Delightful Decorations

This is another set from the Holiday Mini Catalog that when I saw it I knew I had to have it! Okay...I know...I say that about almost everything! But, this set, Delightful Decorations comes with four ornaments and three little accent stamps. Then, there is a coordinating Ornament Punch, and Merry & Bright Rub-Ons! There is also a coordinating Sparkle & Shine Wheel. How cool is that?

Here is the card I made, using Always Artichoke, Ruby Red, and Whisper White Cardstock. I used one of the little accents to randomly stamp the background, then stamped the ornaments in Ruby Red and Always Artichoke Classic Ink and punched them out with the Ornament Punch. Isn't cute the way it leaves the perfect border around the ornament? I used the Eyelet Border Punch to add a delicate touch. I like the way the holes in the eyelet coordinate with the dots on the ornaments. I was also glad to see that they brought back the Silver and Gold Elastic Cord. This is a great addition to cards, and is also fun to use for wrapping small packages or adding to gift bags. A little hint: I added a tiny dot of Crystal Effects to the silver bows, so they won't come untied. I also used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the ornaments. The Merry Christmas stamp is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.

Ornament Punch & Delightful Decorations available September 1 in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

We are working out the details for our Holiday Mini Workshop. There are so many great things in this catalog, so keep watching, you won't want to miss this one!

Thanks for stopping by today!
