Basket of Wishes (Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek)


And now for something completely different. I've been on a Christmas kick the past week and a half.....can't help myself. There are so MANY awesome sets in the new Holiday Catalog, and it's my favorite holiday!!! That being said, my favorite times of year are Spring and Fall (mainly because of the "Goldilocks" weather, lol), and there are some great stamp sets and bundles that cover Autumn, as well as New Year's and just Winter in general.

This is one of the Fall-themed sets, called Basket of Wishes. As you can see, there is a variety of baskets, and basket fillers, as well as sentiments to cover many occasions.

The Duet Banner Punch was used to punch a mat to back the banner, and the banner itself was fussy-cut close to the lines, instead of just punching it out.


I'll tell you what; I was wishing there was a punch for that bunch of squash! Fussy-cutting those squash tendrils out of watercolor paper was a pain in the arse fingers. Next time, I'll mask the squash and stamp the basket under it. Live and learn, right?

Oh, I almost forgot...those lovely gold dots are White Perfect Accents, colored with an oil-based gold Sharpie. Pretty neat-o how you can make them just about any color you want.
