Merry Mistletoe inspirations

in Cardmaking, Cards, Events, Techniques on 09/16/17

I had so much fun creating the Merry Mistletoe class in August!  Challenging myself to use only products from the annual catalogue was so difficult.  I had my products from the holiday catalogue but they weren’t available to you, the non demonstrators… Therefore, I couldn’t offer a class  with the holiday catalogue products.  Fast forward to now!  I’m beyond excited to share with you some of my new creations.  Hang on to your hats!  I’ve moved my crafting spot in a new location in my home and  I have been working really hard at organizing it to my liking!  So far, I am very pleased.  I find myself more productive!  Sometimes a smaller space that is beyond organized can inspire in more than one way!  I feel like these past couple of weeks have been a lot about organizing.  Enough with that!  I want to play… 🙂

I would like to take this opportunity to advise you of more changes.  In the next couple of weeks, you might see my blog transforming.  You will also start seeing my name changing from Kim Assaly to Kim McGillis.  My wedding day is fast approaching and I’m changing my name:)  I realize that this is a lot of work for me and a change for you!  This has been a longtime waiting moment that I am very excited about!

I have repeated the Merry Mistletoe class over and over in August and early September.  All my customers loved it!  Did you try the paste yet?  I had this aha moment where I wanted glitter paste.  Therefore, I added a full jar of dazzling diamonds in my paste.  And voila! dazzling paste!  It’s amazing!  I now have a full jar of dazzling paste available for all my Christmas projects.
The image below does not do justice!  You have to give it a try.

I have a special embossing paste bundle available for you, it includes:

1- Embossing Paste #141979

2- Palette knives #142808

3-  Pattern Party Decorative Masks #144103

4- And a surprise handmade project
