Hi there and thanks for stopping by today!
I'm sharing a Christmas Card today - cause you can never start too early, right?? - that features one of my most favourite colours - PINK! I love pink so much that my team of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators is called Pretty in pINKsters, which we often shorten to PIPs. Anyway, I digress...
Here's my card:
One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, in addition to the generous discount and commission, is the opportunity to order new products early! And for someone that's not skilled at delaying gratification, that's an amazing perk for me. We have our Holiday Mini Catalogue (called the July to December Mini) launching in August. I know that's confusing - it was supposed to launch in July but due to shipping delays related to Covid, the launch was pushed out to August, but demonstrators get to order during July. My preorder has arrived and I couldn't resist playing with some new product!
For my card, I started with a Sahara Sand card base. I chose this colour based on the pattern of Designer Series Paper I chose, which has Sahara Sand as a background. This paper is from the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper in our Annual Catalogue, it's currently on sale!
I wanted a softer look to the card, so I decided to add in Petal Pink and Soft Succulent as complementing colours. I embossed a panel of Petal Pink Cardstock using the new 3D Timber Embossing Folder (from the Holiday Mini). The gorgeous texture and detail created with this folder really adds to the card.
I stamped the pinecone, sprig and holly from the new Christmas Season Stamp Set and die cut and added them to the card. For the greeting, I used another new stamp set called Christmas to Remember, which has the cutest font and a variety of sentiments for all your Christmas crafting needs.
I added a piece of the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and some Champagne Rhinestones to embellish the card. It's a quick and easy card to make and the layout is one that can be used with all sorts of other cards!
You'll find a supply list below with all of the current product used on this card. The new holiday products are not yet available for purchase as a customer, but you can get them in your Starter Kit, if you'd like to join as a demonstrator this month! For more details on adding these to your starter kit, please email me at stampwithzahra@gmail.com and I can help!

Hugs,
Zahra
