Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for August 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects using our favorite Stampin’ Up! cutting tools. There are so many wonderful punches, framelits and edgelits available that help make papercrafting more detailed and fun! We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.
You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.
The card I put together for today’s hop quite simple makes me smile! Last Friday I received my Holiday Catalog Pre-Order and I couldn’t wait to get to my craft room and create! Stampin’ Up! put together an amazing group of products in the upcoming Holday Catalog, and today I am sharing some of them with all of you!
When I first saw the amazing Jar of Love Bundle I loved it myself, but it wasn’t at the tip top of my list. I was going to be patient and spread my orders over the next year. I was going to wait and order the Jar of Love Bundle during Sale-A-Bration. I was going to play with my other amazing new goodies before ordering another Annual Catalog bundle.
Can you guess where this is going? Well, I ordered the Jar of Love Bundle in my Demo Holiday Catalog Preorder last week. I was thrilled by two fabulous new stamp sets that will be coming with the Holiday Catalog and I simply HAD to get the Jar of Love Bundle NOW! With that being said, yes the first set I wanted to play with when my order arrived was the Jar of Cheer Stamp Set! The funny part? I used simple the jar lid and the jar itself. I had plans to use the other stamps in this set right away, but then this darling Gingerbread Man caught my attention.
The Holiday Catalog Bundle that I simply had to get asap was the Cookie-Cutter Christmas Stamp Set and Cookie Cutter Punch! This fabulous set not only comes with some simply darling sentiments as well as a ‘to’ and ‘from’, but it also includes five wonderful Cookies-Cutter characters!
These little Gingerbread Men came form my Cookie-Cutter Christmas Stamp Set that I easily punched out using the Cookie Cutter Punch. Included in this punch is not only the main shape for all of the ‘characters’, but also tons of accessories for them. I used the cute mini heart for the buttons as well as this little bow tie too! The best part about this punch is that not only is it offered with the Cookie-Cutter Christmas Stamp Set at a bundle price, but there is also a fabulous coordination Halloween themed stamp set too! I can’t wait to play with all of this again soon!
Now, you probably noticed a few other fun new products on this card, so let me tell you about those too. The bit of sparkle and shine that you see on this sweet Baker’s Twine is called the Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine. Not only does this Baker’s Twine come with the piece I used for today’s card with the metallic red thread throughout, but a solid Real Red Baker’s Twine is also included! Perfect for all your ‘Candy Cane‘ creations! Wait, ‘Candy Cane’ creations?! Oh! That’s right, ‘Candy Cane Lane’ is one of our fabulous new Suites of products! The little strip of Crumb Cake and Real Red Designer Series Paper with the cute little gumdrops is also part of this suite. The Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper is just too cute! These little gumdrops were the perfect backdrop for today’s card!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. I hope you came back again soon to check out what I share next!

Such a cute card, Jackie! Love the cute Gingerbread couple in the jars! That certainly brings a smile!
Adorable fun card, Jackie!
Adorable card, Jackie… just love the gingerbread couple. Glad you decided to go with the Jar bundle before SAB!!
A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I believe that you should write more about
this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally folks don’t discuss these subjects.
To the next! All the best!!
