Favourite Holiday Project CTC209

Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week the design team are focusing on our favourite Holiday project. I'm sure if you love Stampin' Up! products, you will have a favourite project too.

So Santa was a last-minute purchase for me. In the end I couldn't resist, because he suits our Australian Christmas so well. I made a quick little decoration for the ever-handy Pizza Box, which has Christmas tea light candles inside. I based the colours on the decoration I found at my local supermarket - isn't he fun? 

My next task was to make 23 Christmas cards for the children in the classroom I work in at school. I began with stamping notecards. This is #simplestamping at its best. The sentiment is stamped below the image, to make simple one-layer cards.

Probably, I could have left them as they were, so the kids could colour them in, but I decided some minimal colour was called for. The watercolour pencils were handy to use, as I did it in odd moments between other chores this week. 

Then just because I couldn't leave them alone, I've stamped 'clouds' using a stamp from an upcoming stamp set called Geared Up Garage. Check your Occasions catalogue for that one and place your order from January 3rd.

The image on the Pizza Box was coloured using Stampin' Blends, but no matter what your favourite way to colour is, this So Santa stamp set is a good one to try. My preference is the clear mount stamps, which are $40 here in my online shop but because wood mount are being phased out, they retail for $37.80 and you'll find them in the Year-End Close-Out Sale.  This special ends January 2nd, in time for the Occasions Catalogue starting. If you do order through my Online Shop and remember to use the Host Code WAN2Q3HZ at checkout, you'll receive product in the mail from me.

Maybe you'd like to share your favourite holiday project too, and pop on our Facebook page.

Next crew member on the bloghop is the wonderful Rose Packer
