When you’re a crafter, there’s nothing more exciting than creating with brand-new product. During September of 2022, Stampin’ Up! is offering six, brand-new die cut sets that coordinate with current sets in both the Annual Catalog and the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. It’s called the Perfect Partners promotion, and it runs through September 30. See the graphic below for a look at the stamp sets and their new coordinating dies.
You’re able to purchase the stamp set separately, the die cuts alone, or both as a bundle (and save 10 percent).
Today, I’m sharing a card created with the Trimming the Tree Bundle. I love the dies. They cut the large tree, create two 3D-like trees, and give lots of options for decorating the tree with garland, stars, ribbons, baubles; there’s even a pot for the tree. And, the labels for the sentiments are unique.
This card also uses:
The Lights Aglow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper
Gold Foil
Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (the evergreen pattern)
Large label from Seasonal Labels Dies
Coordinating colors include Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, and Very Vanilla
Red Rhinestone Jewels

Making your own handmade Christmas cards just got easier with Stampin’ Up!’s Trimming the Tree Bundle. The Trimming the Tree stamp set was released in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. And, just this month, Stampin’ Up! began offering coordinating dies. Buy the Trimming the Trees Stamp Set and Tree Trimmings Dies as a bundle and save 10 percent. This special ends September 30 or while supplies last.
The dies cut the large tree, create two 3D-like trees, and give lots of options for decorating the tree with garland, stars, ribbons, baubles; there’s even a pot for the tree. And, the labels for the sentiments are unique.
I used the Soft Succulent pattern from the Festive Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper to create the above card.
In addition to the Trimming the Tree Bundle, look for five other brand-new, limited-time bundled sets.
From pigs to yetis and flowers, these new bundles offer a lot of fun choices for paper crafting with rubber stamps, ink, and paper.

Gingham Cottage for Fall
Quick and easy is often the answer when it comes to card making. It helps to make a stack of the same card and have them on hand when the need arises. I think today’s card fits that criteria well.
To create:
stamp leaf from Season of Chic stamp set with So Saffron ink on a So Saffron card base
stamp on a leaf from the Leaf Label and Amber Gem Pack (You may have missed these in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. The leaf comes in a package of 25 precut Kraft leaves and 50 gems.)
finish with a bow created with the Gold Shimmer Ribbon.
I also created a matching gift bag.
Thanks so much for visiting today and hopping along with Team Stamp It. Remember to visit all of the blogs. The list is below. Comment with the #hashtag #stampitcontest for a chance to win a Christmas Whimsy Kit.
