Craft Haul: Stampin’ UP Holiday 2014 and Cards!

Eek! Halloween just ended…which means that Holiday crafting is in full swing! For those of us who make our own Holiday Cards, it’s time to get cracking. For me, that means doing some playing experimenting with different designs to see which one will actually “make the cut” and become the holiday card for the season.

I recently got a nice box of the Stampin’ UP holiday product to work with, and in this video I’ll share with you the items I received AND some of the sample cards I made.

Let’s take one more look at the holiday cards I made.

Vote for your favorite! And I'll even do a tutorial for the winning card.

Vote for your favorite! And I’ll even do a tutorial for the winning card.

Care to vote for a winner?

How about this- leave me a comment telling me which card you like the best, and I’ll chose one comment at random and send you five thank you cards made in that same style? That way you can send out lovely thank you cards after the holiday season is over!

I’ll keep the comments open until November 10, 2014 so that you all have time to decide- and I have time to get my cards made.

Thanks for being here!

  1. I liked the one with Joy. It was elegant and looked like it could be mass produced quickly. I loved all of your designs!!

  4. I love the Festival of Trees card the best! Those colors are awesome together! Also, on the card with the “merry” stamp, embossing it on vellum is so pretty! On the trees and merry cards, is the background made from paper in the seasonal pack you showed in the video? Such pretty colors and I love the subtle design!

  6. Can’t decide which set of stamps is my personal favorite, but, the Festival of Trees card is beautiful!!

  7. I had a hard time choosing between the Joy and Festival of Trees cards. They are all so pretty! I’m going to choose the Trees because I love the frosty, wintry color scheme. Also there is more going on on that card, and more is more, ya know?? Gotta love bling!

  9. Of the 3 in the still shot, I like the “Joy” card the best, but of all the cards made, I like the feather card with the notebook paper. What a nice bundle of SU products!

    Enjoy! (Please if I would be drawn, let someone else win, I just wanted to participate in the conversation.)

    Blessings!

  13. Hi! Of the Christmas ones, your favorite is also mine. Love those colors! In general, the feathers are my favorite favorite! ????. Nice job btw!

  14. When I first looked at the three finished cards, I was undecided between the wreath or the trees. I really do like the wreath, but the trees win out, mostly because of the way you designed the card beautiful job. Thanks for the inspiration.

  19. All 3 are wonderful but I think the Festival of Trees card is my favorite. It has so much going for it and the colors are just cool. Thank you for sharing,

  20. Hard to pick but I guess my favorite is the first one; thanks card. Thanks for the giveaway and showing us some of the new stuff.

  21. Oops, guess I misunderstood your giveaway. I see now that you are trying to decide which card to make for your holiday card. My favorite of the three is the tree card.

  23. Love them all, the most practical one (for mailing and mass producint) is the ‘Merry’, but my REAL favourite is the one with the trees. I love those colours too.

  24. WOW Jenny what awesome cards I love all the different ideas you came up with hmmm tough choice but since I do have to made a decision here…I’ll choose the trio of trees. Thanks for an awesome giveaway chance. YOU ROCK!!

  27. I love them all, but I especially love the “Merry” one because is a bit different from the traditional ones, it is original and fancy, I love the brightness in it. Then I like the wreath card, because it is a beautiful image and I love the classic color scheme, and the one I like less (but I still like it a lot indeed) is the trees one because to me it seems like a less unusual card and looks like some other card I may have seen before.

  29. Hi, Thanks for the giveaway. My favorite one is the trees. Your cards are so pretty !!!! Thanks

  30. Thanks for the giveaway! all the cards were lovely but my favorite was the ‘merry’ card. Love the cas style and this was an awesome example of this. Love it!

  32. Awesome cards! My favorite is also the trio of trees card. The color palette is just perfection!

  34. Trees – hands down! I love the embossing you did on the trees. That really gives them the WOW factor.

  36. I love the “JOY” wreath!!! I lost my mom, suddenly, in Jan. This is first of the holidays without her. It’s hard to keep things the way she did them, but we are trying!!! She loved wreaths. She had them for every season, theme and holiday. They hung on doors, walls and windows. Inside and outside. Large, small, cheap & expensive. It’s just her!!!
