Artichoke Sand Burgundy Thinking Hello & Sneak Peek

It’s Sunday and that means that today is the last full day for last minute holiday shopping. Tomorrow being Christmas Eve the stores will be closing at 6:00. I’m thinking that I forgot to get some stuff so I will need to go out today, most likely earlier rather than later. I have some serious crafting to get done today too. Will someone please be kind enough to remind me in August next year that I need to start making my holiday stuff? Thanks, it’s much appreciated!

Today I have some more sneak peeks of the 2013 Spring Catalog. Some stamps and and a new embellishment. For the base of my card I used a piece of Always Artichoke Card Stock. The background is my new fave the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder* on Sahara Sand. The strip of chevrons is stamped in Always Artichoke and Bravo Burgundy from the Oh, Hello Stamp Set*. The main image is from the Just Thinking Wood Mount Stamp. I stamped it twice, once in Bravo Burgundy and again in Always Artichoke and the Artichoke piece is cut out. Before I adhered it to the Burgundy piece I used one of the new Designer Builder Brads. The image in the middle is from the Itty Bitties Stamp Set, punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, and is stamped in Bravo Burgundy with an epoxy bubble on top. Both of the stamped pieces are mounted to each other and the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the chevrons form the Oh, Hello* set and Sahara Sand is becoming my neutral of choice lately. I hope you enjoyed today’s card and thank you for taking some time from your busy Holiday schedule to stop by! Have a great day!

  3. I agree with what Brenda said. As soon as I saw this card, that chevron stamped stripe looks fantastic with two color combinations! I ordered that stamp set last week and I can’t wait to try it!

  4. I agree, love the colors. The chevron stamp and your central image are certainly on my wish list! I really think you did an amazing job of putting it all together.

  6. Love this card Justin!! I have not seen the chevron stamps yet but wow you have certainly lined them up very neatly if each chevron is a separate stamp! I am in love with all the new things you have used here and those colours together are so rich.
