With the launch of the Stampin’ Up! July – December mini catalog, my thoughts turn to the latter part of the year and all things holiday – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. That’s why I couldn’t wait to start playing with some of the new holiday sets I ordered from the new mini. One of the hidden gems is the Handmade Wishes bundle on page 21. Not only does this bundle come with a gorgeous punch BUT is has sentiments for a “Happy New Year” card and, my personal favorite, separate to/from stamps. While this might not seem like a big deal – to me it’s a HUGE deal. I’ve always hated the “to/from” sentiments that come on one stamp – they are never appropriately sized or spaced to suit my needs. That’s why I am geeking out over this part of the Handmade Wishes Stamp Set.
This is the bundle my friend Patti Jean Warren and I are using for our Christmas in July Stampin’ Bingo event at the end of July (you can register for the event here) so highlighted the Handmade Wishes Bundle this week on my Facebook Live. As I always do, I did a simple stamping card and one for more experienced crafters. Check out the designs;
