Ok. Don’t get too upset with me.
I know most of you aren’t ready to be thinking about candy canes or the Sugar Plum Fairy, not to mention the dreaded ‘s’ word.  (Shhh… it’s snow.)
But Stampin’ Up! is releasing their Holiday Catalogue tomorrow. That’s September 5^th. And well. I cannot help but share some of the cute items inside! Let’s start with this simple watercolour card showing off that beautiful deer.
I mean.
How gorgeous is that? You can create tags with this little guy alone. Stamp “To: and From:” on the back, add a little string and you’ve got yourself a holiday tag!
You can find these die cuts and coordinating stamps from the Dashing Deer Bundle. The next two cards are a slightly stepped up version of the clean and simple card above; however, it includes pieces of patterned paper from the “you gotta see it, to believe it” Frosted Floral Speciality Designer Series Paper. Every square inch of this paper will have you gasping. It’s silky and shiny with gorgeous patterns and colour combos. I promise this paper will not disappoint. The best thing about it is that it’s not just for the holidays – use this paper all year around!
Check out the images below created by the Creative Teams at Stampin’ Up! By creating a watercolour background with a touch of your favourite refill ink and an aqua painter, you can make any die cut pop off the page. Keep that in mind next time you can’t get enough of a die cut. I can’t wait to show you more!!! Can you hear those jingle bells ringing?
Thank you so much for dropping by today.  As always, feel free to share your projects with Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and me!
