Catty Cruise Sails Again!

Welcome board the Catty Cruise! We've got 11 amazing ports of call with incredible treasures from the new Holiday Mini catalog for you to oogle!

You may have just arrived from Linda's blog where she shared her fabulous scrapbook pages & video! using the new My Digital Studio which will be available on October 1st. Or maybe you're just starting the cruise. There's no beginning or end - just come on board & sail away on our Holiday cruise!

I'm featuring the stamp set Delightful Decorations along with the coordinating punch & even more!

This 12 X 12 scrapbook page was easily created with the Delightful Decorations stamp set & punch. Click on the photo to see it in more detail. I placed it into a 12" shadow box frame - what a great way to showcase your scrapbook pages! These are my three children a few years ago - one of my favorite photos of them.

I used the Christmas Cocoa Specialty & a little bit of Holiday Lounge Designer Series paper too.

The black Peace & Joy is an SU decorative strip die cut, the large snowflake is our new snowflake punch. There are also a few snowflake rub-ons from the Icicle rub-ons in the Holiday Mini catalog. I used the SU Punch Windows die to layer the Modern Window punch for the Merry Christmas tags.

And check out the box of Christmas tags using the same set - Delightful Decorations along with Sweet Season from the current catalog.

****I will post a tutorial for this box on Monday, the 28th, so come on back!

Aren't the colors great together? The new In Color, Soft Suede, White & Real Red. This would make an awesome gift!

I used markers, gold thread, ribbons & a few punches to create these.

These are really fun & easy to make - no thinking, just coloring & punching! And it didn't take that long either. Now I'll be ready to wrap & decorate those gifts come December.

And last is an elegant Christmas card made with the Delightful Decorations stamp set again.

I inked the ornament stamp in Versamark ink & stamped onto Rich Razzleberry card stock & embossed with Silver embossing powder. Punched it out with the coordinating punch & then layered it onto a piece of Long board chipboard cut out with the ornament Mover's & Shapers die. I sponged the edge with the Platinum Shimmer paint to match the front. This piece could easily be removed so the ornament can be used as a gift too!

I also doodled with the Platinum Shimmer paint with a fine paint brush on the edge of the black card stock square. The circles on the bottom are punched from our Groom specialty paper & layered onto the Night & Day specialty paper from the Holiday Mini.

I clear embossed the French Filigree background stamp on the Rich Razzleberry card base.

Now be sure to keep cruisin' & join Brooke with her amazing fall projects featuring the Pumpkin Patch set & the beautiful Autumn Splendor stamp set. Enjoy!
