NOWFLAKE WISHES BUNDLE - Helen Piaskowski

The holiday season is dashing along and before we know it we'll be ringing in a new (and hopefully less crazy) year! I love the holidays so I'm trying to slow down and enjoy as many of the traditions and moments as I can, plus get in lots of crafting, of course!

The Giant Year-End Closeout Sale that is currently going on is one of the best sales I can remember! Tons of great kits and supplies at up to 50% off! Top-picks are selling out, so be sure to shop for them if you haven't marked off all your wish list items yet. The August-December Mini Catalogue ends January 4th and retiring items are only available while supplies last.

You may have heard that Whisper White cardstock has been discontinued due the the manufacturer shutting down unexpectedly. It's a sad result of the times for us and the supplier. However, I am confident that the new Basic White cardstock that is coming soon will be great. If you want to order Whisper White you'll want to order quickly as it is selling out quickly and limits of 2 have been placed on all packs of Whisper White cardstock, Envelopes, Notecards, etc.

In the spirit of a bright and joyful season, this month's Colour Inspiration features the rich shimmer of metallic colours. They are beautiful now, for New Year's, and for happy occasions to come. I hope you enjoy the elegant metallic projects!

The August–December 2020 Mini Catalogue Inspiration

POINSETTIA PLACE SUITE

When you are looking to create traditional and elegant Christmas cards, the Poinsettia Place Suite is one you'll reach for year after year.

Special touches like the flocked vellum in the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (#153486), the dazzling Beaded Pearls (#153534), and the elegant Real Red Sheer Ribbon (#153535) make this suite stand out and shine. I also love that the Poinsettia Dies (#153522) have duplicates of several dies. That means when you stamp the layering poinsettia and leaf images from the coordinating Poinsettia Petals stamp set (#153475), you can save time by cutting out two of each at one time. We all love to save time!

From traditional colours to modern, monochrome elegance you'll be amazed at all the different styles you can create with this suite.

Below, I'm sharing a tutorial that combines a bit of rustic charm with elegant gold and embossed accents. I can't wait to see what you'll create with this gorgeous suite.
