Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m going to share two card with you that will give you a peek at the ONLINE Exclusives being released tomorrow the 6th of July. The online exclusives cannot be found in any publication … annual or mini catalog. This allows us to release new products any time of year, we’re not restricted to a catalog… How fun is that.

The two cards will be from two different bundles … I’m showcasing the One Horse Open Sleigh and the second card is from our Artisan Team member Charlet Mallett, she’s highlighting the Trucking Along stamp & punch bundle.

I can’t tell you a lot about this card but from the looks of it, she stamped the trucks to create a background and then punched one out as a focal point. The banner she used behind the truck comes from the All That Dies. The designer paper is Let’s Go Fishing. This is such a cute take on this bundle, it’s been the talk of the internet! Can’t wait to order one for myself on the 6th.

The second is mine, and I am using the One Horse Open Sleight Suite …. This was one of the sets that we as demonstrators could pre-order so I have just started playing with mine. Getting ready for my class but here is one of my first designs …

I knew I wanted to use the sleigh so I stamped it onto Basic White with the Memento Ink and then began coloring with the Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Pie, Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends. After die cutting it, I used it to pick out what designer paper pattern I wanted to use. I cut it down to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ matted it with Misty Moonlight at 4″ x 5-1/4″ and mounted it onto Early Espresso.

The die cut sleigh was glued at the bottom and popped up on the top half! I stamped the greeting in Misty Moonlight and die cut it, then added a bit of Bakers Twine to it before popping it up onto my card front. I added some of the adhesive backed snowflakes with an Iridescent Rhinestone on top to finish off the card.

The left over designer paper was added to the inside of the card. I also added a small strip of Misty Moonlight cardstock in there as well … just made the card look finished on the inside too. The designer paper in this suite is fabulous. The winter scenes are so pretty and the other side has great patterns you can use anytime throughout the year.

Don’t forget the Online Exclusives go LIVE tomorrow July 6th and you can take a look then on my website at http://www.lindaluvs.stampinup.net

I hope you enjoyed your holiday … and I thank you for stopping by today.
