Holiday Mini Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Addicts’ Holiday Mini Blog Hop, where we will be featuring a variety of the new products in Stampin’ Up’s Holiday Mini Catalog! You may have arrived from Trina’s blog, where she shared the super cute Festive and Fun, or you may be starting here. The blogs connect in a circle, so either way you’ll get to see them all! I am excited to show you some of the great digital downloads that are available in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Each of these have actual paper versions as well.
The first download I want to show you is the Pick Your Poison Embellishments. There is also a coordinating Piece of Poison Stamp Brush Set, though I didn’t use it. This download comes with labels and borders. I used two of the border strips to create the background of this page, and a third one around the edges to frame it. There are both blank labels, and ones already filled in. I used one of the blank ones below the photo.
My next project features the digital version of the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper. You may have noticed that Trina used this in the blog hop banner and buttons as well. It is a beautiful paper set, with a soothing fall feel to it. For this project I created a Thanksgiving Menu that you can be proud to display on your holiday table. If you wanted to make this in a hybrid version, you could use the actual Pool Party ribbon instead of the digital version. Because you can choose which part of the Designer Series Paper shows through the punch, both Trina and I were able to fill our punch with the flower image! It was a quick and easy wow!
My final project uses the Digital Version of the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper. This would be great to use for your Christmas Cards with the family photo! I love the quilt-like quality of the designs, as well as the wood ones, so I combined these into a patchwork scrapbook page.
Want to see all of the digital downloads? Come by after the Mini catalog goes live on September 1st and I’ll post them here for you. Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this look at three of the Digital Downloads. Now it is time to move on to Debra’s blog where she will be showing you the beautiful single stamp, Leaves of a Tree.

















Love all of these! My favorite is the Frostwood Lodge page, but that could be because I live in the Northwoods
And would you look at that ripple effect on the Halloween page?! Amazing!
I love all your digital designs!! Too cute and very creative!
Yapha, these are awesome ideas, and I particularly like the covered bridge page with the Frostwood Lodge patterns. Great ideas for these designs. Great job on the menu, too.
Love them all but especially the Thanksgiving Menu. (But I’m mostly just partial to Spice Cake.) Thanks for sharing them with us on the blog hop and mostly for being the blog hop queen!
Awesome projects, Yapha! Love the menu and the covered bridge page.
What a great idea to use it for the family menu! Will definitely case that idea.. unless I can come eat at your house? The food on the menu also sounds yummy! lol
I love your scrapbooking, Yapha!
Great projects, Yapha! I really need to learn how to use MDS so that I can make these great projects too!
You’re my MDS inspiration! BTW, I’ll be at your house for Thanksgiving ….
Love what you did! I’ve got to go re-learn how to use MDS. Love the tip about being able to choose which part of the paper shows through the punch!
I love these projects! MDS Queen!
I love those scrapbook pages – it always so much fun to see what you come up with. Thanks for the great ideas.
Wonderful pages!! Great work with MDS! I’ll be by on Thanksgiving for some butternut squash soup

Love the Halloween page!
Great pages! I really like how you used the borders for the background paper on the Halloweenpages.
Beautiful projects! What a GREAT idea to use borders to create a background– I will have to try this!
Awesome projects! Great way to showcase the MDS!! Love your Halloween page!
Fantastic work, Yapha! What fun your library must be…lucky students! The menu is so smart. May be CASEing that one!
