One of the bundles in the Annual Catalog that immediately caught my eye was the Cuckoo For You Bundle. I love that it has an interactive mechanism and it's sooooo cute!!!! It's really easy to put together too. You can check out Stampin' Up!'s video here. The dies with this set are amazing too. I love all the details like the clock hands! So cute!!! I attached my clock hands with a brad so if you wanted you could move the time around.
The magic of this card comes when you push up on the center tab, the little door pops open!!! So amazingly cute!!! There's no shortage of what you can put in the door either! There's plenty of cute images and greetings in the stamp set that I didn't even tap into yet!
I stamped all my elements in Soft Suede Ink and used only Crumb Cake Blends and Soft Suede Blends to color my clock I wanted some nice brown, wood like textures, for this clock. I love how it came out. I love all the brown tones with the pop of Lovely Lipstick for the bird behind the door.
If you're looking through your Holiday Catalog (PS if you're in the USA and don't have one let me know. I'd love to pop one in the mail for you! Email me stamperrdn@q.com) you might have overlooked an amazing stamp set in very back of the catalog. The Nature's Beauty Set is amazing for a couple of reasons. First, the images are beautiful and just amazing on their own. Second, when you purchase this stamp set $3 of every sale goes toward mental health organizations. What great way for Stampin' Up! to give back and be a #sudifferencemaker I love that!!! Of course I had to have it!!!
I fussy cut the bunny for this card but he's pretty simple to cut out. I used Seaside Spray and Night of Navy for a beautiful color combo. I pulled out my Stitched Shapes and Stitched Nested Label Dies for beautiful layering. More new stuff from the Holiday catalog on this card are the ribbon and the greeting! The ribbon is the new Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon and it's soooooooo pretty!!!! The greeting is also new from the Itty Bitty Christmas Set. You can't purchase these items until September 4th unless you purchase the starter kit now and add them to your starter kit. You can learn more about the Starter Kit and join here.

I have beautiful card to share with you using our amazing Tropcial Chic Stamp Set and Tropical Dies. This set and dies have been around for a while and every year I break it out in the heat of the summer. It's the perfect summer set! I used lots of bright colors on this card. I paired Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo with some Crumb Cake. I love these colors together!
This card is pretty simple, I did step up those flowers with a new product from the Holiday Catalog. Our new Shimmery Crystal Effects. EEEEK I love it!!!!! It makes the flowers look like enamel accents. So pretty!!!!! The next couple of weeks my Facebook Live's will be all over the place. With the kids in school my Tuesday afternoon slot is becoming a challenge so I'll be transitioning to a morning Live video, I just haven't figured out when. Next week though, I'll be doing a special 2 part Facebook Live in my Ruth's Stamping Corner VIP Group on September 4th to kick off the Holiday Catalog. If you're not already a member of this group make sure you join there will be prizes and lots of fun!!! (Note: those videos will not be uploaded to YouTube. You'll only be able to watch them in my VIP Group.) For all the details on this card check out the video. Make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel and never miss a video.

If you've follow my blog you know that I LOVE non traditional colors for Christmas cards. My favorite color to use for Christmas cards is Melon Mambo. Sure enough every year I have to make a couple Melon Mambo cards. When I saw this Perfectly Plaid set in the Holiday Catalog, I knew I had Melon Mambo plaid trees in my future and I LOVE them!!! This set won't be available until September 4th but add it to your list now. How fun is this card?! I stamped the tree over and over again covering the entire background. Make sure some of your trees go off the paper, that gives you a more continuous look, similar to a piece of DSP. I just used a clear block and lined them up as best as I could. Since this set is photopolymer it's pretty easy to do. You could use your Stamparatus if you were worried about exact placement.
Melon Mambo and Silver Glimmer Paper are a match made in heaven. I used the Tree Punch that you can bundle with this stamp set and punched out a tree with our Silver Glimmer Paper. The greeting is from the A Wish For Everything Bundle in the Annual Catalog. It's such a great set to have, definitely a staple in my craft room. I layered the tree and greeting on a 2" Circle and Starburst Punch. So pretty!!! You can shop my Online Store here.
Last week I had the cutest card on my Facebook Live. Since I was smack dab in the middle of my Mini Curvy Keepsake Week it didn't get posted. By the way did you LOVE last weeks marathon posting?! I had so many to share and I knew if I did one a day we'd be here forever, so I sucked it up, sat at the computer and did a marathon blogging session. I had tons of fun and I loved sharing all those ideas!!! I can't pick a favorite!! I hope you can!
Back to the card. For my Facebook Live last week I focused on the super ADORABLE Dino Days Bundle. If you're passing up this bundle because you think it's only for kids you're wrong! Most of the cards I've made with this bundle have been for adults. The greetings are so cute and funny! Along with the Dino Days Bundle I used the Dinoroar DSP. So stinkin' cute!!! I threw in two new Holiday Catalog items in the card too. The Pool Party cardstock was embossed with the new Hammered Metal Embossing Folder, (don't forget to add on the new Embossing Plate when you purchase new 3D folders). Those awesome rhinestones are new in the Holiday Catalog too! You can't purchase Holiday Catalog items now unless you're a demonstrator. You can add them to your starter kit when purchasing the kit this month too! Join today!!! For the rest of the details on this card check out my video below. Shop my Online store here.

We made it to the end of the week, the end of the 13 blog posts! This has been a record for me!!! I have never blogged this much in one week!!! I hope you've enjoyed this peek into all the fun you can have with the new Mini Curvy Keepsake Box. Today I have one of the cutest samples I made. I love the colors I love how cut it is I just love it all!!!!! This cute camper is one of my favorites. I started with a Coastal Cabana box and added some stripes to the top of it using a Light Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blend. Of course this camper needed some silver panels on the side so I used some Silver Foil Paper. The wheels are made with the 1" and 1/2" Circle Punches. Once I attached the wheels I realized that it was going to need a hitch (is that what they're called?) I cut another box with Coastal Cabana and only trimmed off one of the sides with the slit. I attached piece of cardstock on the bottom to hold it up which made this little parked camper just the cutest thing ever!!! I love it!!!

This cute butterfly box is perfect for spring but it would also work great for a baby shower, bridal shower or birthday party favor. I cut 2 boxes one with Gorgeous Grape Cardstock and the other with a Gorgeous Grape pattern from the Brights DSP Pack. I punched 2 of the large butterflies in each color Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Purple Posy using the Butterfly Duet Punch. I cut each butterfly in half and adhered them together. Fan out their wings a little and attach them on either sided of the handle.
Tomorrow is the last day of our Mini Curvy Keepsake Box week! I have 2 cute projects left!!!!

This chick is so stinkin' cute!!!! The chick is made with So Saffron Cardstock. I used Pumpkin Pie Cardstock for his beak and feek. The beak is just a scrap piece of cardstock I trimmed into a triangle. His feet are made with the Medium Daisy Punch. I made his wings using the Perennial Flower Punch and just trimmed off each petal.

Start with a Whisper White Box and add some ears using the 2" Circle Punch. To create the ear shape punch one circle then feed the punched circle back into the punch slightly to create the ears. The eyes are made using the Circle Tab Punch, simply cut off the sides of the tab punch. The nose and blacks of the eyes were made using the 1/2" Circle Punch.

How stinkin' cute is this stacked snowman!!!! I LOVE him sooo much! To make him you'll need 3 boxes in Whisper White Cardstock. His buttons are the 1/2" Circle Punch, his carrot nose is the Christmas Bulb Punch and his hat is the Pretty Label Punch. That's it!!! To stack them I simply used a craft knife and cut a slit in the bottom of one of the boxes and slid the handle of another box into it. That's it!!! There's no adhesive, just a small slit and they stack and stay together perfectly!!!

These adorable reindeers are what started this whole thing. I had this idea one morning and while the kids were away I put it into action and created 9 adorable reindeers. They're all created the same so it was just a matter of mass assembly. Their heads are created with a new ornament punch in the Holiday Catalog. I simply trimmed off the top of the ornament. Their noses are 1/2" Circle Punch and their antlers are branches that come with the Mini Curvy Keepsake Dies. That's it!!! I added some bells to them, of course! I used googlie eyes for them cause it's so cute!
I ended up adding tails to them by trimming the middle out of the Everyday Label Punch. The reindeers are all cut out of Soft Suede and their antlers from Crumb Cake. I gave all but one an Early Espresso Nose. Rudolph of course has a Real Red nose.
After the reindeer were made I *HAD* to have a sleigh. So trial and error I ended up creating one I like. I created this free PDF tutorial on the sleigh. I love this project so much. I think it would be so cute on a holiday table, buffet or anywhere. You could fill the sleigh with candy or other treats then at the end of the night everyone could take a reindeer home. So cute!!!!!
Don't forget to check back tomorrow for EVEN MORE cute projects with the Mini Curvy Keepsake Die!
