While visiting my son this summer, he took me to the Van Gogh Interactive Art Exhibit. It was beyond anything I can describe, and the effects the experience left on me are lasting. This bundle was my first thought when placing my order in the New Mini Catalog. I had some ink smears on the second card, but was able to hide them with the tree and a couple extra clouds. Can you tell?
Flowering Tulips bundle
Beginning on page 48 in the new Mini Catalog, you'll find the Abstract Beauty Suite.
For Valentines Day, the new Mini Catalog has the Sweet Talk Suite. You can find it beginning on page 8 of your catalog. Check out the cute treat holder on page 10.
Today I'm sharing more samples and inspirations from the new Mini Catalog. Below you'll find a technique video on using blending brushes, and some samples and a video showing the Heart & Home Suite. You can find it beginning on page 58 of your catalog.
Such a fun different set of products! I was instantly drawn to the windmill. I've never had anything like it and I always love something new and different. Take a look at the short video below to see all the choices you have in this suite of Dutch inspired stamps, dies and papers. You can find this suite beginning on page 14 of your catalog. Oh, and take a look at the Flowering Rain Boots bundle on page 30. That would complement the Flowering Fields DSP.
How about a couple of samples? I've made a card copied from the cover of our catalog and some calendars which are such a fun gift. I have several family members and friends waiting for their annual calendars:)

This video shows the New Horizons Suite. The bundle and pebbles enamel shapes are amazing! But I'm sharing with you today is the New Horizons Designer Paper. In the samples below, I've used this gorgeous scene-building paper with the Grassy Grove bundle. This awesome paper is so much fun to use with both of these bundles. Take a look at the cards that are very similar, if you change the DSP it gives a subtle difference to the background. You'll find the New Horizons beginning on page 42 and the Grassy Grove bundle on page 47 of your catalog.

I just love these stocking stuffers! I learned how to make them from fellow Demo, Deseree Krumm.
Here are my directions:

Deseree has a video if you'd like to see it here, although her measurements are different than mine because we used different types of mini bottles.

I just love coneflowers, so I was so happy to see this stamp set in the Fall Holiday Catalog. With the bundle I got more dies of flower silhouettes which are so fun to use. The cork paper is amazing, I love the look and feel of it. It gives such a nice texture to a card. I'm going to have to order some more! I stamped the coneflowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. Cardstock colors are listed below each image. In the fourth sample, I used Pearls which I colored with a Bronze Stampin' Blend. In the fifth sample, I stamped the coneflower image in Blackberry Bliss ink on the Cork paper. Because the cork is so dense, the ink will NOT dry unless you heat set it.
