Festive Friday

Happy Friday...the weekend is here!  Yippee!!  I hope you have some fun planned this weekend.  I am looking forward to dinner with an old college friend, and, of course, some stamping ;)
 Today I have another Holiday Catalogue sneak peek for you.  Check it out:

Christmas card featuring the Wonderland stamp set, Woodland TIEF and Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum; all available September 1st in the 2015 Holiday Catalogue
 Yesterday I showed you a Fall-themed card that used the new Woodland embossing folder, now here it is on a Christmas card.  Those gorgeous trees work for just about any occasion.  Here I added some sparkle to them by sponge daubering on some Versmark ink and then heat embossing with Irridescent Ice embossing powder.  You can see the sparkle a bit better in this photo.



To add even more shimmer I used a piece of the new Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum, which is simply beee-u-ti-ful!  It comes in the silver snowflakes, red candycane striep and green Christmas trees.  So pretty and shiny! Since I was on a roll with the sparkle and shine, I added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper behind my sentiment.  That sentiment is from the new Wonderland stamp set and is heat embossed in silver and die cut using the Project Life Cards and Labels framelits.  I added a couple bits of silver 1/8" metalllic ribbon and a snowflake embellishment from last year's catalogue because my new ones from this year won't arrive till next week! ;)

On the inside I heat embossed in silver a sentiment from the retired More Merry Messages set (again, because my new sentiment sets aren't here yet!) and added some little snowflakes which are also part of the Wonderland stamp set. I've included a list of all of the products I used (minus the ones that are either retired or not available yet!) below.  Clicking on any of them will send you right to my online store for easy ordering ;)
Be sure to check back on Sunday for a new colour challenge from Sunday Stamps.  Till then, have a fabulous weeked!
