Holiday Creations Triggered By the 2017 SU Catalogue

Holiday creations for Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas are coming to a catalogue near you. Yes, it’s that time again when we start to plan for those holidays.  What better way to plan than to see holiday sneak peeks.

As we get ready for fall and thanksgiving, the Painted Autumn suite will be first on your list.  The Painted Autumn stamp set, the Leaf Punch, and the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper will trigger your creative juices.

When I first saw this suite, I just new that it was on my “must have” list.  The designer series paper display all our favourite fall colors, such as Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, and Tangerine Tango.  Fussy cut the brilliant sunflowers, and pumpkins and use just as they are on any of your greeting cards.

The images look like watercolor.  Stamp the sunflower and/or the leaves in 2 different shades of one color and see them come to life.
