Holiday Expressions Blog Hop

Welcome to our blog hop highlighting new products from the CTMH Holiday Expressions. If you just came from Maureen OSullivan's blog, you're on the right path.  You can see the complete list on Melinda Everitt's blog.
I always seem to order my favorite items first, so I decided to show a couple of those. I love the new winter themed papers of "Oh, Deer." I paired them with new Christmas stamps, fibers, snowflake dies, and a snowflake embossing folder, all new! Here are the first results:

Both cards have gold embossed sentiments from Very Merry Holiday. I enjoyed using the new snowflake die to cut the open design. I think it's easier to place dies where you want them than to try to cut a card like this using the Cricut.

The second card has the sentiment stamped and embossed on vellum from the Uptown Fundamentals paper pack. The shiny embossed woodgrain seemed to fit perfectly with the pine paper from the Oh, Deer pack. The cricut pinecone and branch were cut using Cricut Flower Market, using Cocoa, Chocolate, and Sea Glass cardstock. The shiny mat is Sea Glass glitter paper.

My last project was quick and simple. I need a lot of Christmas gift tags, so I stamped pine branches and the pine cones from the Perfectly Pine stamp set and embossed the sentiment from A Child Is Born. I tied them with three different fibers. The white and gold twine and the black shimmer ribbon are my favorites.

The 2.5" x 4" tags were stamped with New England Ivy and Cocoa. Two of them have additional background branches stamped with Sea Glass.

Thank you for visiting! Now you're ready to see Jennifer Dykstra's creation.
