Today wraps up a week of Christmas samples made with Flourishes' October releases. I've been so immersed in Christmas lately, I've almost forgotten what month this is! I'm happy to say I'm in good shape in regard to my Christmas projects, though. Allow me to introduce. . .
Christmas Classics is a beautiful set with equally beautiful sentiments. My sample is colored with Copics and stitched onto BasicGrey Jovial designer paper.
I used a Martha Stewart branch punch on green and white patterned paper to create snowy twigs on which to rest the sentiment circle. The card is wrapped in rich velvet trim and ready to mail. A little extra postage will be required for this 5 1/4" square card, but I guess a few of these won't break the bank.
You'll swoon when you see what the team is sharing today. I did!
The New Release Bundle will be offered through October 22nd. 10% off when you purchase all three new sets. It's a good deal if you want them all!
Thank you for your time this week. Today is my birthday, and I'm going to celebrate it by having a relaxing weekend. I hope you all have a happy weekend, too!

Absolutely fabulous! Thanks for reminding me about punching twigs from patterned paper. I've done it before, but had forgotten. It works beautifully for Christmas things.

So very rich and beautiful. I just love the idea of only coloring the bow and ornaments. Very classy Leslie.
