Today is the first day to order from the Holiday Catalog!  This catalog is stuffed with so many cool stamps and accessories it is hard to see them all!.   I will do my best to share with you  lots of samples from the new Holiday catalog.  

Check out the LOVE!  This is from the new Expressions Thinlits Dies (132171) .  The other words in the set are "thankful" and " merry" and it is on page 36 of the Holiday Catalog.  These are beautiful and add a lot of impact.   Be sure to use a piece of waxed paper between the paper and the die.  This will help release the paper from the die.  There are also little holes in the thinlit and if you poke a pin in those holes the paper will pop right out.  I know I am going to have a lot of fun with these new dies!

DId you notice the little bit of bling on the flowers?  Here's how I made that.  I embossed some black card stock with Irisdescent Ice embossing powder and punched it out using the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack.  I layered the blingy black onto a 1/2" circle of Silver Glimmer paper.  Love the sparkle and it does not add much bulk to the card.
