Hi, crafty friends! I have some exciting news to share today! The brand new holiday/winter release from Purple Onion Designs is available for purchase. There are three different collections to choose from. The first one is from Stacey Yacula. Her collections are always well thought out and go brilliant with older collections. The second one is from Pei, who joined the POD illustrator crew last year. I never tire of Tofu and his friends, and this time, there are some penguin pals to add to the cuteness. Last, but not least, we have the Winterwood collection, illustrated by Holly Mabutas, who’s a brand new illustrator at Purple Onion. I’m starting with a card created with images from the newcomer, but I have more up my sleeve, both from her and the others, so watch out for that.

I stamped and colored my critters (Steve & Scarlett, Benjamin, Doug and Scarlett’s Tree) onto X-Press It blending card. I added my signature peachy wintertime sky color in the background, but I actually took a couple of sunset photos as I was getting home from work this afternoon, so maybe I’ll change up my color combos soon.

I stamped a sentiment from the older Holiday Messages Sentiment set using Parsley and Avocado inks from Concord & 9th. I found it difficult to stamp in a color that matched the green in my coloring, but layering this combo worked well. I adhered the panel onto an A6 (4 5/8  6 1/4″) card base I created from Stamper’s Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink, and my card was complete.

I used a lot of colors for this scene.

The entire Winterwood collection is available as a 30 % discounted bundle until Friday, November 14th 2024. There are 30 images in this collection, so there’s a lot to play with!!
