Welcome to the Stampin’ Addicts Holiday Catalog Blog Hop!!  We are celebrating the amazing Holiday Catalog and I know you will be so inspired by everyone’s projects.  I am first so I’ll try to start you off with a sparkly holiday celebration.  If you started somewhere in the middle, you came over from Tanya’s Tinkerin’ In Ink and I know you were wowed by her creativity with Wonderfall!  That bag, the candles and, of course, the card…amazing!  My set for today is Snowflake Soiree.  It was the very first set I wanted from the Holiday Catalog and I think it is beautiful!  I hope you love my projects (and you can click on any of them to see them larger).

I thought it would be fun to make a gift set so I created a card, the altered paint can and some tags.  I have to say that the beautiful sparkle off this set just cannot be completely photographed.

 

This card is embossed using Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and then brayered using Midnight Muse.  Shimmery White Paper provides a subtle bit of extra shine in the background.  Rhinestones top off the snowflakes perfectly, don’t you think?

This little paint can was altered using Silver Shimmer Paper, Midnight Muse and Whisper White.  I came upon a happy coincidence while making the little tag and found that the snowflakes from the new Snow Flurry Die coordinate with the stamp.  I love how Stampin’ Up does this!!

Finally I created some fun and quick tags to put in the little paint can (along with some holiday treats).  These are so quick and easy!  They are also created using Shimmery White Paper for a bit of extra shine and a Basic Rhinestone finishes it off.

I’ll be back over the next week with details on each project.  For now, make sure you move on over to Sharon’s blog, Created by You, to see her projects made with Joyous Celebrations.  You’ll be so impressed with the different looks all from one set!  Enjoy the hop!!
