Blog Hop - Holiday Expressions New Product Spotlight


Welcome to our Holiday Expressions Blog Hop! Our new Holiday Expressions book is a supplement to our Annual Inspirations.  The Holiday Expressions has everything you need for your Holiday papercrafting projects including fall, Halloween and Christmas stamps, papers and more!  The Holiday Expressions is also where you will find the Stamps of the Month.  This book is only good through December 31 so you don't want to wait until next year to order your favorite things!

Today we are featuring artwork created with products from our new Holiday Expressions book. We have over 20 Consultants participating in this circular hop so when you get back to me, you will know you have visited all of the blogs! Be sure to leave comments! We LOVE reading comments. If you came from Haley Dyer's blog you are on the right track! If you get lost along the way you can find the entire participating hoppers HERE.

Today I wanted to go 'out of the box' a little bit with our Halloween paper pack.  Each month my clubs create a WOTG Scrapbooking Kit.   There was not a WOTG kit for the Nevermore paper so I created 2 fun Halloween Layouts for them.  (I will share those in a few days)  Not all of my club members have small trick or treaters at home anymore so I also created a layout that was not Halloween themed for those ladies.



















I used several of our Close To My Heart Cricut cartridges for this layout.  The large butterfly is from our newest Cartridge - Artistry.  The smaller butterfly is from the Artbooking cartridge. The gears are from the Artiste Cartridge and the word "Amazing" is the font from Artfully Sent.  I stamped the word "SIMPLY" with Jennifer's Hand My Acrylix stamp and added purple shimmer trim and Purple Heart Glitter Gems to finish the layout.

Come back and visit my blog later this week to see the Halloween layouts I created using the Nevermore Paper Pack and Nevermore Compliments!.

Now it is time to hop over to Catherine Nowak's blog to see what she has to share!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
