Ornamental Envelopes and dies

The new Autumn-Winter 2020 mini is a Day old! The introduction of Stampin’ Up!’s new catalogue program, the new August-December 2020 Mini which has a longer lead in time to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope you approve the change!

For those of you who like to plan ahead, this is good news! I am kicking off with a look at the Ornamental Envelopes and dies which you’ll find on page 40. Although this was originally designed to use with envelopes, there’s so much more you can do with the stamps.

I’ve created a wreath with the help of the Stamparatus. When the Stamparatus was first launched, I created a template for stamping wreaths. Here is the link to the video I published in June 2018 on my YouTube channel to create the template https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVU3wiA-rEU. It’s certainly a time saver with perfect results every time. I’m all for saving time!

You’ll also need some scraps of Cajun Craze, Bumblebee and Pumpkin Pie for stamping and punching the other elements.

For easy reference, I’ve included the measurements I used for my card layers.
