1st Christmas cards of the year! Sneak peeks of the new 2016 Holiday Catalog

Are we ready for this??? My Christmas Club is in full swing for the year--yes, already!--and these are some of the cards I prepped for everyone to make. They are all sneak peeks of stamps, papers and Framelits die-cuts in the 2016 Holiday Catalog!

I'm going to tease you a little today, because these can't be ordered by non-demonstrators until September 1st. OR--here's a thought--you could sign up to be a demo and get it NOW! It only takes 10 minutes to do and you get to pick out your ENTIRE Starter Kit. Click here for deets!

First thing I HAD to open up was the new Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and coordinating punch... SO cute! (Remember, I mentioned the matching Halloween version in this post). It was every bit as adorable as I thought it would be. I settled on the Gingerbread Man but I can't wait to use the other images in this set! The patterned papers are called Candy Cane Lane and wait until you see all the sheets--TOO fun.

I like to do a wide variety of styles at club, so there's something for everyone. This next card has a softer, vintage feel.

I made this card with the new Holly Berry Happiness and coordinating punch bundle. It's got incredible potential just with the stamp set, but when you add in a punch that can pop leaves and berries up and add bows, this is a home run! I know I'll use the punch constantly throughout the season to add little clusters of holly leaves to all sorts of tags, pages and projects.

The third card I made for Christmas Club is a bright, contemporary color scheme using another new bundle I couldn't wait to play with.

The new Hang Your Stockings stamp set and matching Christmas Stockings Thinlits rock my world... this card was unbelievably easy to make. Two stamps, one die cut, a couple of little accessories, and it was finished. I think if I was to choose just one new bundle for the year (don't make me choose just one!!) in terms of ease for mass producing Christmas cards, this would probably be it.

So there you go... a little tour of my first holiday cards of the season, a sneak peek of what's in store for you all, and an invitation. Will you take me up on it and join my team either as a hobbyist, just for fun, or to make a little dough? Now there's a true Christmas present! Let's chat.

You have made some cute examples from the Christmas catalog. I'm just now thinking about yet!

All are fun and great cards. I could see me making all three. The little gingerbread man is so cute and the peppermint candy paper is the best! Thanks for the sneak peek.

I really like the stocking card - looks like a wow, and the color combination is so festive. Thanks for the sneak peeks!
