Holiday Expressions Book - Sneak Peek 1

Many of you are waiting impatiently for the release of the new Holiday Expressions Book from Close to My Heart and I have a few little sneak peeks for you to make the waiting time a bit easier ;-) The book will go live on September 1st. 

Well, let's start with this super cute cover picture. Aren't these little houses adorable? Interested in a class to create these three houses? Well, let me know and I see if I can fit you into my schedule. Not living close? Well, contact me to see how we can get you a kit to do it at home.

So what's so special about the upcoming Holiday Expressions book? As you might have noticed the annual Idea Book contains the big fundamental paper packs which cover each color category of the ink pallet. 
Each Seasonal Book on the other hand contains a great mixture of design paper packs that are only available for a limited time (usually for 4 months). The Holiday Seasonal Book includes a special paper pack for fall, Halloween and Christmas/ Festive.

The next two weeks I will give you some sneak peeks of the new papers, stamps and more. Today we start with some of the card making and page making kits and workshops:

Here is a wonderful example of the new "Kind Thoughts" (G1140) cardmaking kit. The kit comes loaded with papers, bases and envelopes, a special stamp set only available in the kit and some embellishments. To archive the embossing part, you should get the Rose Embossing Folder (Z3343) with the kit.

Here is the "Happy Day" (G1139) cardmaking kit which uses some of the fall papers in the book. This kit also contains a special stamp set unique to this workshop. Papers, card bases and envelopes and embellishments. This set also uses the brand new "Leaves Embossing Folder" (Z4031). 

.... and here are some examples of pages you can create with the Workshop Your Way Scrapbooking Kits in this Seasonal Book.

Looking for some Halloween inspired pages? Take the "Cats & Bats" (G1136) Scrapbook Kit for example and get spooky

                                                       

Too many pumpkin, fall and turkey pictures? Then try this gorgeous "Falling for You" (G1135) Scrapbook Kit 

And then there are all those many snow and Christmas pictures we take, right? This "Beary Christmas" (G1137) Scrapbook Kit might be just what you need then...

and last but not least, how about some festive papers? If Gold and silver foiled, blacks and grays papers are just what you need, then the "Silver & Gold" (G1138) Scrapbooking Kit is what you need. 

While these are only examples of what you can do with these kit, there is so much more to do with them. Even so they come with complete instructions, feel free to match them with your ideas and pictures. There are more kits in the new book than the ones shown, so make sure to check them all out :-)

Stay tuned for more paper, stamps and embellishments to come...
