Creative Inking December Blog Hop- New Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Sneak Peek!

Hi Friends,

Welcome to another month of the Creative Inking Blog Hop!! Are you ready for Christmas? I have not finished my shopping yet, and today is my brother and sister’s birthday (yes they are twins), so when I saw the theme for the month was our new Stampin’ Up! 2016 Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-Bration mini catalog- I knew I was going to feature their birthday cards! With birthdays so close to Christmas, they made their feelings known when they were small children- no Christmas colors or Christmas gifts for their birthday! I try very hard to honor that wish.

I used the new stamp set “Party Wishes” from our newest birthday suite!

First up is my dear sister Sue’s card- what do you think of the inside? I sponged a shape with the reverse piece from our label framelit. I think it makes the inside pop.

I went to another stamp set, “Going Global” for my inside greeting. I was looking for a masculine look for my brother Scott’s card. Love the world map as my background, that is from Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack! (those little stacks are so economical and great for making lots of cards!!).

So here are the new products I used for their birthday cards:
