Say Goodbye to Holiday Products in Four Days!

Unfortunately, it's that time of the year when we say goodbye to some fabulous, holiday-related products. December 31st marks the end of the life of the Holiday Expressions Idea Book and the photographed Silver & Gold Collection seen above.

The same holds true for the Beary Christmas Collection and quite a few others to include Halloween and Thankgiving-themed products. In fact, a lot of the Beary Christmas Collection is already unavailable because it was well-loved.

Be sure to check out what's included in the Holiday Expressions and check out the Going Soon! area of my website that includes some other items. 

Some of these products are my favorites and it's going to be hard for me to see them go. 

Have an awesome day!

CTMH Technique Blog Hop - Terrific Tags

Thank you for joining us this month as we feature artwork incorporating the use of "tags". You are bound to see some fun and creative ways they are used. 

If you are coming from Wendy's Blog, you are on the right track. There is a complete list of participants if you were to get lost along the way.

Page 19 of the Holiday Expressions Idea Book served as my point of inspiration. Okay...so I like seriously almost copied it. LOL (Gotta love that you can do that and still call something "homemade".)

I changed out the patterned paper, stamp set and ribbon, used on the original card, and made a few minor adjustments. I appreciate that I was able to recreate such a beautiful card with just a few twists.

The stamp set used was "Inspired Words" and the rose texture provided on the White Daisy cardstock was created by using our Rose Embossing Folder, passing it through the Cuttlebug.

I love the striking simplicity of this card and hope you do too. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Next, head on over to Darlys's Blog to see what artwork she has created. 

Happy hoppin'!

Holiday Expressions Blog Hop

We are featuring new product that was released in our Holiday Expressions. It debuted September 1st and contains Halloween, Fall, Christmas and Winter-themed paper! It is full of fabulousness! You can click here to view its contents online.

If you are coming from Cat's Blog, you are on the right track.  You can find a complete list of participants by clicking here.

I used the patterned paper from City Sidewalks, and made a banner out of Peacock cardstock. The stars were random-stamped with Glacier ink using "All is Bright" stamp set. The sentiment was stamped in Raspberry ink and I, of course, had to add some Shimmer Trim to finish it off. I absolutely love how this card turned out. I hope you like it too!

Head on over to Melinda's Blog to see what she has in store for you, using some of our brand new products.

Happy hoppin'!

I totally LOVE how this card turned out and it was so simple to create.  Eggplant cardstock was used for the card front and then two different patterned paper was added from the Sangria paper pack.  The sentiment and leaves came from the Thankful Heart stamp set, stamped in Cocoa and the leaves colored with the ShinHan markers.

Gold Foil Tape, a fun embellishment that is simple to add to your project, and Gold Sequins finished off the card.

Here is the stamp set and paper pack used:

B1463 Thankful Heart $9.95 

X7199B Sangria Paper Pack $9.95

Aren't' they both gorgeous?!
