Sneak Peek for the 'Holiday Catalogue'

 HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Did I hear a very loud Groooaan!?! hahahaha....

Yes it will soon be that time of year again....Normally I am one of the most un-organised people for THAT time of year ... I  end up rushing around, trying to fit everything in at the last minute..Not this year  (I hope) 

So to start my early preparations for this year, I decided I would make some Christmas cards ready to send to family & friends.

I found my inspiration for this set of Christmas themed cards from the Global Design Project

Using the cute design sketch below

I only made 3 cards for the set! But, because like any good design sketch, it is adaptive to every conceivable stamp set & ephemera, the possibilities for more are boundless.

 I tried to remain true to the sketch. I kept the greeting to the top left (mostly) and added some detail underneath with an element of focus off to the right.

The Sneak Peek Element

I used a little something on each card from the new 'Holiday Catalogue'

which all customers can order from, on the 1 September 2016

Being a SU demonstrator I was able to pre-order items to help give you all a bit of a sneak peek & some inspiration as to what you can create.

 & I can only show you the front of the catalogue atm though, sorry.

But isn't the cover full of gorgeous ideas!

OK

Here is my first card

#Christmaspines #Flurryofwishes #Fancyfrostsequins #KOCreationscards #Embossing #Seasonalbells #FancyfrostDSP

For my second card I used a stamp set from the catalogue.

I love how this design sketch can be left almost empty and still be full of detail. Those Fancy Frost sequins really helped this card pop that little bit extra.

Don't you just love those pine branches and cones, I know I do :-)

And for my 3rd card 

#Christmaspines #Flurryofwishes #Fancyfrostsequins #KOCreationscards #Embossing #Seasonalbells #FancyfrostDSP

I think this one is my fave, but that's probably because it was the last one I made lol.

I do like how the white embossed specialty DSP helps add texture and also becomes a focal interest too.

And a family photo all sitting together hehe :-)

I hope you enjoy these cards as much as I enjoyed creating them x

These cards have all been layered using Stampin' Dimensionals between each layer. The Focals were added using a mixture of glue and dimensionals. I used the Copper embossing powder over Cherry Cobbler for the bells and the Silver embossing powder for the snow flakes over Whisper White & Cherry Cobbler. Both Cherry Cobbler & Crumb Cake card stock has been used along with Whisper White Specialty DSP.

Thank you for stopping in and visiting.

Please, call back soon.
