Moose is a Jolly Friend

New Catalog is Here,
New Catalog is Here!!!
Yesterday we could start ordering from the new
Holiday Catalog and it is amazing.
I would love to hear what some of your favorite items are.
Holiday Catalog
I have been playing a bit with some of the new items
and I promised you are going to love it.

Here is a fun sample using the Jolly Friends stamp set and the Merry Medley background.
Best news is — it comes with a fabulous punch that punches out a Santa hat.

The Merry Medley background stamp is fabulous.
I ordered it in the clear mount and cut it all apart — Silent Night
Most wonderful time of year, etc. so instead of one awesome background stamp I now have words for tons of cards.

In this sample it is stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock with Crumb Cake ink — ink up BELIEVE with Real Red marker and color in the words, right on the stamp.  Very Vanilla cardstock the the moose’s head.
Candy Cane Lane designer paper for the hat.
Early Espresso ink for the hat brim.

Thoughtful Branches Four Seasons

Last night was my Thoughtful Branches Class.
We made a four seasons framed art.
Everyone was thrilled with their finished project.

I had lots of help on designing this one.
My sister, Tina Rappe, designed her projects first.
I loved her ideas — I went searching on Google and Pinterest
to see what different ideas were floating around in cyber space.
I put different combinations together to create my finished picture.
Thoughtful Branches Framed Art
We covered all four seasons.
Spring — Hydrangea with Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry and Smoky Slate
cut out two flower pieces — one is stamped — stack with dimensionals
Brick Wall embossing folder
SummerSeaside Shore stamp set, Dapper Denim, Calypso Coral and Soft Sky
Seaside embossing folder
I love how the top of the tree framelit makes fabulous coral
Fall — Gorgeous Grunge stamp set helps with “falling” leaves
Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Delightful Dijon and Crumb Cake
stamp pumpkin with Pumpkin Pie — cut out with framelit
attach to a Pumpkin Pie Oval (to fill in so you don’t have holes)
stamp pumpkin handle (tree) on Crumb Cake
Winter — Soft Suede, Real Red, Very Vanilla

We just found out that this stamp set and thinlit will continue to be available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, so if you didn’t already order it, you still have some time to get that order placed.

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home — I love this saying and everyone's "home" is different.
Today's "home" is a coffin filled with Halloween treats.
It's a sneak peek from the Holiday Catalog — that means brand new product.
I saw this cutie on a display table at a demonstrator event this past weekend.
I can't wait to make one of my very own.

Home Sweet Home
I can't wait to make one of my very own.
It uses a brand new thinlit — Home Sweet Home.
Oh, the fun you can make with this framelit set.
This coffin can be a gingerbread house, a Halloween house
or even just a plain neighborhood house.
For our coffin she used Black cardstock to cut out the house pieces — no windows cut out.
She didn't seal the house shut — that gives the top of the coffin.
She added a piece of window sheet to cover the candy inside.
She then used another new item — the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set to
stamp Dracula and color in with markers.
There is even a punch to punch him out — so awesome.

I just loved how this looks and can't wait for you to
design so many of your own houses.

I can't share my online store for these items yet — you can start ordering them on Thursday, Sept. 1st!!!
