Hang Your Stockings!

Hello there stampers!  Once again I've been playing around with some new goodies!  You are just gonna LOVE the new Holiday Catalog!  It is packed with so many fabulous items that it's difficult to choose a favorite!  

My card tonight features the new Hang Your Stockings photopolymer bundle.  The coordinating Christmas Stocking thinlits are just too adorable!  Combine the bundle with the Hearth and Home framelits from the Annual Catalog-  and you have a fantastic project!

I love everything about this bundle!  Especially the NOEL at the top of the mantle.  Such a perfect addition to this card!  Can you see the tiny little Christmas Trinkets?  They are strung on the new Metallic Thread Combo pack.  It comes with a spool of Red and a spool of Green metallic thread.  It seems that the metallic threads are some of my go-to embellishments!  LOVE THEM!!!

Thanks for stopping by!  The supply list is below but for a few items couldn't be found in the database when I created my supply list.  Those items are the Christmas Trinkets and the Metallic Thread Combo Pack.  

Home Sweet Home

Hey there stampers!  Guess what?!?!  I have another SNEAK PEEK to share with you!  Only tonight- it's not a card!  It's an adorable little house created with a new set of thinlits called Home Sweet Home.  The little gingerbread house displayed in the Holiday Catalog was my very reason for buying the thinlits and the coordinating Sweet Home stamp set.  Way too cute!

Here's a close up of the front of the house:

Side view:

Isn't it adorable?  There are so many options to choose from when creating these little houses.  There's Halloween, Christmas, Dog House, regular house, etc...

Frosted Medallions

Hey stampers!  Are you ready to see a SNEAK PEEK from the upcoming Holiday Catalog?  If so, you've come to the right place!  I have ordered (and received) my preorder and let me tell you- it is FILLED with tons of amazing new products!  My only regret was having a vacation the same day my preorder arrived!  Thankfully I've got plenty of time to create and share now that my vacation is over.

The first project I will share is a gorgeous card created with the brand new Frosted Medallions stamp set.  I used the Emboss Resist technique to create the beautiful background.  

The Soft Sky watercolor wash was applied in several layers allowing it to dry completely in-between.  

What do you think?  Would you like to have your copy of the 2016 Holiday Catalog?  Be sure to send me an email with your address and I'll drop one in the mail to  you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Monday Montage 75

Hello there and welcome back for the bi-weekly Monday Montage blog hop. I'm so happy you joined us!  Be sure to visit all of the stops to see what other fabulous projects we have created to share with you.

My card for tonight was created using the fabulous Weather Together stamp set and coordinating Umbrella Weather framelits.  To create the background- I used washi tape to block off parts that I didn't want to be inked.  Then I added a Smoky Slate watercolor wash stripes!

Using the Confetti Hearts Border punch- I was able to create a ton of little confetti hearts to use as rain drops.  Isn't it cute?

Home is...

Hey stampers!  Do you ever have a great idea for a card (or any other kind of project) then when you sit down to create it- it turns out nothing like you had imagined?  Well let me show you my card for today.   It turned out NOTHING like I had imagined yet in the end it turned out beautifully!

I was trying for a more subtle watercolor wash but the colors I had chosen were not yielding the same results as I had imagined.   In an effort not to waste this gorgeous background-  I started looking through my stamps and thought about what stamp set would work perfectly with this bright watercolor wash background.  The Places You'll Go was the lucky winner!  LOVE how it pairs so well with the Cucumber Crush and Tempting Turquoise watercolor wash!  SO FUN!!!
