As always, the summer months fly by so quickly! My kids are starting school soon and I think it's safe to say that September will be here and gone before we know it! Since time seems to go at warp speed at this time of year, it is a good idea to get a head start on your holiday crafts! This is when the Stampin Up 2017 Holiday Catalogue comes to the rescue! These new products will be available on September 1st! Make sure to check back for the PDF version of the catalogue on Friday!

Here is a peek at some of the new products you will find in the Stampin Up 2017 Holiday Catalogue!

These new Mini Pizza Boxes are so cute and so versatile! They can be used to make Thanksgiving hostess gifts- filled with mini 3"x3" cards or fill it with candy or chocolate for a sweet gift.

Stampin Up has 3" square mini envelopes in the Holiday catalogue too! Now you can make mini cards and not worry about making your own envelopes!

These Mini Pizza Boxes can also be used for Halloween treats or cards and of course they are perfect for Christmas gifts too! Think card sets for teacher gifts or add an ornament inside and decorate the top of the box for a special gift. You could even add a gorgeous locket inside these boxes and customize the lid for your recipient.

These are some 3"x3" cards made with the new Merry Cafe stamp set which also coordinates with the Coffee Cups Framelits dies.

Today's card is a simple, stamped one layer card using the Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set from Stampin' Up's NEW 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue. I just love the look of the half embossed card front and it really makes for an easy to put together card.

How To Make This Hand Stamped Card:

All you need to make this card is some Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, cut and scored for your card size. I ran the bottom half of the cardfront in the Big Shot in the Layered Leaves 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Then, with Basic Black ink, stamp the branches and butterflies from the Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set. Color in the images using an Aqua Painter and ink pads. I used Crushed Curry, Tranquil Tide and Chocolate Chip ink.

With Tear & Tape Adhesive, adhere the Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon to the top of the embossed section.

Stamp the greeting from the Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and punch it out using the Classic Label punch. Use a few Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere it to the cardfront.

Finally, add a few Crushed Curry colored Glitter Enamel Dots to finish off the card.
