Let's Craft Together - Craft With What You've Got

Welcome to the monthly Blog Hop by Let’s Craft Together and thank you for joining us. 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.


The challenge this month is to create a project with a mash-up of current products and things from your stash that might even be retired. 

Apart from DSP, the things I have most of in my retired items stash are embellishments and they often coordinate really well with current products. For my project I have also used a retired embossing folder for the background and paired these retired items with brand new products from the upcoming September to December (Holiday Mini) catalogue. The new products are mostly from a suite called Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection which has stunning DSP, two stamp and die bundles as well as embellishments and ribbon!  The catalogue goes live on 5 September and there will be a link on my side bar. I love that this suite uses traditional Christmas colours, but also brings in blues and pinks, and adds non-traditional flowers to the stamped and DSP images. 

Time to hop on over and see how the rest of the team have met the Craft With What You've Got brief for this challenge. 

Happy Stamping
