Winter Wonderland Sneak Peek and XL Pillow Box How-to Video

Woohoo!  It's Friday...the weekend is here!  I hope you've had a good week.  Mine was fantastic, as I spent it at the lake, but now I'm home and back to reality.  I was so spoiled at my parents' place, as my mom took care of all the cooking...now I have to go back to figuring out what's for dinner every night ;)
Today I have a sneak peek at some more new products from the upcoming 2015 Holiday Catalogue and I have to admit, I am in love with this particular group of projects...

Christmas ensemble featuring the Flurry of Wishes stamp set and Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series Paper, available September 1 in the new 2015 Holiday Catalogue

Here is a closer look at each item:

First the card:

I used the Flurry of Wishes stamp set and heat embossed the images and sentiment in gold.  I so love the elegance of black, gold and white together!

Isn't that sparkly ribbon the bomb?!?  It is also available in the 2015 Holiday Catalogue and is soooo pretty! 

Now for one of the boxes:

This is a pillow box created using the new Square Pillow Box Thinlit Dies.  I love the square shape and the generous 4+" size of the finished box.

And an even bigger box:

This is an extra-large-sized pillow box I designed using the same set of Thinlit Dies!  It is so easy to create beautiful gift packaging using these dies!  This finished box is about 8-1/4" long by 4" wide.

Check out the video below to see how I did it and to get a closer look at some of the new products I used to create this ensemble.
