Welcome to our first ever Pinkies Blog Hop. We’ll be showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin’ Up!® Autumn Winter Seasonal Catalogue.

For today’s hop, I took one sentiment, some designer series paper, cardstock and glitter
and made a set of 12 Christmas cards.
Cherry cobbler is a beautiful shade of Christmassy red, and embellishments were easy to make using the merry minis punch pack.
Next I used lucky limeade – almost traditional, but with a modern twist …
And for a completely modern look I used marina mist with very vanilla and whisper white …
beautiful blues with added dazzling diamonds and adhesive rhinestones for sparkle …
And finally, I used neutral colours, putting crumb cake with whisper white and very vanilla too …
with a splash of cherry cobbler here and there …
The patterns of the snow festival and festival of prints designer series paper complement each other beautifully, and the colours match and tone too, so both sets co-ordinate perfectly.
Here’s what you need to make today’s cards – all supplies from Stampin’ Up!
