Welcome to the Stampin’ Addicts Holiday Catalog Blog Hop!! We are celebrating the amazing Holiday Catalog and I know you will be so inspired by everyone’s projects. I am first so I’ll try to start you off with a sparkly holiday celebration. If you started somewhere in the middle, you came over from Tanya’s Tinkerin’ In Ink and I know you were wowed by her creativity with Wonderfall! That bag, the candles and, of course, the card…amazing! My set for today is Snowflake Soiree. It was the very first set I wanted from the Holiday Catalog and I think it is beautiful! I hope you love my projects (and you can click on any of them to see them larger).
I thought it would be fun to make a gift set so I created a card, the altered paint can and some tags. I have to say that the beautiful sparkle off this set just cannot be completely photographed.
This card is embossed using Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and then brayered using Midnight Muse. Shimmery White Paper provides a subtle bit of extra shine in the background. Rhinestones top off the snowflakes perfectly, don’t you think?
This little paint can was altered using Silver Shimmer Paper, Midnight Muse and Whisper White. I came upon a happy coincidence while making the little tag and found that the snowflakes from the new Snow Flurry Die coordinate with the stamp. I love how Stampin’ Up does this!!
Finally I created some fun and quick tags to put in the little paint can (along with some holiday treats). These are so quick and easy! They are also created using Shimmery White Paper for a bit of extra shine and a Basic Rhinestone finishes it off.
I’ll be back over the next week with details on each project. For now, make sure you move on over to Sharon’s blog, Created by You, to see her projects made with Joyous Celebrations. You’ll be so impressed with the different looks all from one set! Enjoy the hop!!

Beautiful projects Jen. Love how they all go together and I can just imagine how shiny and blingy they are IRL from your descriptions. Love them!
Hi Jennifer,
It’s beautiful!!! Great job. Nice color coordination.
Last year you made me get Bright Hopes and here you go again this year… You are tough on my budget woman! 🙂 Gorgeous projects!! I love them all!
Gorgeous gift set!! I LOVE your use of the big clear buttons! Lovely brayering and the paint can is so cute!!
I would never have guessed that you brayered that card – these projects are stunning. I might have to case the card for my personal holiday cards!!

Wow… fabulous coordinated project and gift! May have to case this one, LOL… after I buy the stamp!
OMG How beautiful your snowflakes are. I love all your projects. And I love the Besty’s Blossoms card. I can never get tired of that little bird. Thank you for your kind comments on my FMS card. Hugs, Bev
The colors are so crisp and vibrant. Thanks for the idea…this could be used in so many ways with other DSP….what a challenge for us all….
Love, love love !!!
What beautiful projects!! I love the paint can!!
Beautiful card and projects, Jennifer! What a great tag, too!
Beautiful Set of Projects–I’d love to give or receive these!
*Swoon!* I LOVE snowflakes, and I LOVE shiny things, and blue is my favorite color, so combining them all just makes my heart go pitter-pat! I know the photos don’t do your projects justice because they can never capture the glittery glamor of the glimmer paper. (Awesome alliteration, eh?) 😀
Oh my goodness …. this is awesome, what a fabulous package! What a fabulous stamp set ….mmmm
Lovely projects Jen. Really gets me int he holiday mood.
