Holiday. Catalog Swaps

Last week I hosted a team meeting for the Ink Masters, my team of demonstrators.  We had a great time discussing the new Holiday catalog, and we did a team swap.  Each of us created card fronts using new Holiday catalog products, and we brought enough of our cards so everyone could take one home.  How fun!

Today I'll showcase a few of the cards that were shared.

Let's start with Halloween:


Unfortunately we didn't include our names, and I'm not positive, but I think this was Simona's submission.  This features the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper - a Basic Black base with a Highland Heather layer are traditional Halloween colors.  The three strips of DSP are a great way to stretch your paper and create some fun cards.


And I think this was from Gail.  I love that boiling cauldron and the little frog from Cauldron Bubble!  And can you see the wisp of "ghost trail"?  So cute!  More traditional holiday colors of black, orange and purple, and she snuck in a little Buffalo Plaid (see the checked layer?) and some Glimmer Paper.  Great use of colors and products.

Now on to Thanksgiving:


Ceresa sent her swaps all the way from Alabama!  And they are beautiful!  Ceresa used the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper (Annual Catalog) with Old Olive and Night of Navy - such a lovely color combination.  The Pretty Pines Thinlits and the Linen Thread are the perfect accents.

Bonnie created this beauty:


Love the Buffalo Check background in black and Bermuda Bay!  And the sentiment from the Warm Hearted host set is gorgeous!  She pulled it all together with a few white leaves, and left us all breathless with appreciation for this lovely card.

And for Christmas:


Crystal pulled out all the stops, with a bokeh background and some pretty ribbon, highlighting the tree from Winter Woods.  But her use of Shimmer Paint won us all over - from dabs on the tree to the "dipped" sentiment, we were wowed!

Thanks for visiting today; I have more swaps to share, so c'mon back and check them out.
