I absolutely love the black, white, and gold papers in this collection. One side of the Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper features modern black and white designs, while the other side includes stunning gold foiling. Add a dramatic pop of bold colour to the black and white, and it truly makes your project shine! โจ
This particular card design was inspired by one I saw on Instagram, originally created by Sonja Mehl. Iโve adapted her measurements slightly to suit our standard card sizes.

Weโre a group of Australian Stampinโ Up!ยฎ Demonstrators who have joined forces to share our passion for papercraft and inspire creativity in your craft space.
Whether youโre a seasoned stamper or just starting out, weโre so glad youโre hereโand we hope youโll find fresh ideas and creative sparks to fuel your next project!
What to Expect
Each month, we explore a new creative theme or fun challenge, bringing you a variety of styles and techniques to try. Thereโs always something new to learn and love!
The challenge this month for the Letโs Craft Together Blog Hop is by Nancy and I am using the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper by Stampinโ Up!ยฎ.
The challenge Guide: Use products from your stash (maybe ones that are feeling a bit neglected) and create something new and on trend by combining it with a select few new items. The aim of this challenge is to show you can create exciting cards with old products
Nests of Winter
The Nest of Winter Designer Series Paperfirst appeared in last yearโs Mini Catalogue, and I was so happy to see it carried over into the current Annual Catalogue. Since this challenge is all about using products that may be retired or sometimes forgotten, I thought it was the perfect excuse to pull it out of my stash and create a card with it.
The challenge was to combine something from your stash that maybe a little forgotten with something NEW! โจ For my card, I paired the Nest of Winter DSP with the pine tree branches from the Christmas Greenery Bundle and a label from the Traditional Labels Bundleโboth are part of the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection. To finish it off, I added a sentiment from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera, which tied everything together beautifully.
These new products will be available in the SeptemberโDecember Mini Catalogue, open for orders from 3rd September.
Other Products and Tips
Sentiment has an adhesive backing- remove the sticky by pouncing the Embossing Buddy on the sticky side. Then add mini dimensionals to adhere to your card front and give lift over the branches.
Bird was fussy cut from the DSP and added with dimensionals.
To give some some bling to the finished card I added the clear & gold gems from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escapeโI’m so happy you’ve stopped by.
On โLive with Micheleโ I created another card using the Jolly Holly Bundle by Stampinโ Up! ยฎ.
Having another play with the Jolly Holly Bundle! For this card, I used the coordinating die from the bundle that partially cuts the holly, allowing the petals to be lifted and layered over the frame for added dimension. The holly is coloured with Stampin’ Up!ยฎ Watercolor Pencils and blended using the Colour Lifter from the Blends range. The frame is from the Beautiful Motifs die set and perfectly highlights the holly detail.

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escapeโI’m so happy you’ve stopped by.
๐ฅ On yesterdayโs โLive with Micheleโ, I created this festive card using the Holly Jolly Bundle by Stampinโ Up!ยฎ. Itโs full of classic Christmas charmโwith just the right touch of sparkle to make it shine!
To add a bit of festive shimmer, I used Metallic Enamel Effects, lightly applied to the embossed holly using a dauber. This gave the card subtle texture and a gorgeous glimmer that catches the light beautifully.
I also used the coordinating dies to cut out the stamped images and added some dimension to bring everything to life.
๐บ Missed the live? No worriesโyou can catch the replay and see the step-by-step process! ๐๏ธ Love this bundle? You can shop the Holly Jolly Bundle now in the Online Exclusives section.

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampinโ Up!ยฎ Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.
Our theme this month for the Letโs Craft Together Blog Hop is a โColour Challengeโ by Monique and I am using the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle and Peaceful Season Bundle by Stampinโ Up!ยฎ.
Winterly Tree Tops & Peaceful Seasons
I had a lot of fun creating this card, using some techniques I hadn’t used before. I have had the Pearlized Enamel Effects and the Matallic Enamel Effects in my stash for a little while but had never pulled the out to use until now.
My “TIPS’
When using the Enamel effects and mixing with water etc, mix them on an old piece of plastic you can throw away. i used a block and could only clean with a piece of steel wool.
When do the splatters have some scrap paper underneath your work. I now have splatters on my glass mat and not sure I want to put steel wool onto it…..May just live with it like it is.
Card Front– Adhere the matted card front to the card base.
Wreath – Attach the 2 coloured and die cut wreath pieces to the card front, leaving approx .5cm (ยผ”) in between the pieces.
Christmas sentiment – Remove the backings from the dimentionals and attach the Christmas across the middle of the two wreaths.
Merry Sentiment– add a mini dimensional in the middle of the banner, add a small amount of liquid glue under the ends of the banner and attach above the Christmas sentiment.
Leaves – Adhere 3 leaves at the top and 3 leaves to the bottom of the wreath, sitting diagonally from each other & tucking them under the wreath.
Sentiment sentiment in the middle using the Pretty Peacock Ink
Adhere the card insert to the Moody Mauve card insert mat.
Adhere the matted insert to the inside of the card base.

We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.
Our theme this month for the Letโs Craft Together Blog Hop is a โSketch Challengeโ by Maheswari and I am using the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs, Joyful Images & Joyful Sayings by Stampinโ Up!ยฎ.
Joyful Images & Joyful Sayings
I have created this simple and easy Christmas card using Maheswari’s sketch and the Mix and Match Ephemera packs from the Stampin’ Up!ยฎ Sept- Jan 2024 Mini Catalogue. I have used the A Little bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, which also comes with some of these same ephemera pieces.
Why didn’t I use the elements from the Specialty DSP?
The answer to that is…I’ve used them up. There is also more choice in the Mix & Match packs, they all work together and are great when creating on the go.
