Hello and happy Tuesday! Melissa is here today sharing a gorgeous card using products from our Handiwork collection! Before we get to that, I just wanted to give you a little heads up! We have new holiday products coming to the shop next week. Eep! We’ve been busy behind the scenes getting everything ready!
Our Recollective Holiday collection will be available in the shop on Friday, October 6th. It’s filled with things inspired by my childhood Christmases…most notably the time and traditions spent at my grandmother’s house. She loved Christmas! She looked forward to it and prepared for it all year. So many of the products in our Recollective collection were inspired by her. I’m excited to share it all with you!
I hope you’ll join us for sneak peeks starting in just a few days, and then next week will be filled with product reveals and projects from the team before it all hits the shop on Friday, October 6.
Now let’s check out the beautiful project Melissa is sharing today…
I have a major crush on the tiny scissors from the Handiwork Notionable die collection. I needed a quick Thank You card and knew I wanted to center it around these cute scissors.
I used the gorgeous Rose Tapestry Stencils to create my background and then built my scene over the top. A panel of vellum helps add some subtlety to the background, allowing the focal point to stand out a little from the patterned background. I’ve used a sentiment from the Sew Vintage stamp set and stamped it over the top of a die cut Hoopla Mini Inserts heart. I used a few stamped and diecut images from the Floral Sampler stamp set and matching die around my sentiment to finish it off.
Thanks so much for joining us today! We’ll be back a little later this week to share some sneak peeks of our Recollective Collection!
