Let’s Craft Together – Holly Jolly Branches

Thank you for joining us for the Let’s Craft Together blog hop. We are a group of multi-cultural Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship though our love of stamping and our admiration of each other’s style of crafting. Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a CASE the catalogue challenge and was set by Sharni Green.

Today I am CASE-ing the new catalogue. I paged through the catalogue a few times, and eventually decided on something that is not my usual CASE. I have taken the scrapbook layout on page 35 and made it into a card!

I have been working a lot with the Holly Jolly Branches bundle and the Whispering Woods DSP (which although not together in the catalogue are a perfect team) for the Avid Crafting Collective tutorial bundle. I of course, found those products in my hand to make my card. I hope that you can see the similarities between my card and the picture.

If this combination of products is talking to you and you would like the tutorial, you can find all the information about it here.

Hop around and see how the catalogue inspired the others
