More Holiday Samples

As promised, here is some more holiday inspiration from the 2012 Holiday mini catalog. If you don't have this catalog and would like one be sure to contact me.

This first card was made by my very first recruit, Linda Picchioni. She has been stamping longer than I have I believe. She is one of my very best friends and I love her laughter and stamping abilities among many other things. She used the single stamp called Frosty Friends (pg 9 of the HM) and Joyous Celebrations (pg.7) for the oval and sentiment. Lots of Big Shot goodies on this card. The Holiday Frame tief (textured impressions embossing folder)from the HM catalog. The Fancy Fan tief, and labels collection framelits. I love how she uses the debossed side of her embossed pieces. A very cute card and who doesn't love snowmen??

The second card was made by Nicole Tholt. Nicole used the Ornament Keepsakes bundle. In the holiday mini (HM) you will see many of these bundles. This one combines the ornament keepsakes stamp set and the holiday ornaments framelits and they are priced to save 15%. I love the color combination of red, green and brown. She used the ornament stamp along with some cherry scalloped tulle ribbon(HM--pg.4) along with the labels collection framelits, polka dot tief, and dazzling details on the ornaments for her focal point. You will notice the paper piercing done with the Festive piercing pack (pg 30 HM). Don't you just love how she layered a couple of the labels in different colors and no more cutting them out by hand as long as you have a Big Shot...if you don't start saving your pennies!
