Whoop! Whoop! New 2023 September-December Mini launches today! Are you excited? It was hard to choose just which Suite to use for launch day so I thought I’d take my cue from the catalogue cover. The projects on the front cover is from the Joy of Christmas Suite collection which you’ll find on pages 28-31.
I’ve already shown you a couple of sneak peeks and I hope that’s piqued your interest. There’s plenty to choose from, not just for Christmas, some new gorgeous Autumn offerings, Halloween stuff for those of you who are fans, an array of new punches bundled with stamp sets, and the usual stamps + die bundles to whet your appetite. There’s something for everyone and I particularly love the fonts they’ve chosen for some of the stamp sets.
Joy of Noel Bundle
The Joy of Christmas is one of the larger Suite Collections because there are two bundles in the Suite. Joy of Noel and Classic Christmas. The Joy of Noel features a die that cuts out the NOEL Letters arranged in a square.
It features a stamp that spells NOEL in a square and dies which compliment it. The images are more traditional, with a sprig of holly and pines slightly curved so that it’s suitable for stamping and die-cutting shapes to make a wreath.
Classic Christmas Bundle
This set has some lovely fonts and individual components to build a floral arrangement with the coordinating dies. The dies frame the sentiments for both sets and work well together. Shh….I’m guilty of only initially getting this Classic Christmas Bundle and nothing else. On reflection, when I looked at how well they worked together, I placed another order and got the Joy of Noel Bundle and the rest of the suite with the embellishments and patterned papers as well. I’m so glad I did, because I’ve totally fallen in love with it.
In my video tutorial, I’ve opted for the clean and simple cards because if you have a lot to make, you want them to be quick and easy, but still capture a bit of a wow factor. The other factor to consider is the cost of postage. I have a lot to send to family and friends overseas, so the less layers incorporated in the design, the better.
I’ve concentrated on the Classic Christmas one today, but will certainly revisit the Joy of Noel during my annual 12 week Christmas Countdown Series which will begin in the last week of September.
