Have you noticed this week that we have been posting from the new release? You can find a link to the entire release here. There are stamps as well as dies and items for Fall as well as Christmas. Hopefully you will be inspired for the upcoming seasons!
Would you like to flip for through the new look books? There is the one for Halloween as well as Christmas.
We will be celebrating the new release on the blog this week from Monday, August 26th- Sunday, September 1st. There will be a new sample each day as well as a chance to win a prize each day this week.
Hi - Jean Okimoto here with the first blog blitz project and a chance to win a great prize.
Cut watercolor paper with the 3-¼" Square Basics die. Sponge it with Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Oxides. Spritz it with a light mist of water, then heat-set it. Splatter it lightly with Imagine Crafts Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz. Set it aside to dry.
Cut Chandele Star from white cardstock. It's a great new design that's not just perfect for Chrismas - use it throughout the year for celebrations and special events.
Stamp the greeting - from the new Merry and Bright Mistletoe Clear Stamps Set - on white cardstock with VersaMark. Emboss it with detail clear powser. Sponge it with Rocket Red Gold Brilliance. Wipe the residual ink off with a tissue. Cut it with the ¾" Square Basics die.
Pressure-emboss the dried watercolor paper with Chandele Star using the plates and embossing mat required for your machine.
Cut a stencil from vellum using the Chandele Star. Vellum is great for disposable stencils because it keeps a crisp edge and doesn't get saturated with ink. Sponge Rocket Red Gold Brilliance through the stencil onto the pressure-embossed star.
Attach the diecuts to a side-folded A-2 card of textured white cardstock. Add ¼" circles punched from gold glitter cardstock.
Want a chance to win the new Chandele Star ? Leave a comment on this blog post anytime before Sunday, September 1st at 11:59pm EST. One comment will be selected at random to win the prize. All contest winners will be announced on the Outside the Box blog on Monday, September 2nd at 6:00pm EST. Good luck!
Thanks for visiting. Stop by again tomorrow for Donna's project and another chance to win a prize from our latest collection!

Love that står!!!

This really is a beautiful snowflake / star die. I love the bright watercolors, too. The sponging technique for the sentiment is a really clever idea and I have been using it the last few days on Christmas cards. Thanks, Jean!
