Sneak Peeks

 The new July - December Holiday Catalog and SALE-A-BRATIONS catalogs go live in just 9 more days! I have two more cards to show you. 

On the first one, I used some 6 x 6 DSP from the SALE-A-BRATIONS catalog. It's called Gold & Silver Foil. I used my blending brushes to apply Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Flirty Flamingo inks to the paper. The gold is metallic, so it doesn't absorb the color. I left a strip of the plain paper with polka dots in the center. For the ribbon, I used White Crinkle Seam binding, and with my dark Crushed Curry Stampin' Blend marker, I just swiped it across the ribbon... easy peasy... and it dries instantly:) I'm telling you buy a couple rolls of this ribbon. You can use alcohol ink markers to make any color ribbon you like!!

For the second card, I cased the design on page 24 of the July - Dec. catalog. The sample on that page is a box wrapped with the DSP for a gift. I just made it into a card. I don't have the stunning Distressed Gold Specialty Paper yet, (it's in the mail) so I used regular gold foil. The lighest green leaves were fussy cut from the DSP.

Leaves & Boughs of Holly

 This DSP, Boughs of Holly, is so pretty it just gives me goose bumps! The Stamp set is called Leaves of Holly, along with the Holly Berry Dies makes such a lovely suite for Christmas. They will be available along with the entire July - Dec. Holiday catalog on JULY 1, 2022.
