HOLIDAY MINI SNEAK PEEK

I love our new Holiday Mini Catalog!  The catalog doesn't come out until September 1st but as a perk for being a demonstrator we're allowed to pre-order items at least one month in advance.  Well, I pre-ordered my items (more than I should have) and have had a chance to play.  These are some of the projects I made for my Holiday Mini Sneak Peek class.

I love that Stampin' Up! has added material to their product line (at least for the holiday mini and hopefully moving forward).  This is new territory for me and one that I'm looking forward to using more of.  For this card I used our Designer Fabric - Deck the Halls (pg. 16 Item #121716 $9.95)   I adhered the material to our Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (pg. 17 Item#120805 $14.95)  and ran it through the Big Shot Machine using our Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslits die (pg. 215 Item#117332 $11.95).  I peeled off the backing paper and adhered my hearts to my card.  I then used our Big Designer Buttons (pg. 17 Item#121002 $8.95) and Crochet Trim Ribbon (pg. 190 Item#118481 $6.95) as embellishments. I added a sentiment using our Tiny Tags stamp set (pg. 130 Item#118592(clear) $16.95 or Item# 118091(wood)   $22.95) and punched out the sentiment using our Jewelry Tag (pg. 202 Item#117190   $10.95). 
Paper:  Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake, Whisper White card stock.
I love this new Bigz Die Candy Wrapper (pg. 10 Item#120890 $32.95).  I love that you can use this all year around for any occasion.  My box is made with our Rich Razzleberry card stock (pg. 166 Item#115316 $6.95).  I tied off the ends with 1/2" Lace Trim (pg. 8 Item#120988 $5.95).  The stamped image is from our Fang-tastic stamp set (pg. 10 Item#121178(clear) $17.95 or Item#120853(wood) $24.95).  I colored in the little guy with our stampin' markers.
This card also features the Fang-tastic stamp set.  Plus, check out the Spider Web embossing folder (pg. 6 Item#120889 $7.95).  You can see it on the Crumb Cake and Basic Black card stock.  Love it!  I also used our Waffle Paper (pg. 8 Item#120985 $9.95).
I just love our treat cups.  This 3x3 tag was made using A Cute Christmas stamp set (pg.32 Item#121133(clear) $18.95 or Item#120825(wood) $25.95).  The specialty designer series paper is Candy Cane Christmas (pg. 33 Item# 120809 $11.95).   And, below the snowman in the treat cup is our new Glass Glitter (pg. 21 Item#120997 $3.95).  The glass glitter comes in gold and silver.  Paper:  Baja Breeze card stock.
This card uses our Sweet Snowglobe stamp set (pg. 41 Item#120868 $8.95).  The sentiment is from our  Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (pg. 157 Item#115370 $36.95).  Paper:  Whisper White, Real Red, Bashful Blue card stock and Candy Cane Christmas Specialty Designer Series paper. Ribbon used is 5/8" Organza.
