This week we are CASE-ing the colours of the All Wrapped Up Specialty DSP from 2026 September-December Catalogue.

Don’t you love this colour combination for the holiday season? In addition to the colours above the All Wrapped Up Specialty DSP has Silver Foil Accents.

It isn’t often that we get a stamp set whose subject matter is so local to us. So, the Joyful Frie n ds stamp set had to make its way into my shopping cart. I thought the Koala image would be perfect for this colour combo. I started by dry embossing a panel of Misty Moonlight card stock with the Softly Woven 3D embossing fold and adhering it to a Basic White card base. A strip of the plaid design from the All Wrapped Up Specialty DSP was added to the centre of the card.

The sweet Koala image was stamped in Secret Sea ink on Basic White and coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers. I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to crop the image, which was popped up on the Real Red circle cropped with the Stylish Shapes Dies.

White Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel of Cloud Cover card stock which was then adhered to the card base. This panel helps to ground the image and give it some ‘white space’ to pop out from the busy plaid design.

I decided on the foiled ’tis the Season greeting from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies. You might be surprised that I chose the pink foil, but it works well with the pinkish colour in the plaid design and doesn’t take away from the focal image.

I have kept the inside simple, with a Misty Moonlight mat for the writing panel and a strip of the plaid design at the bottom. The greeting from the Stitched Stocking stamp set was stamped in Peaceful Pine ink.
