Welcome to our West Coast Creator Blog Hop for August!! There are so many great new sets in the new mini catalogue that it was hard to choose. I hope you get some great ideas
from all the creations from our wonderful team!
I chose the Gift Wrapped Bundle as my feature from the new mini catalogue on Page 12. I tried to make cards from this bundle that were not only for Christmas but could be used as general birthday as well - cards for men too!!

I thought this was a neat way to use the ribbon for a birthday card. I just punched one out of the DSP and then one out of Mossy Meadow to go behind it. I like to be able to use what I purchase all year round. The DSP is from the Ornate Garden DSP on Page 65 in the main catalogue. I thought the Dandelions 3D embossing folder looked nice in the middle.

This is a Christmas card which I kind of cased from the catalogue itself on page 72. You will find all kinds of great card ideas in Stampin' Up catalogues. They had made a box and I took their idea but made a card using Garden Green and the Pointsettia PLace DSP on page 15.
There are lovely stamps in the Gift Wrapped stamp set that comes with this bundle. They make a nice background instead of using DSP. The sentiment is from that stamp set as well. I coloured the bow using my Highland Heather Stampin' Blends. I punched out some sprigs with vellum to put behind the bow with my Sprig punch. The gold metallic trim is from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.
