Home for Christmas DSP | The Maui Stamper

Forgive me if I bypass Halloween and Thanksgiving for a bit…I’ll be back, but the Holiday catalog has such beautiful Christmas things:

Stamps: None!!
Color Palette: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Mossy Meadow, GOLD
Accessories: Big Shot, Precision Base Plate, Christmas Greetings Thinlits, Very Vanilla 1 1/4″ Subtle Stripes Vanilla Ribbon, Home for Christmas Enamel Dots, Home for Christmas DSP, Banner Triple Punch, Glimmer Paper, 2 1/2″ Circle Punch

Yes I fussy-cut the poinsettia. It’s very forgiving.

Let me tell you about cutting out these words with the Christmas Greetings Thinlits and the Precision Base plate. The words pop right out of the Thinlit. There are no funny bumps from the holes meant to help you poke them out. The skinny bits don’t get twisted and pulled out of shape. You need this. I certainly do!

Shop HERE.

When I’m looking for a quick pop for a project I turn to Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper (DSP). The vintage-inspired designs in Home For Christmas are a perfect example:

Stamps: Cozy Christmas
Color Palette: Real Red, Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede
Accessories: Big Shot, Softly Falling TIEF, On Film Framelits (retired), Home for Christmas Designer Buttons, Metallic Gold Baker’s Twine, Home for Christmas DSP

Yes – that dear little deer is trimmed from DSP! Worth the time to fussy cut, too, because I’m not sure I could ever color an image that well!

And if you are looking for one more “perfect touch” check out these buttons. (Confession: It was something of a pain in the you-know-what to thread this Thick Baker’s Twine through the button, but I didn’t have my new Gold Cord yet so I persevered.)

Another example – same song, second verse! The entire focal point on this card was a mini-make-and-take we did at Convention. The regular Baker’s Twine is much easier to thread through the button. And that wide Vanilla Ribbon is luxurious.
