November Holiday Bundle Blog Tour

Welcome to the Blog Tour for November presented by RemARKable Stampers. We'll be focusing on the money-saving Bundles being offered by Stampin' Up! with our blog tours this year. This month we are all focusing on one of the Bundles in the amazing Holiday Catalog. There are plenty to choose from, so you're going to see lots of variety.

I decided to focus on the Flurry of Wishes Bundle on page 25 of the Holiday Catalog. This pretty bundle includes the Flurry of Wishes Photopolymer Set and coordinating Snow Flurry Punch. I really love the sentiments included in this set.

My first card is a very simple one using just the one sentiment from the set and some gold embellishments.

For this next card, I embossed the snowflakes on a Wisteria Wonder circle using the White Stampin' Emboss Powder and then rubbed some Wisteria Wonder Ink onto the images to make them really pop.

I love being able to use only portions of the one sentiment by inking up only a portion of the stamp or by cutting it out. For this card, I inked up the whole stamp and stamped it, but then cut out only the word "Peace" using the smallest Bitty Banners Framelits. I outlined the cut out with the Pool Party Marker to hide any stray ink from the rest of the sentiment.

The Flower Medallion Punch in the big catalog also coordinates with this set. It punches out the smaller of the single snowflake images. I used only a portion of the one sentiment again by carefully inking up only the top of the stamp on the ink pad. I also embossed one of our wooden Snowflake Elements with some Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder so it would have some sparkle.

For my final card, I used only a portion of the one sentiment by carefully inking up only the bottom on the ink pad. I paired this perfect sentiment with the Every Blessing Stamp Set.
