List of Holiday Catalog Products NOT Carried Over + Top 10 Holiday Catalog Projects

http://juliedavison.com/Flyers/2014HolidayCatalogNOTCarriedOver.pdf
If you received your Occasions Catalog in the mail already, you may have noticed a list of Holiday Catalog products on page 49 that are being "carried over" and will still be available this spring. Based on that list of what WILL be available, I created a list of products that will NOT be available.

One disclaimer: these products are not technically considered to be retired and may or may not appear in a future Stampin' Up! catalog or on the Clearance Rack. There is no guarantee that either or those will happen, so if there is something that you've been wanting on this list, I suggest buying it now! The Holiday Catalog ends January 5th, the day before Sale-a-bration starts, so don't wait to snatch up your favorite products before they are gone! Many of these items are already on sale in the Year-End Closeout Sale! See what's ON SALE.

Download and print the list of Holiday Catalog products NOT being carried over.

Here are some of my favorite projects featuring these products that will not be available after January 5th. Click on each photo to view the original blog post and project details.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Twist Box Tutorial

This was one of my favorite gifts that we made for the kids' teacher's during our 12 Days of Christmas gift-giving. I saw another "Rudolph the Red TOES Reindeer" on Pinterest and thought I would make my own version. I created a simply twist box (a.k.a. Sour Cream Pouch) and dressed it up with "antlers", eyes, and a sparkly red nose.
 Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Twist Box Tutorial #stampinup #christmas www.juliedavison.com
Inside the box, we put a bottle of red nail polish with a note: "On the Ninth Day of Christmas, [student name] gave to me...Rudolph the Red TOES Reindeer".
No matter how your dress up your box, the twist box is a quick and easy treat holder for any occasion. Here's how to make it:
5-1/2" x 6-1/2" Baked Brown Sugar
  • For this project, I used a slightly larger piece of cardstock to accommodate the nail polish bottle, but you can make this with a quarter sheet of cardstock: 5-1/2" x 4-1/4". Apply Sticky Strip to one short end and two long sides.





  • Remove the red liner from the Sticky Strip and roll the cardstock so adhere one short end over the other.



  • Close one end of the tube by creasing the sides and pushing them together. Fill with candy or a gift. Close the other end in the opposite direction as you did the first end.

  • Embellish as desired. I used the Gift Bow Die with Soft Suede cardstock for the antler and the 3/4" Circle Punch with Red Glimmer Paper for the nose. We had the googlie eyes on hand, but you can use circle punches (3/4" Whisper White and 1/2" Basic Black) instead.

Last Minute Gifts: Festival of Tree Gift Card Holder

I have just a couple more Christmas projects to share with you before we switch gears! Here is a project I created for Stamp Club last week. It's perfect for last-minute gift-giving and was our day 12 gift for the 12 Days of Christmas that we did for the kids' teachers.

We used the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlit die to make this gift card holder. Don't have the thinlit? Use your Envelope Punch Board to make a similar envelope size. See more Gift Card Holder ideas.

Control Freaks Tour: 2015 Occasions Catalog Sneak Peeks

Are you ready for some sneak peeks!? I'm so excited to participate in this month's Control Freaks Blog tour because we are showcasing projects featuring the 2015 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog Sneak Peeks! Whether you came from Wendy Weixler's Wickedly Wonderful Creations or you are just joining the fun, you're in for a treat! Make sure to hop all the through the tour to check out what we've created with all the great new products that will be available in a couple weeks! (The Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration promotion start January 6, 2015.)

I have heard from many of you that the Occasions Catalog is starting to arrive in the mail. If you are a customer of mine who has ordered in the last year or two, you should receive a copy in the mail! The Sale-a-bration brochure should be coming soon too! If you are not already working with another demonstrator would like to receive copies of the catalog, please contact me!

The first card I am sharing tonight is the one I designed for our team Christmas party last week. All of the make and takes were using new products. The stamp set I used is called Crazy about You and is probably known more for all the words that come in the set rather than the images. There are 33 stamps in this stamp set (on page 31 on the Occasions Catalog) and only three are not words!

The larger flower, stamped in Calypso Coral, coordinates with the new Flower Medallion Punch. I didn't think I needed a new flower stamp and punch combo, but I sure do love this one! The other flower in this set is a scallop flower, but I punched it out with the Petite Petal Punch to create a smaller center for the larger flower.

For the next card, I used the Butterfly Basics stamp set and coordinating Butterflies Thinlits (found on page 26 of the Occasions Catalog). I was so happy to see that the Butterflies Thinlits cut so well! Here are some tips to make these delicate designs pop right out:
  • Place the Thinlit on the magnetic platform with the cutting edge up and place the cardstock over it.
  • Use a layer of wax paper between the cardstock and the thinlit.
  • Crank it through the Big Shot twice: once and then back again.
When I did this, the butterfly popped right out! Perfection!

Stampin' Supplies: Butterfly Basics stamp set, Basic Black ink, Calypso Coral cardstock, Pear Pizzazz ink & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Best Year Ever Designer Paper, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Whisper White Cotton Ribbon, Tea Lace Doilies, Rhinestone Jewel Accents

The last card I kept clean and simple. I added black cardstock behind the butterfly die cut to make it pop, but I think I might like it better without it. After I glued it on the black cardstock and hand cutting around it, I wasn't about to take it off!

I really love the Butterflies Thinlits! If you look at the Thinlits (at the top of page 26), you'll notice that I actually cut the bottom pieces off of the die cut so that I could accommodate a greeting across the bottom of the card front.
