I’ve got some cards to show you today with the Wrapped in Plaid suite which is probably my favourite suite in the catalogue. What I love is the traditional colours and the simplicity of the punch. My cards use the same simple layout and are very quick to create.
I used the Pine Tree Punch from the Perfectly Plaid bundle (Item #151143) to punch out the trees from the Designer Series Paper. These were then mounted with Dimensionals onto a 2″ circle from matching cardstock (colours I have used here are Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce). Then I added a 2 1/4″ Gold Foil circle.
I stamped the sentiment in the coordinating ink on Whisper White cardstock 14.2 cm x 9.9 cm. The strip of Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper (Item #149596) has been cut to 14.8 cm x 5.2 cm.
These cards took me minutes to make and would be great to mass produce. The addition of the Gold Foil adds an extra festive feel to match with the gold on the DSP.

It’s great to have you visiting me today at Stamping Flair. I’m so excited to be participating in the Stampin’ Dreams blog hop and to be able to share with you a sneak peek from the brand new Holiday Catalogue.
With so many products to choose from, it was really hard to work out what I wanted to highlight today. I have chosen the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley to feature in my projects.
This Product Medley is a bunch of beautiful products in a box and when I opened it, it was like a Christmas present. There are so many things in the box. Here’s what you get.
48 sheets 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper (8 sheets of 6 double sided designs)
12 gold foil card fronts (4 each of 3 designs)
7 sticker sheets
9.1m gold/white tinsel trim
58 adhesive-backed gold faceted stars
6 dies
11 piece stamp set
So you can make a LOT of cards with this Product Medley.
The tree has been stamped with the new Delicata Golden Glitz Metallic ink. This ink range also comes in Silvery Shimmer and Celestial Copper. These inks are beautiful and I love the metallic look of them. The tree is stamped on Shimmery White cardstock. I then inked up a clear block with Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive and used an aqua painter to pick up the colour for the tree.
Then I poured Ice Stampin’ Glitter over the tree by applying liquid glue in the areas I wanted covered with glitter and poured the glitter over.
To coordinate with the card I also made this cute mini Curvy Keepsake box. It’s a die that cuts this out in one piece and it is so easy to assemble. What a cute little package to give with this card at Christmas. I embellished it with the ribbon and sticker from the Product Medley.
Hope you have been inspired with these projects to get a start on your Christmas creating. You are currently visiting Rochelle Laird-Smith of Stamping Flair in Australia. For more inspiration, make sure you stop by all the blog hop participants listed below to see what products they are previewing.

So glad that you have stopped by today. I’m excited to be participating for the first time in the Kre8tors Blog Hop. This month’s theme is The Hood River Fruit Loop. It’s a collection of farms in the Hood River Valley in Oregon, USA that offer fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other items straight off the farm.
We had to select 3 of the 5 featured colours beneath this beautiful photo. I have chosen Early Espresso, Petal Pink and Cherry Cobbler.
The Whisper White layer has been stamped in Early Espresso with the script from the Very Versailles stamp set. Then I added the flourish from Leave a Little Sparkle in Cherry Cobbler. 3 leaves were stamped on top with Early Espresso. To complete the background, I used the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write marker and created the splatter effect by flicking the brush side against the cap of the marker. This creates the subtle splatter look.
Next I drew 2 lines in pencil to indicate where I was going to cut through. The vertical line was 2.5 cm from left edge at top and 4.5 cm from left edge at bottom. The horizontal line was 11.5 cm from top on left side and 7.5 cm from top on right side.
I trimmed about 1/2 cm on either side of the pencil mark which forms the gap so the Early Espresso can show through.
I used the new Daisy Lane bundle and stamped and punched 3 daises, layering and curling the petals with a bone folder to create the flower.

My inspiration today is a sketch challenge from the Fab Friday Challenge Blog and … wait for it…. International cat day. We have a rescue cat, Toulouse and she’s been with us 2 years now.
I picked Smoky Slate as my base card and created a layer on top with the Button Button embossing folder. I chose this folder because it reminded me of Toulouse as sometimes she can be a bit nuts and loves to get in my box of ribbons and craft stuff.
The cat was punched out of Rococo Rose Designer Series Paper.
I die cut the circle and stamped the sentiment. Then I layered the gingham cat on top of the ribbon and felt border from the Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit. The cute felt flower around kitty’s neck is also from this kit which comes with several embellishments in Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry.
Measurements
Smoky Slate – 21cm x 14.8cm (scored in half), for scalloped circle
Whisper White – 9.5cm x 13.8cm
Rococo Rose DSP – for cat

Thank you for stopping by my blog, Stamping Flair, today. Demonstrators from around the world are being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci and the theme this month is Encouragement.
I chose hues of greens and blues for this card to make it bright and cheery and perfect for our theme.
Oh Darling, you are fabulous ….I love this sentiment and think it would really lift someone up.
The background was created by stamping the leaves in Soft Sea Foam and Granny Apple Green. I love the bright, summery feel of these shades of green. I then added the heat embossed, Gold leaves which really add to the cheering up sentiment of my card.
To create the double colour on the sentiment, I used the Stamparatus. First I stamped in Pretty Peacock. Then moving the cardstock a tiny bit to the right, I masked the sentiment with washi tape and inked the stamp with Granny Apple Green. Then I stamped the sentiment which creates the pretty double colour on the word ‘darling’.
I mounted the sentiment on another oval die cut from Pretty Peacock Cardstock and embossed with the Tufted Embossing Folder. This has then been adhered onto a Soft Sea Foam oval to create a pretty, focal mage.
The bow was formed by snipping a section of the linen ribbon apart. I created a mock bow using glue dots to secure in place.

What’s the next best thing to having one of Claude Monet’s painting hanging in your home? Stampin’ Up! Perennial Designer Series Paper! One of our product designers, Julie Alusa, went to New York and was so inspired by Monet’s works of art, she decided to paint her own masterpiece.
In her own words: ‘While I was admiring Monet’s massive water lily paintings at the Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan, I was inspired to do a Monet-esque page in the Designer Series Paper of impressionistic water lilies.’
My card today uses a very simple layout and to showcase one of these beautiful papers.
I attached the ribbon with Tear & Tape then adhered the Designer Series Paper onto card base. The butterfly is part of a large die which has a group (or a kaleidoscope!) of butterflies, I cut one of these off to be the focal point of this card and layered the silver on top of Blushing Bride to make it stand out.
The sentiment has been heat embossed in silver and die cut with the Layering Ovals die.
Measurements:
Blueberry Bushel – 21cm x 14.8cm (scored in half)
Perennial Essence DSP – 9.2cm x 13.6cm
Silver Foil – for butterfly
Blushing Bride – for Butterfly and sentiment

Friendship day is celebrated today and I am so very thankful for all my friends near and far, old and new. Stampin’ Up! has brought me a whole lot of new friends who I never would have met if it wasn’t for crafting. What a wonderful journey.
My card celebrates my gratitude for you, with the sentiment – I am thankful for YOU – which is from the Painted Harvest stamp set. The flower has been stamped in Stazon ink on vellum. I left this to dry. Then I turned it over and coloured it with Stampin’ Blends. This gives it a stained glass look. Then I attached the flower with the coloured side at the back. I used liquid glue along the black stamping so the glue can’t be seen through the vellum
Tip:
When applying adhesive to vellum, ensure it’s not visible at the front. Some ways to do this are:
Apply liquid glue in very fine dots along the black line (do this sparingly). This will only work if the image has a thicker border like this flower
Apply glue using a Stamping Sponge to the back of image. This will apply a thin layer and won’t leave visible marks on your image
If you add another layer, eg. sentiment, on top of the vellum, apply the adhesive to the area of vellum which gets covered by the sentiment
Measurements:
Thick Whisper White – 21 cm x 14.8 cm (scored in half)
Basic Black – 9.9 cm x 14.2 cm
Whisper White – 10.5 cm x 4.7 cm (for embossing) and scraps
Shaded Spruce scraps
DSP – 9.5 cm x 13.8 cm
Vellum – for flower
