Retro Christmas, Day Four!

Tonight's the night of the big release! Both sets, Retro Christmas and Retro Christmas Backgrounds will be releasing tonight at midnight, eastern time. We've got two more stamp sets to give away today, so make sure you comment at the end of this post.

Before we get to that, the design team and I have some Christmas projects for you, and they have SERIOUSLY outdone themselves! I know you'll be inspired. But first I wanted to show you my project.

I love to make tags. There's just something fun about working with a "mini" canvas. I originally started making the white and kraft tags, but then I wanted to make another accessory for gift wrapping, and I remembered these bows that I may a long time ago.

I did want to show you the pattern I stamped to create the bow. It's certainly one you could use when making cards!

On the other side it's just solid houndstooth.

If you are in Nashville or the Mount Juliet area, I'll be at The Scrap Room from 3-5 on Saturday making the above tags! Best of all it's free! I'd love to see some of my blog friends! 

And here's the pattern on the bow.

I think all of these patterns could be used well after Christmas!

I also have two videos to share with you showing how both sets work! There are lots of great interactive pieces!

And you have to see what the design team made. Seriously, I'm so inspired.

Karen

 All I can say is WOW. Karen used Retro Christmas and Retro Christmas Backgrounds to create these amazing patterns. She also used For the Love of Dots and Christmas Wonder. So many of these patterns are just genius, and I can wait to try several myself. I know you'll want to check out her blog for more details.

Dana

 Dana sure knows how to make a girl hungry! Besides being photographed so well, is this project not the cutest? I know I would be thrilled to receive this at Christmas. I love the pattern, the reindeer, the sentiment on acetate. I know I'll be checking out Dana's blog for more details. 

Paulina

 Are these not so cute? Not only could they be used for Christmas, but they would be really easily be adapted for Valentine's day! Wouldn't that be so cute! As usual Paulina has rocked the pattern using the houndstooth stamp from Retro Christmas Backgrounds. 

And now for our fabulous guest designers. I would like to personally thank them again for joining us this month! It's always such a thrill to see such talented ladies use our designs!

Christina MacLaren made the cutest frame featuring the reindeer! Such a cute accent to such a pretty frame!

Jackie Solomon made this super cute hot cocoa holder! Don't you just love the little scene she's created with the tree, sentiment and reindeer? So cute. 

Heather Pulvirenti's back again today showing color who's boss, and the effect is just breath taking. Isn't it so cute? I adore (I can't believe I'm, the non-pink girl, is saying this) that pink reindeer. Really, I love it Heather. 

We hope you feel inspired by all the projects, and I hope you'll join us tonight when we release the stamp set at midnight eastern time. I'll be back to announce the winners of stamp sets tonight at 11 eastern. 

But before we leave I did want to tell you one other thing about this release. We will have free shipping for US customers that spend $50 or more! Yea for free shipping. We'll still have our normal $4 flat rate for US customer and $6 flat rate for international customers. 

Leave a comment letting us know what your favorite handmade Christmas gift is, and we'll draw one winner to receive Retro Christmas. You have until 11pm eastern time.
