Holiday Celebrations!

holiday blog hop 13
Welcome to the ESAD Holiday Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from the amazing Delys Cram’s blog.
Yes!  We have a new catalogue – not only that but being the Holiday Catalogue it is choc full of bling!!!
I know that you are all going to love the new Festive Flurry Stamp Set with matching Framelits making it super quick & easy to make lots of snowflakes.
If you would like to move away from tradition, this years colour selection features some beautiful blues & silver.
I decided to make a Christmas card that could incorporate a gift card.  You will find a tutorial for making this card on Splitcoast.

Don’t you just love the DSP in the background?  That is one of special foil accented sheets from the Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The colours I have used are  Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay.
Naturally I had to make sure it really sparkled so some of the snowflakes I cut out of the Silver Shimmer Paper & the others I stamped with Versamark, embossed with Heat & Stick & then added the new Silver Stampin Glitter.
Notice the gorgeous Silver 1/8” Ribbon at the top?  Just pull it & your card will pop up & the gift card will pull out from the back.

Notice the little jewel in the centre? These are the new Frosted Finishes Embellishments.  As soon as I saw them I just HAD to have them.  The picture doesn’t really do them justice as they are super sparkly.

The hidden surprise.

Finally I added a sentiment from the More Merry Messages stamp set in the little window that opens up when you pull out the gift card tab.
You can view the new catalogue on my Demonstrator Business Website & you can even go shopping there for your middle of the night Stampin’ Fix!
