My first project for today is Santa's mailbox! This project features the brand new Arch Box (Large), Fancy Feet, Post Box Details and North Pole Post! There's a lot of new stuff happening here and I love it ALL! I created a bright red mailbox complete with glittery gold accents and even some snow! I have many memories of the giant red mailbox for Santa at Macy's over the years and that was my inspiration for this project. The box is super easy to assemble and has lots of accent stamps and pieces. You can even make it open from the front instead of the top! I added some pretty holly leaves to complete the look. The red pieces were inked with a darker red Distress Ink to give just a bit of depth. I used white paste for snow... This was really fun to make! And, when you see all the elements, you'll see that it's not just for Christmas!! I can't wait to make more projects!
ALL THE SUPPLIES FOR THIS PROJECT ARE LISTED HERE!

My next project for today is a postcard that's meant just for Santa!! I used the brand new Dear Santa stamps and the brand new North Pole Post stamps and dies, along with other Greetery postage themed items! I even made a candy cane pen! To make the pen I die cut one white pen and one red pen and hand cut out the stripes and glued them on! I was smiling the entire time making it! Isn't that the most gorgeous font?? And the stamp set has matching leaf design elements... So fun. I used accents of lime green and aqua to make it nice and bright and cheerful.
ALL THE SUPPLIES FOR THIS PROJECT ARE LISTED HERE!
My third project for today features the brand new Flourished Phrases Merry stamps, dies and stencils. I combined the new items with the Big Beautiful Bow and the Snowflakes 2, among other pretty Greetery things! I stenciled the Merry phrase onto white cardstock and then die cut it with an oval die. I wanted to try a different layout for this Flourished Phrase... I added a big red bow and some gold snowflakes... A tiny bit of glitter glue and some gems complete the look. The finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with Christmas green gingham...
ALL THE SUPPLIES FOR THIS PROJECT ARE LISTED HERE!
And....my final project for release week is a pink confection of a card! This card features the brand new Ribbon Frame stencils and dies, the new Rosemary and Berry dies, and the brand new Scripted Holiday Sentiments (GORGEOUS) stamps! My finished card is an A2 cream card base, layered with stripes and vellum for a soft look. I used pink cardstock and dark pink in for my ribbon frame and then accented with green and red foliage. The sentiment was heat embossed with sparkly silver embossing powder. It's a clean and simple design with a simple message - peace....
ALL THE SUPPLIES FOR THIS PROJECT ARE LISTED HERE!
