Time is almost out! Last chance for the Snowflake Showcase products!!!

We made this pretty card at a workshop on Monday.  It features the Snow is Glistening stamp set and the Snowfall Thinlits.  These products are only available in November and after today will not be available again.  The funny thing is (probably not funny at all!) is that in a few months these items will be selling for big bucks on ebay because so many people did not order it and want it bad!  Aren't we all fickle!  

I honestly love these items and am sorry they won't be current after tomorrow! 

Gorgeous Grape is a beautiful and rich purple color.  I love how using just a single color can pop with White.  It truly showcases the stamps and dies when you keep it somewhat simple.  

I stamped the snowfall image four times; twice going up and twice heading downward leaving a perfect space for the greeting in between.  The stamps are photopolymer so it's easy to see and line up. 

That gorgeous trailing snowflake is part of the Snowfall thinlits.  Here's the inside view: 

***Triple dip and get:

1. Free Tutorial
2. Free Red rhinestones
3. Free 2 cards pre-cut kit!   

1. Anyone who orders these items from me receives a free 20 cards tutorial (see photo below)!

Gift packaging with a Snowflake Pillow Box

I received this from my friend Susie Wood at On Stage.  She is so sweet and generous!  

I just love how this beautiful die-cut snowflake changes the rather simple pillow box.  These pre-cut boxes are found in our Annual Catalog on page 193. They're just .50 cents each and they fit quite a few pieces of candy or jewelry etc.  A super simple gift idea! 

The snowflake die-cut is from the Snowfall Thinlits which are a November 2018 special offer.  They will NOT be available again after tomorrow, November 30th.  Click here to see them in my online store.  

Snow is Glistening fun fold card

Look at this pretty silver, gray and white Christmas card!  Everyone loves it; it's quite striking in person.  It features the Snow is Glistening stamp set and Snowfall Thinlits.  These items are available through Friday and then they're gone for good!  

I love this triple fold card; there are lots of things you could switch with the snowflakes in the circle area. Greetings, flowers, die-cuts etc.  I love how the texture shows up so nicely on the front panel. Here I used the Curls & Swirls embossing folder in the Holiday catalog. 

Notice the pretty greeting label?  You get that by using my cool punch trick with either the Everyday Label or the Christmas Traditions Punch Box punch in the Holiday catalog. 

My colors are Basic Gray, White, Black and Silver foil.  You can get the measurements for this fun card below.  

I used Basic Gray & Whisper White ink plus the 1 ¾” and 2” circle punches and the Snowfall Thinlits. 

The full instructions are free for anyone who orders the Snowfall Thinlits and/or the two stamp sets that coordinate with it.  In fact you get a 20 project tutorial using these products absolutely free!  See details below. I'll email it to you after you place your order.  See these products here.  Or below. 

Measurements

• Basic Gray 4 ¼” X 10 7/8” scored at 4 1/8” and 8 3/8”
• White Velvet Sheets 4” square
• White card stock 4” square and 1 1/8” X 3” piece for greeting
• Black 1 ¼” X 3” piece for greeting

Snowfall Thinlits; just 4 days left!

These incredible thinlets are still available but they won't be after Friday.  I highly recommend them; they're my product of the week.  I think they're the best snowflake dies we've ever had.  They're gorgeous and that trailing group of snowflakes below is so unique.

The two cards shown today are part of my free 20 project tutorial you'll receive when you order these from  me.  I recommend you add on the  Snow is Glistening stamp set too. 

This card opens up in the center.  Here's the inside view:

Here's another one with our two new purples; Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.  The snowflake die-cuts steal the show on this one: 

Simple can be quite striking when done well.  

See the entire group of thinlits and two stamp sets here.  Get them while you can!  You'll also receive my 20 project tutorial FREE with the purchase.  See details below:
