Jolly Holly Merry Christmas

This week, I’m playing with Stampin’ Up!’s Jolly Holly Bundle as part of my Christmas in July series. Find this bundle as one of Stampin’ Up!’s new Online Exclusive offerings. Click here to see what’s in the online store. You won’t find these items in any catalogs.

If you’re looking for a versatile set to get started creating your holiday cards, I feel this is an excellent choice. The Jolly Holly Bundle includes:

  • die cuts that coordinate with some of the stamped images as well as the embossed background.
  • a stamp set that lets you choose your own adventure; build your sentiments from a variety of word options.
  • 3D embossing folder sporting holly leaves and berries;

  • Crumb Cake cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Crumb Cake cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4, embossed with the Jolly Holly 3D Embossing Folder
  • Cherry Cobbler cardstock piece measuring 3 1/4 x 2, die cut with the largest stitched rectangle included in the Jolly Holly die cuts.

  • Holly pieces stamped with Memento and then colored with Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends

I swiped the blunt end of the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend along the side with the small white trim down the middle. Then, with a tissue, I gently swiped the ribbon in case there was ink left.
