Having an elegant packaging system for the holidays is always a bonus. I love to create my own for my friends and family. Sometimes the packaging is as important as the gift. It lets them know you care enough to add that special touch.

Is Christmas time here? It is at Stampin’ Up! with their new Christmastime Suite that will be available starting tomorrow. It’s a gorgeous suite with beautiful coordinating products. The gold items and paper are very elegant.
It’s a favorite of mine and I know you will love it too.
If you watch the video below, you can see all the specific products that are included with this suite.
One of my favorite features is the two different types of stamps. Cling stamps and photopolymer stamps. It’s great to have the option of two different styles with this suite.
Create a winter holiday scene with the Still Scenes Bundle from the Holiday Catalog. It will give you a chance to bring a special scene to life this winter.

Add confetti, fake snow, glitter or anything you can think of to enhance your card.
This bundle can also be used at other times of the year. Just choose your image for your scene and you have your inspiration.
