Sneak Peek at the Nests of Winter Suite Collection

 One of the major perks of being a demonstrator is getting to attend Stampin' Up! events that allow us to see and create with new products before customers have access to them.

These events are called Creativity Now and are held virtually.  During these events lots of product sneak peeks are shared from the next upcoming catalog.  The event I recently attended showcased product sneak peeks from the new September-December 2024 Mini Catalog.

During these events techniques and training are shared, as well as inspiration of ways to use the new products, as you craft together with fellow demonstrators from all over the world.

The Nests of Winter Suite Collection was highlighted in this Creativity Now event.  This suite includes the Wintery Tree Tops stamp set, the Wintery Tree Tops dies, Nests of Winter 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, Natural Tones Linen Thread, Earth Tones Shimmer Gems and the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder.

Below are the beautiful cards and gift card holder featuring the Winter Suite Collection that were made during the Creativity Now virtual event. The Winter Suite Collection will be available to customers beginning September 2024.

The bird and foliage were colored using Watercolor Pencils.  The die-cut top panel is one of the dies from the Wintery Tree Tops dies.

The birds and foliage on this card were also colored using Watercolor Pencils.  The foliage in the background was made by using the negative part of the top panel from the first card featured above and a Blending Brush.  This was one of the fun techniques shown during the Creativity Now virtual session.
Stampin' Blends and Color Lifter were used to color this card. Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls that were colored with the Bronze Stampin' Blends were added 
for accent.
Scalloped Gift Card Boxes were used to make this project along with the Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics.

Beach Day #2

This card was made using the Beach Day bundle and the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (DSP).

The card starts with a Boho Blue cardstock card base, followed by a Crumb Cake cardstock panel that has been embossed using the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

The scene in the circle is a piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP that has been cut out using one of the Encircled in Nature dies.

The sailboat and dolphins are from the Seaside Wishes stamp set and have been stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

The frame around the scene was cut out using Early Espresso cardstock and the Encircled in Nature dies.

The flowers and greenery at the bottom of the frame were cut out using Basic White cardstock and the Encircled in Nature dies.  Once cut out they were colored with Petunia Pop and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends.

The shells were cut out of Basic White cardstock using the Beach Day dies and then colored using Light and Dark Peach Pie, Boho Blue, Pretty in Pink and Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends.

The starfish from the Seaside Wishes stamp set was first stamped in Daffodil Delight ink onto Basic White cardstock and then stamped again using Cajun Craze ink.  Once stamped, the starfish was cut out using the coordinating die from the Seaside Wishes dies.

The sentiment is from the Beach Day stamp set and has been stamped onto Crumb Cake cardstock using Early Espresso ink.

Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls were added randomly to the card front for accent.
The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Beach Day Stamp set and has been stamped in Early Espresso ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock.

Crafting with You Birthday Card

This card was made using the Crafting with You stamp set along with its coordinating dies. The inspiration for this card came from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog on page 91.

I absolutely love how it turned out.

The card starts with a Pool Party cardstock card base.

The front panel was made using the retired Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper(DSP). I wanted the card to look like it was a quilt or that it had been sewn, and the Quilted Christmas DSP fit for what I needed perfectly.

The basket and the embroidery hoop were cut out using the Crafting with You dies and Crumb Cake cardstock.  The dies had been dabbed with Pecan Pie ink before they were used to cut out the hoop and basket.  The tension knob on the embroidery hoop was colored using a Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends.  Once dry, Wink of Stella was added to the tension knob.

The yarn was colored with Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Markers.  The knitting needles were colored using a Smoky Slate Stampin' Write Marker.

The flowers, from the Crafting with You stamp set, in the center of the embroidery hoop were stamped with Smoky Slate ink that had been stamped off once.  It was then colored using Balmy Blue and Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

The scissors were made using Pumpkin Pie and Foil cardstock. A silver brad holds the two pieces of scissor together.

The sentiment is from the retired Very Best Occasions stamp set and has been stamped in Melon Mambo ink.

The sentiment panel has a piece of Vellum adhered behind it.
Here's a look at the inside of the card.
