Delightfuls
Some new Stampin’ Up! products arrived this week! Of course, I had to play!
This is the new set called “Delightful Decorations”. There is an ornament punch, too, which makes it so easy and so fun to decorate! I also used the new Sizzlits Merry Details die for the snowflakes. The DSP is also in the new SU! Holiday Mini Catalog available September 1st.
Since it’s still August, I thought it might be fun to see if I could turn this Christmas set into something that could be used right now.
So I made a flower with one of the ornament stamps! Too fun! I sponged around the “petals” using the punched out area to mask the outer border. (When stamping the ornament I also used the rock n’ roll technique to further emphasize the border.)

Oh Susan, love the sneak peeks! Terrific cards. Love the Christmas ornaments and the sunflower is perfect!
What a gorgeous card!! Wow.. convinced me I need to get this set to make a ton of cards!!
How delightful!!! I love the Christmas bulbs…one of my personal fave’s from the mini and your flower interpretation is just plain awesome! Love it!
Wow! This is beautiful! I love how you showed to use the Christmas set another way.
Great cards! The flower is so unique. The top card is so adorable.
I love this. I’m sorry I didn’t get that set now. It’s a beautiful card.
I absolutely LOVE this set and the ornament punch. When will they be coming out to us loyal customers? (I am involved in a local SU card-swap group. We meet once a month). I just received my new catalog a few weeks ago and I can’t find the punch nor the stamp set anywhere! So I’m assuming these products will be coming out soon? Thank you for showing us such wonderful ways to use them. Just gorgeous!
You are AWESOME, girl, you know that?! LOVE the way you turned the ornament into a flower….so clever!
Those snowflakes with the cord look fantastic too!
Awesome stuff!
Susan, I am so glad to see these cards made w/the new sets from the new mini coming real soon! I just might have to case them when my order comes in. I love how you made an unconventional card using the Christmas ornament sets…how clever is that, gf!
wow-wow-wow!!
The christmascard is totally awesome!
LOVE the colors and all the details.
It is simply fabulous.
Of course you made a flower out of a Christmas ornament, you always find a way to be creative and it’s just wonderful. Love both cards. Pat
Both cards are just stunning! What a great use of the ornament punch. Thanks for the tutorial.
You are sooo creative, Susan…..who but you would have thought to make a flower out of the ornament stamps!!!! Your Christmas card is gorgeous with the beautiful colors and snowflakes and the flower is simply STUNNING!!!!
Oh how fun & cute for both cards. What a great idea to turn the ornament into a flower. Too creative Susan.
Susan, these are gorgeous! Such a pretty ornament card and so clever to turn it into a flower … pure genius!!
Your ornaments are so beautiful, Susan…and you are soooo creative to make them into such a wonderful flower!! I love them both!!
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I’d never even THINK to make a flower from an ornament shape, but you’ve done it beautifully! I LOVE the non-traditional colors on the Christmas card, but both are just beautiful!
Beautiful ornaments, and such a cool flower. You are so creative Susan!
WoW! I love these!!! I really, really love the versatility you show with the flower card! So clever!!!
Hi Susan….Your Christmas card is gorgeous!!!
like the snowflake tops to the ornaments and that is such a pretty and creative idea for your flower card too!
Wow! These cards are amazing! How creative to create a flower and ornaments! This stamp set is so versatile!
Wow, these are both great cards. You are so clever to “Summerize” the ornament into a flower petal. Love the corduroy button in the middle. The ornament card is just beautiful.
Beautiful, amazing, fantastic….TFS
great idea Susan! They’re wonderful!
Susan you are a bad person!! I didn’t want to like this set but now because of you, I’m going to have to order it! Bad, bad, bad!! hehehe Love your cards and love how you used the set for something else instead of it’s orginial purpose. I’m always looking for ideas on how to expand my stamp sets. Thanks again for making me order this set, I’ll send you my bill.
Fantastic! Love the cards!
The Spa Day pics — oh so adorable!!
Oh, my, gorgeous!! I love what you did with the ornament set and I’m ready to be knocked out with a feather just looking at your flower card that you made out of the Christmas Ornament!! You ROCK, Susan!!
