Last week I held Holiday Catalogue Launch Parties at my house, which included hands-on exploration of the new 2017 Holiday Catalogue products, creating two gorgeous projects, participating in games, winning prizes and more! Here's some glimpses from the event...

I love giving away new products for prizes. Here are the spot prizes I put together for the occasion: the Quilted Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, some of the Stitched Felt Embellishments, all wrapped up using the gorgeous Quilted Christmas 1/4" Ribbon.

Plus, everyone who attended an Holiday Catalogue Launch Party had multiple chances to put their name into a prize draw, which was drawn at the end. The winners received the fabulous Merry Little Labels stamp set and the lovely Merry Little Christmas 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, tied with a generous length of 7/8" Striped Ribbon.

Throughout the event, there was also time for creating with two fun make-and-take projects. One project was a pretty note card using the very popular Painted Autumn Suite...

Bundles: Painted Harvest + Leaf Punch Bundle (photopolymer: 146021). Ink: Lemon Lime Twist (144086), Early Espresso (126974). Card/Paper: Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (144613), Crumb Cake (121685), Whisper White (106549). Accessories: Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527), Linen Thread (104199). Tools: Banner Triple Punch (138292), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

The other project was two festive Christmas tags using the fabulous Quilted Christmas Suite...

Bundles: Christmas Quilt Stamp Set + Quilt Builder Framelits Dies (photopolymer: 146026). Ink: Garden Green (126973), Lemon Lime Twist (144086), Pool Party (126982). Card/Paper: Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper (144617), Lemon Lime Twist (144250), Pool Party (124391), Real Red (106578), Whisper White (106549). Accessories: Quilted Christmas 1/4" Ribbon (144620), Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine (124262). Tools: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (143263), Magnetic Platform (130658), Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (133324), Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (144108).

This tag has triangular tree stamped in Pool Party and Lemon Lime Twist, then die-cut using the Quilt Builder Framelits dies to get that gorgeous stitching. For the second tag, I used one of the sheets from the Quilted Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper that has a number of triangles over it, to die-cut in the same way as the first tag. Love that coordination!

I had such a fabulous time at the Holiday Catalogue Launch Parties and had some lovely feedback to say the same. I've also heard that there are a lot of well-thumbed and marked catalogues out there! Have you got yours?
