Holiday Blog Blitz Begins!

Border Die, Christmas, Flowers, Jeanne Jachna


It’s Jeanne here today and I’m bringing you tidings of great joy!  We’re starting our Winter / Holiday blog blitz TODAY!  That means we’re sharing projects made with the new products and hoping to inspire your holiday makes!!  We’ve got lots to show you and lots of prizes too!   You can see all the 2019 Holiday Release products in the store here!    

If you haven’t checked out the Fall/Halloween blog blitz  you can still leave comments to enter to win through September 23 – winners will be announced on September 26).   

I made my holiday card look like a present!  I started with a solid double matted card stock background.  I topped the panel with two Grosgrain Ribbon craft dies to look like ribbon over the blue wrapping.

The Holiday Joy craft die comes with an outline word die as well as a shadow background die.   That means you can use the word with or without the background making it more versatile.  I love the little cut out leaves that adorn the ends!   I filled in their centers to add some extra color. 

The Delicate Poinsettia die set contains three die cuts.   I cut each layer from a different shades of red and stacked them with the lightest in the center.  I had some assorted size half pearls perfect for embellishing the flower center but some NUVO Drops would work great too! 

And now the part you’ve been waiting for.  The prize today is the Delicate Poinsettias craft die.

And here’s all the details of the event….
