Today is the launch of the Mini Catalog, as well as the launch of the new On Line Store!! Two great things at once. I hope you will check out the store and see all of the new looks and features. And you can do that without placing an order. One of the new features that I love is that you do not lose your shopping cart items if you log out before purchasing. Next time you log in, they will still be there!!
I am mixing a carry over favorite with some new products today. I fell in love last year with the Perfectly Plaid Bundle. The little Christmas Trees with matching punch. I was thrilled when it carried over to the Annual Catalog, and am so happy to break it out again.
As I said above, I mixed several products today. The first is the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Pine Tree punch. I stamped the plaid tree three times using Shaded Spruce Ink and punched them out with the matching punch. I then scored each one down the middle, burnished and then glued them together.
The background for the trees is the new Balmy Blue Glitter paper. It reminds me of a bright winter night here. I cut a piece that is square and a bit larger than the die cut circle. I will say that glue and regular adhesive do not work very well for the glitter paper. Since I wanted it to be raised anyway, to give some depth for the trees, I used the Foam Adhesive Strips around the edges of the glimmer paper.
The front panel is Just Jade Card Stock. I die cut the circle first using the Layering Circles Dies. I used the 4th smallest scalloped circle. After cutting the circle, I embossed the panel with the new Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder. I believe it may show better in landscape mode, but that was not my layout. It still works here.
To adhere the trees to the Glimmer paper, I used glue dots. I wanted to make sure it would hold and the glue just didn’t seem to want to set. I added about 4 of them for security! The finishing touch to this forest of trees is the banner. The sentiment is from the Festive Post stamp set. And it is cut using the banner die from Tasteful Labels Dies. I added one of the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots for a bit of bling. I didn’t want it to conflict with the glitter paper, so went with the Just Jade dot instead of a rhinestone.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you like today’s creation. And please let me know if I can assist you with your next order.
