When you are looking to create traditional and elegant Christmas cards, the Poinsettia Place Suite is one you’ll reach for year after year.
Special touches like the flocked vellum in the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (#153486), the dazzling Beaded Pearls (#153534), and the elegant Real Red Sheer Ribbon (#153535) make this suite stand out and shine. I also love that the Poinsettia Dies (#153522) have duplicates of several dies. That means when you stamp the layering poinsettia and leaf images from the coordinating Poinsettia Petals stamp set (#153475), you can save time by cutting out two of each at one time. We all love to save time!
From traditional colors to modern, monochrome elegance you’ll be amazed at all the different styles you can create with this suite.
Below, I’m sharing a tutorial that combines a bit of rustic charm with elegant gold and embossed accents. I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with this gorgeous suite!

When you think of Christmas what do you imagine? I don’t have visions of sugarplums dancing in my head, but I do picture reindeer, sleighs with bells, and a cozy home decorated with mistletoe, lights, and garland.
Christmas Mega Suite
You’ll find those traditional colors and iconic images of Christmas in the Wonder of the Season Suite. This mega suite includes two stamp and die combos, two Designer Series Paper choices, a Memories & More Card Pack with coordinating decorative Card & Envelopes, plus embellishments and ribbon to put the perfect finishing touches on your holiday projects.
Even a perfectly traditional stamp set can take on a modern flair when combined with non-traditional colors and layout. I think you’ll love the unexpected look of the trendy card I’m sharing in the tutorial below. Which style is your favorite traditional or non-traditional?

Now is a great time to make something adorable and make a difference! The Coming Home Stamp Set (#153500) is part of the popular Trimming The Town Suite and is the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog Making a Difference stamp set.
Making A Difference
When you purchase the Coming Home Stamp Set you’ll be a part of supporting adoption, foster care, and infertility charities. Stampin’ Up!’s Making A Difference Program will use $3 of every Coming Home Stamp Set sold (as a single purchase or part of a bundle) to help those in need. And what better time to give back than the Christmas season?
Bundle and Save!
As always, when you bundle the stamp set and the dies, you will save 10%. Use item #155144, and you will receive the Coming Home Stamp Set and the Home Together Dies.
Personally, I love how the Home Together Dies coordinate with both the stamps and the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (#153491). It makes is simple and fast to create layered scenes on card and decor projects.

SUPPLIES:
STAMPS Coming Home (#153500) *these coordinating stamps are optional for this project but are great for accents and coordination PAPER Old Olive (#100702), Whisper White (#100730), Poppy Parade (#119793), Bumblebee (#153077) TOOLS Home Together Dies (#153515), Paper Trimmer (#152392), Simply Scored Scoring Tool (#122334) ADHESIVE Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755), Mini Glue Dots (#103683) EMBELLISHMENTS All The Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack (#153541)
TIPS: You can make the house treat box longer to fit bigger candies or gifts. Keep the 1-1/4″ width the same and increase the 2-1/2″ length to your preferred size. The score lines measurements will remain the same at 1/8″ along the long sides and 3/4″ along the 1-1/4″ sides.
I’m often asked about the best all around stamp set or which stamp set a new stamper should start with. You know I love stamps, so I’d never say that there is one stamp set that covers all the bases, but the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog does have a stamp set is about as close as it gets. I think you’ll love the Celebrations Tidings stamp set that is part of the Plaid Tidings Suite.
If you are new to stamping, the Celebration Tidings stamp set is a great place to start since it has greetings and images that span the holidays and occasions from Autumn through to Valentine’s Day.
If you are an avid stamper, like me, you won’t want to overlook this gem. Add on the coordinating Celebration Labels Dies and Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and they’ll bring you tidings of joyful creativity. Heat embossing and coloring techniques are ideal for this suite!
The tutorial I’m sharing features an interchangeable, multi-season, decor frame. This frame would make an amazing gift. Who do you know that would love to display this in their home? I can think of a bunch of people on my gift list!
