SNEAK PEEK: Quilted Christmas

I’m so excited about Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Holiday Catalog – demonstrators were able to place their pre-orders from this amazing new book starting today.  What fun!  The first suite in the catalog – Quilted Christmas – is likely to be the first suite on your wish list.  I’m excited to share a few items from this fun and versatile suite on today’s 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ card.  Here’s my card:

Christmas Quilt, Quilt Builder Framelits Dies, Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper Stack, Stampin' Up!, 2017 Holiday Catalog

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

  • Quilted Christmas Suite.  What an incredible group of new products!  This suite (stamp set, dies, paper, ribbon and other accessories) is designed for Christmas but is flexible to be used all year long.  I love that!  While the card above showcases the Christmas Quilt stamp set, the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies and Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper Stack, there’s nothing “Christmas-y” about it.  Here’s a look at this super-fun bundle that includes the stamp set and dies – don’t be fooled by how simple it looks because these layers work together to provide a bunch of wonderful layers (you can click on this link to see more about the item in my online store):

    Here’s a look at this incredible Designer Series Paper Stack – I love that it features so many non-traditional colors for Christmas: Quilted Christmas Desiger Series Paper Stack, Stampin' Up!

  • Which New Products?  What new products are featured on this card and where?  Let’s take a closer look:
    • The two large panels are cropped from the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper Stack.
    • The sentiment is stamped with the Christmas Quilt stamp set.  “When life gives you scraps, make a quilt” – such a sweet sentiment.
    • The spool of thread is cropped with the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies before it was carefully wrapped with Whisper White Baker’s Twine.  The needle is cropped with the same dies and a Silver Foil Sheet.  What fun!

Here’s a close look at the new items featured on this card:

  • Color Combination.  Any combination of green and pink is wonderful and fun!  Blushing Bride is a sophisticated pink, and Garden Green is a sophisticated green.  Together, they are incredible!  The red, pale green and pale blue in the pattern of paper behind the sentiment add to the excitement of this color combination.  If you like this combination, too, please save this:   Stampin' Up! Color Inspiration: Blushing Bride, Garden Green, Whisper White

You Don’t Have to Wait!  Stampin’ Up! released the Carols of Christmas bundle to demonstrators in July – and it’s available to customers now!  There’s no reason to wait until September when the catalog is released.  🙂  What fun!  It’s a great way to get started on your holiday stamping.  Here’s a video from Stampin’ Up! that shows how these stamps and dies work together:

  1. This card is so cute!!! Love that you showed this set iut of it’s Christmas glory.

  2. Great sentiment and adorable card! Love it!

  3. Wow, Brian. Leave it to you to show the beauty of a stamp bundle I was so sure I didn’t need that I kept scrolling by the page on my iPad. Didn’t even see that the dies cut a needle and a spool too. Absolutely LOVE this!

  4. LOVE this!!! (I’m a quilter…need I say more?)

  5. Hi Brian,
    I love this card. I am a quilter also and this is right up my alley.
    Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

  6. Can’t wait to get this bundle. Love your card!

  7. Brian, this is too cute for words! I LOVE the spool and needle. I don’t think I would have ever thought to do that even though it’s in the catty (couldn’t tell what it was from pic). I bought the ribbon & DSP from this suite on my pre-order but didn’t think I needed the bundle. I am adding to my wish list for later 🙂

  8. “Sew” adorable. Love that you started with the spool and needle!

  9. Oh Brian – there is no way I cannot buy this suite! All my quilting friends will go bonkers when I send them a card with a quilt pattern on it. Another great thing is that with the dies you can cut fabric and “paper piece” with fabric instead of card stock. What fun this suite is going to be. Can I say I love it five times over? LOL

    Mary stole my line – “Sew” adorable. Anyway, I loved your card. When I saw the needle in the set I knew it would be fun to to have it threaded on a card.

    Last night I went to a lecture on Barn Quilts that are actually painted on barns and not real fabric quilts. Trust me her slides gave me lots of inspiration to get this set and use it for lots of fun things such as cards, ornaments etc. Of course I had to buy one of her books autographed to remember the patterns.

  11. I use to quilt and my daughter quilts so this is a perfect set to get for me.
    So much fun to get creative with the color choices and patterns .

  12. Oooh my YOU QUILT , MY FRIEND, LOL , you did a great job
    Love it !!!
    Tfs hugs Frenchie

  13. Yep it was on my preorder, thanks for the great sample. So looking forward to making card sets with this one.

  14. Gorgeous card Brian. I am in love with the colors you selected. I’m still on the fence about this suite even though I really like the dsp.

  15. Super cute! I didn’t realize this set came with the little needle and spool die. Now I love it even more!
