Ready for Christmas Staircase Bundle #1

One of the perks of going on the Thailand Incentive Trip with Stampin’ Up! is that we have permission to share some sneak peeks of new catalogue products with you.

We were so spoilt with many, many products from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue.

 

Do you remember that gorgeous bag I showed you on the trip highlights post? The one we got as a pillow gift?

Well, look what I’ve been storing inside it….

Squeeal!!!! Stampin’ Up! are sooooo generous.

The Holiday (Christmas) catalogue goes live on September 1st 2017, so I’m not going to show it all just yet… 

However, I do have a fun project to share with you today.

In fact it’s one from the presentation I did at the Share Fair in Thailand.

This was a card I had on display, and it’s a mix of old and new products.

The window frame may look familiar – it’s from the Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies. And trust me, if you don’t already have those dies, you’ll definitely want to order them now!

And you may recognise the Brick Wall embossing folder.

 

Can you notice any new products in there?

This card is a modified version of the ‘double front card’ layout, with a couple of flip-up layers.

Here’s the first layer we could see behind the ‘window’…

And this layer lifts up too, to reveal another layer….

Oh my! That staircase!

I’m loving those pine boughs too. Do you want to know something really cool?

Six of those pine boughs fit perfectly over the stamped image of the Christmas tree. As in, they are an EXACT match!

Three on the bottom, two in the middle row, and one pointing straight up for the point of the tree.

No need to fuss around trying to get the branches into a lovely tree shape. Just stamp the tree image, then stick the boughs over the top.

Coordination at its finest, and oh so clever.

This is the fabulous 20 piece Ready For Christmas stamp set and 20 piece Christmas Staircase thinlits, and it was my absolute joy to create with it in the weeks leading up to the Thailand Incentive Trip.

Christmas Staircase framelit dies. Includes 3 leaf dies and 2 branch dies, to reduce your operating time on the Big Shot.

    Beautiful stunning card. I spent over two hours on-line trying to find a similar card with a tutorial. However the only results that I achieved were double-vision and frustration, Many thanks for share with everyone.
