I think I managed to use new dies, stamp sets and DSP from the new Holiday Mini on all but 2 of these cards! This Mini is filled with a lot of wonderful new product - unfortunately for me!.
A skating snowman from the new set in the Holiday Mini –‘Spirited Snowmen’. Lemon Lime Twist you ask? Well it’s green and it goes great with Real Red!!! The next card uses another something new from the Holiday mini - the dies that coordinate with the ‘Winter Woods’ set. The swirl of stars is from Starlight Thinlits.
The ‘Blizzard’ die (yes it’s new too) was used not only to cut the snowflakes but also to EMBOSS the Night of Navy background. We used the Big Shot Embossing mats (p.221) in the Annual Catalogue to emboss rather than cut. The little village card was made using the ‘Heart Comes Home’ set with it’s coordinating dies.
Love this card. Straight out of the Holiday Mini, p. 28. It uses the ‘Peaceful Noel’ set and the ‘Sprig’ punch as well as the new Merry Merlot & Copper ribbon. The Everyday Label punch created the corner notches. The next card is straight out of the Mini too (p.27). It uses the ‘Winter Woods’ stamp set and coordinating dies.
Another new die is the ‘Merry Christmas’ Thinlits, p.5 in the Holiday Mini. Quick and easy! Beautiful, Beautiful DSP (‘All is Bright’ on p.6 of the Mini) is the focus of this card - thanks Rita for your input. The die used for the Noel banner is from ‘Stitched Labels’ Framelits in the Annual Catalogue.
The ‘Seasonal Wreath’ embossing folder is the focus of this silver card. Simple, quick and easy! The Christmas Wishes card might look complicated but the ‘Detailed Poinsettia’ Thinlits make it really easy to make (new in the Holiday Mini, p.22). The words come from the coordinating stamp set ‘Peaceful Poinsettia’. It also uses the really pretty Merry Merlot and Copper ribbon. The words, Christmas Wishes, are die cut using one of the frames in the ‘Foliage Frame’ Framelits (p.217 in the Annual Catalogue).
