November's NEW Online Exclusives

November's NEW Online Exclusive products are here and there are some amazing products that you will want to add to your craft stash!

The Hobby Haven Suite Collection includes products perfect for creating projects for those who love to slow down and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

The Creative Haven Bundle includes a stamp set with thoughtful sentiments to send a heartfelt greeting, and a set of coordinating label dies with accent pieces perfect for cards, tags, and adding interest to scrapbook layouts.

 

The Hobby Haven 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper features hobby-inspired imagery, with watercolour illustrations of all sorts of activities such as baking, reading, and sewing, and includes two sheets of precut pieces for quick crafting. With coordinating Earthy Matte Dots and Garden Green ⅛" (3.2 mm) Chevron Ribbon, your projects will always have the perfect embellishments.

 

The Banner Sayings Bundle includes simple but versatile sentiments that are sure to become indispensable in your crafting. Equally useful is the coordinating Three Banner Punch, whether used to create labels for your sentiments or used with DSP or cardstock to create backgrounds, layering elements, or accents for both cards and scrapbook pages.

 

The Lasting Linen Photopolymer Stamp Set is an easy way to add a textural element of woven linen to your designs, creating a subtle background with its delicate crosshatched pattern. This background stamp, like all new stamps from November's product release onwards, is photopolymer rather than cling following the decision by Stampin' Up! to discontinue production of cling stamps.

 

Just a reminder: the products in this Online Exclusive release will be the first to feature our newly redesigned packaging. Both photopolymer stamps and dies will come in sleeker and slimmer clear plastic envelopes that measure 5⅝" x 9" or 14.3 x 22.9 cm). Die packages will now also feature printed artwork for much easier identification and organisation, and the larger size will mean more stamp artwork can be shown at 100%. In addition, you can now purchase these clear, durable plastic envelopes separately in packs of 10 should you wish to switch your existing stamp and die sets to this new space-saving design.

 

These are only a few of the new products that are now available, and you can see the full range in the Online Exclusives section of my online store. Don't delay ordering if there's something you just have to have! Online Exclusive products are initially available while supplies last.

Creative Inspiration with a Sketch

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

This project combines the Christmas tree imagery in the Pine Tree Trimmings Bundle with Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler to create a classic Christmas card design. 
 

The fir tree image from the Pine Tree Trimmings Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped twice in the centre of a Basic White layer (4" x 5¼") using Garden Green Classic Stampin' Ink™. The solid tree image from the same stamp set was stamped on Garden Green cardstock, again using Garden Green ink, and cut out using the coordinating die from the Pine Tree Trimmings Dies.

Using additional dies from the same set, a star and two garland elements were cut from Gold Foil Sheets, and adhered to the die-cut tree. The tree element was then added to the centre of the stamped Basic White panel using Stampin' Dimensionals™

The sentiment was stamped on a 3" x ⅝" strip of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock using VersaMark™ Ink, and embossed using white powder from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder. The embossed strip was adhered across the top of the die-cut tree with Stampin' Dimensionals at each end.

White & Gold Baker's Twine was wrapped around the two opposite corners of the card panel, and tied in a bow at the top left corner. The completed panel was then added to a folded Cherry Cobbler card base. Iridescent Foiled Gems were added as the final embellishments.
