you have been inspired by it. Please leave me a comment as you hop by to see Kathryn Mangelsdorf’s project.

Well, it’s hard to believe but we have come to the final Monochromatic challenge with the Crafty Collaborations Insta Hop. Today, I’ve used the More than Autumn bundle to create a rather non-traditional Christmas card.
This card actually started with the doughnuts! I wasn’t sure how or where it was going but it just was fun to colour. One was coloured in Stampin’ Blends, adding a little bit of Fresh Freesia for some blending. On the other I used ink refills with a Blender pen to get a lighter shade. I love the varied shading that can be achieved by using different colouring mediums.
The next element I coloured in was the cup and I like to think that this is filled with egg nog – it’s a favourite in our home at Christmas.
Once I had all my Highland Heather elements, I needed a colour to coordinate with it. After trying a few combinations, I loved the look of the Naturally Gilded sheet which had the Copper design. It had just the right amount of design and white space and worked really well with my sketch.
I die cut some leaves from the Changing Leaves dies which is a favourite in my collection. It’s got a lovely variety of leaves and is great for filling-in around arrangements. The hearts were die cut from the Oxidized Copper paper which the leaves were also die cut from and I added them as an embellishment.
Let me know what you think of my non-traditional colour palette and if you are inspired to try this yourself? Shop the products for this card in my Online Store HERE.
