Use those Christmas Supplies all year long!

Aloha, all!

Now that we’re getting so very close to Christmas, I was thinking that I’m about to say, "Goodbye," to all those wonderful products that I’ve been using the past few months for making Christmas cards and gifts.

NOT!!!

Here’s just one example of a project I just made that’s totally NOT Christmas, but makes use of not one, but TWO, of Stampin’ Up!’s products featured as holiday products. The Old Olive Designer Series Paper that forms the larger border for this card is from the set, Merry Moments. But it is totally not looking Christmas-y at all. And the Ornament Punch is a – VASE!. How cool is that!

I’m pretty much booked up for the next couple of days with activities related neither to the holidays nor to my paper crafting. But as soon as I get back into the Craft Room (hopefully Wednesday afternoon) I’m going to pull out some more of those holiday products and show how you can use them even after December is gone!

Oh, and the vase is made from Perfect Plum Textured Card Stock, punched with the ornament punch, with just a teensy bit sliced off at the pointed end. I wrapped the top of the vase with Linen Thread. The stamp is from the set, Eastern Blooms, one of my favorites for stationery sets.

If you’ve been thinking about making some last minute purchases from the Holiday Mini Catalog, you’ve just got a couple of weeks! Many of the products featured in the mini won’t be in any future Stampin’ Up! catalog. If you have any questions about anything in the Holiday mini, feel free to call (808.854.6145) or e-mail me, and I’ll either answer you right away, or get an answer for you as quick as I can!
