Joy of Noel Bundle Archives - Kim Plays with Paper

Brewed for You Holiday Spirits

When you sit down to create a handmade greeting card, do you feature just one stamp set? Or do you mix and match? Normally, I like to work with just one set. I love seeing all of the different ways I can use the images and the sentiments. But, other times, it’s fun to dig into the stamp stash and have some fun.

Today, I show a card created using Stampin’ Up!’s Joy of Noel stamp set from the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog in conjunction with the Brewed for You stamp set and coordinating Brewed Dies found in Stampin’ Up!’s 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. (Please note: The Joy of Noel stamp set is retiring and is available while supplies last. If you like it, purchase it sooner rather than later. I don’t want you to be disappointed if it sells out. Click here to visit Stampin’ Up!’s online store to see which products from the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog are being retired. Some are discounted up to 60 percent off.)

I think it’s fun to pair the drink glasses in Brewed for You with the Joy of Noel’s sentiment “Making Spirits Bright.”

Do you love to color your stamped images? Or do you prefer not to color stamped images? I’m usually in a hurry to make a stack of quick and easy cards, so I stay away from coloring. But, today, I show you a fun and beautiful coloring technique perfect for use with Stampin’ Up!’s Joy of Noel Bundle. Find it in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. If you love this bundle, be sure to grab it. It’s being retired and won’t be available much longer.

Stampin’ Up! offers so many ways to color images — from Stampin’ Blends to Watercolor Pencils to Blender Pens and more. But did you know you can watercolor with the Wink of Stella pen? This accessory is generally used to sparkle and shine to projects. Be sure to watch the video below to see exactly how I watercolor with Wink of Stella to create this gorgeous handmade Christmas card. (The picture doesn’t adequately show the shimmer of this beautiful card, so be sure to try it yourself.)
