A Holiday Sneak Peek

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. Things here have been juuuust a wee bit crazy! Our reno started last week on Wednesday, literally 10 minutes before I headed out the door to the airport to visit my BFF in Virginia for a few days. While I was gone, lots of demolition work got done, but not so much rebuilding. There is A TON of dust EVERYWHERE and my beautiful studio is in total chaos. UGH! This week I am hoping they finish the construction in the basement so that we can get the new carpet installed and I can begin to put my crafting space back together again. I am DYING to get working on new designs for my fall events.

Now, before the chaos began, I was able to get in a little playtime with my Holiday Catalogue pre-order. Want to see a little something? I thought so...here you go...

I used LOTS of new products on this design. The stamped images are from the Peaceful Noel stamp set. It contains soft, watercolor-look images that layer beautifully. I used Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, Soft Suede and Cherry Cobbler inks to stamp the images. The little gold glimmer sprigs are punched with the new Sprig Punch, which is available in a discounted bundle with the Peaceful Noel stamp set. I have to say, I think this will be my new favourite punch this Holiday Season! Such a quick and easy way to embellish any design! The DSP is actually from the Under the Mistletoe pack in the Annual Catalogue. I used the Layering Circles Framelits to die-cut both the DSP and the gold foil scallop circles.

The sentiment is from one of my very favourite new bundles called Merry Christmas to All. This set of stamps and coordinating dies are sure to be BIG sellers this holiday season, as it includes tons of stamped sentiments and four die-cut words to create endless possibilities for greetings. Here I die-cut the word "Merry" from Cherry Cobbler card stock and stamped "very" and "wishes" to construct my greeting. I LOVE the versatility of this bundle, which is why it was at the top of my Holiday Catalogue wish list ;)
The only embellishments on this card are a few gold metallic pearls and a bow made with some retired ribbon from my stash.

On the inside of the card I stamped more images from the Peaceful Noel stamp set and added a sentiment from the same set in Soft Suede ink.
