What I'm Excited About This Month

COLOUR INSPIRATION

POOL PARTY

PRETTY PEACOCK

GRANNY APPLE GREEN

Our minds associate colours with seasons, feelings, and memories. This Christmas season tease your senses with a colourful twist on the traditional! The unexpected combination of Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, and Granny Apple Green is a bright and vibrant way to celebrate the season. Add it Neutrals colours like Merry Merlot, Soft Suede, and Whisper White to finish off this fun, non-traditional combination.

The first card has a clean and simple, modern look featuring the colour blocking technique. The Merry Moose stamp set (#150494) and coordinating Merry Moose Punch (#150652). Order them together in the Merry Moose Bundle (#153015) and save 10%! Detail is added with the Woodland (#139673) and Pinewood Planks 3D (#152320) Embossing Folders. One of the hidden treasures in the 2019 Holiday Catalogue is the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit (#150425). It includes stitched felt accents, like the scarf our friendly moose is wearing, and lots of bits for building adorable snowmen. You'll be glad you have this fun kit to play with.

The second card also features the colour blocking technique and a plethora of plaid! The Buffalo Check Background Stamp (#147798 wood, #151372 cling) provides the large plaid pattern. The smaller plaid is one of the lovely patterns in the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper (#150454). The greeting and stamped and punched plaid tree are part of the Perfectly Plaid Bundle (#151143).
