Happy shipping day! December's Stained Glass collection has already been fetching a lot of enthusiastic comments after our spoiler video was released on YouTube last week. We are SO excited for you to get it into your hands and see it "in real life"! Our staff is still recovering from indulging in Thanksgiving festivities, so it will be a good day to be on our feet packing and shipping boxes.
December Collection
Color Palette
In case you missed it, watch the unboxing of the entire collection on YouTube.
What's Ahead?
We'll be ringing in the New Year before we know it, and you'll be happy to welcome January's Northwoods kit into your home. You're going to love the palette of cool colors and nature-inspired artwork neutral enough to be a background for any photo in your stash. No snow will be found on these branches, so no worries if you're not a fan of the white stuff like we are in Wisconsin!
Fonts and Inks
All of the text elements in this month's collection were created with the Public City Elegant Classic (paid) Font Duo. If you're looking for colors to complement the December palette, I recommend Lagoon, Red and Yellow CS® Hybrid ink, and India Ink. Our CS® White Pigment Ink contrasts nicely with the Black paper as well.
Enjoy a quick review of the collection below. For a more detailed look, visit my spoiler post.

Join our rapidly growing card kit membership, and you'll quickly learn how to improve your skills and expand your card structure repertoire. It's a busy time of year, so I'm featuring very simple structures with easy folds that will still WOW your recipients! I love this sweet tent card accented with the thinline Dazzles we're including in the box.
I've also constructed a fresh design of the double Z fold card in the 5x7" size. You're going to love this hearty card that stands easily on its own and has plenty of room for the artwork to shine.
Stamps
We love how Jacqueline created this clever stained glass frame with its very own "window" to showcase any of the sentiments on the sheet. The image is at the perfect scale for a standard sized card base with a few layering mats. Stamp and explore fun techniques with markers, embossing inks, ColorBursts, watercolors, and more! It's time to dust off all your art mediums and play. Julie got a head start and will share her inspiring ideas soon on the blog!
