Stuck for ideas?  Feeling a little uninspired?  Have I got a tip for you!  When my creativity has taken a hiatus, I turn to the inspiring project ideas in our lovely Stampin' Up! catalogues.  I either take bits and pieces of ideas to create a card or do what I did for this project and recreate it in full.

I had so much fun recreating this card from page 24 of the mini catalogue and it filled my creativity tank when I wasn't feeling very creative.

Bundles: Leaves of Holly Stamp Set + Holly Berry Dies (photopolymer: 159608).  Ink: Evening Evergreen (155576), Soft Succulent (155778), Sahara Sand (147117).  Card/Paper: Soft Suede (119982), Basic White (159228), Basic White Thick (159230), Boughs of Holly 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (159600).  Accessories: Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130), Baker's Twine Essentials Pack (155475).  Tools: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (149653), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (1100755), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (144108).

I began by pulling out all the products in the Boughs of Holly Suite and found the fabulous birch-patterned paper in the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper and cut it down to a 10 cm or 4" square for this card front.  Onto that, I added all the festive stamped and die-cut imagery from the Leaves of Holly Bundle.  I didn't have the Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins that the original sample showed, so I substituted that bling for Iridescent Rhinestones.

Love what you see?  Is there a project from the Stampin' Up! catalogues you want to reproduce?  Reach out to me if you need any help with figuring out colours or stamps used on a project or would like some help on how it was created.
