OK I'm back!
Here are some stamp sets info:
3 sets in total are being released - Build A Holiday, Christmas Sentiments and Christmas Card Verses.
All the sets come in a CD tin for storage. They're unmounted rubber stamps with EZmount cling foam attached. The images come on 2 sheets in the tin that need to be cut out prior to using.
You need acrylic blocks to be able to stamp the images - I highly recommend these 2.5" and 3.5 " round blocks - they have gridlines etched into them (so they won't wear off!), are comfy to hold and the 3.5 will fit ALL the stamps in these 3 sets - the 2.5 will fit a lot of them - just a couple of the verse stamps and longer sentiments won't fit so you would need the 3.5.
(pictured is the 3.5" round block)

Build A Holiday: 30 stamps in the set.
Christmas Sentiments: 24 stamps.
Christmas Card Verses: 14 or 15 stamps (depending if one verse is cut apart to use separately - see sample below)
The sets will be sold at AllThatScraps for $15 each or you can get all 3 sets for $40 and save $5!!

Now for a couple more samples:
I used patterned papers from Flair Designs Holly Jolly collection and stamped the ornaments from the Build A Holiday set onto the striped paper - then punched them out with circle punches.
*Tip - the 3 circles in the set co-ordinate with a 1 3/8", 1 1/4" and 1" Circle Punch - so you don't have to cut out each one by hand if you have the punches!
I stamped the toppers onto vanilla cardstock, then colored them in with Copics before cutting them out. I used my handheld 1/16" punch to punch holes inside the circles (or you could just pierce them with a paper piercer) to run the gold cord through.
I taped the ends of the cords to the back of the ornaments, attached the ornaments to the card with dimensionals, then taped the opposite ends of the cords to the back of the patterned paper with tape.
It was hard to capture the shimmer on camera but I used my Gold Spica pen on the ornaments and on the scripty part of the verse so it's all shimmery!
This is the verse I've been mentioning that can be cut apart - it's meant to be just one stamp but it works well as 2 separate stamps - it's up to you how you want to use it!

This post is getting to be a lot longer than planned LOL - I'll share the other card I made later on tonight or early tomorrow.
Don't forget I'll be in the ATS forum in a couple of hours (8pm est!) to chat!! I am so excited about this release and can't wait till you all can see the sets in full!! :D
