2017 December Collection Preview - Final Day

Hello!  Welcome to the final day of our December collection previews!  Our preview today features a beautiful set called The Possibility of Miracles.  This set includes birds and trees and can be used year-round just by changing the leaves and flowers.  There are seven stamps in total.     

Let's have a look at what our designers have created: 

Ilina gave the trees the perfect hint of green by simply stamping the leaf image twice.  And the red birds and white pearls turn it into a beautiful holiday card!  This set will have a matching die set available as well as the digital cut files.

Melissa paper-pieced the cupcake wrapper by stamping it on apple reverse polka dot cardstock, closely trimming just the wrapper, and then adhering it to the cupcake.  So cute!

Here's a closer look:

This stamp set works well with other stamp sets too!  Emily combined one of the penguins that we previewed yesterday with the cupcake.  I just love the peppermint swirl - it really makes things pop!

The cupcake works perfectly with the balloon penguin for a fun birthday card!  Ilina used snowflake sequins from our snowfall mix as the perfect finishing touch.  (If you don't already have these sequins, you might want to grab them today while they are part of our Monday Madness sale - which ends tonight).

2017 December Collection Preview - Day 1

Hello!  Emily Montenaro here - I hope you enjoyed the inspiring projects from our guest designers this past week.  I'm back today to share the previews for our December Collection!  I am filling in this month for Linda who is away getting married in Australia!  

Ok - let's get on with the PREVIEWS!

YOU'RE THE COOLEST

Today's previews feature a fun stamp set called "You're the Coolest".  It includes 18 stamps in total with four adorable penguins being the main images.  It is the perfect stamp set for wintery cards as well as for the holidays and birthdays.   

Let's have a look at what our designers have come up with.

First is this adorable holiday design from Melissa.  This penguin is so cute and happy!  Melissa stamped the eight-point star from the set and added twinkle stickers in the centers for the perfect touch!

To view more of Melissa's designs, please visit her blog.

Next up is this fun penguin in his cozy sweater!  I love how Emily die cut the snowflake on the front of the card and stamped the penguin inside peeking through the snowflake.

To view more of Emily's designs, please visit her blog.

If you look closely at the next penguin's feet, you'll see ice skates!  Making scenes with these cuties is easy with the matching die set and Ilina used it here to die cut the penguin for added dimension.  We will also be offering the digital cut file for this set!   

Here's a closer view - our snowflakes stamp set goes perfectly with the penguins:

November Guest Designer - Marina Kartavenko Final Day

Marina also decorated the inside cover of the album - so fun!

On this last design, Marina created a starry background by repeating the star images from Mini Messages!

On these next two cards, Marina also used the Mini Messages tag.  I love her use of Vellum on all of these designs.

This last fun design features Hello Deer.  I love the pinecone, berries, and holly leaf together from our new Holiday Trimmings stamp set.  And notice the amazing snowflake background that Marina created using stamps from different stamp sets!  Several images are from Holiday Trimmings, then I also see snowflakes from Mug Life and Hello Deer.
