I'm Back from the Land of the Mouse!

I've been MIA for a little over a week but I'm back with Sharon's Saturday video recap. It turns out Sharon was a very busy grandma this past week. She and Mark had Manny as a houseguest and I'm sure they enjoyed every minute of his stay. That said there was no video on Wednesday and Sharon wasn't able to prep much for this weekend. 

Let's get started with AAll and Create. They have their own version of a postage stamp die set. While similar to Waffle Flower's and others, it has that slightly distressed edgy border that they do best.


They have two sizes.

Also new is this pine cone embossing folder from Tonic.
Alao from Tonic is this tag die set.

Sizzix makes this holiday collection of cardstock papers. Check out all the colors in this pack in the next photo.

Here is a new Christmas pattern paper collection. These papers are two sided.
We have a new release from Waffle Flower.
These are stitched frames that fit an A2 card. They will also neat inside each other. 
This is the same design but for an A6 size card.
Another Waffle Flower postage stamp stencil, this time with fall images.
A new scarecrow die set.
A haystack die.
Blessed in lower case with a shadow.
Oops! I can't read this one.
'Autumn' with shadow
A large sunflower die with matching stencil.

Individual layered sunflowers.
Pumpkin background die.
Small pumpkin and leaves dies
We have this cute pocketbook die back in from Divinity Designs.

Also new from Divinity Designs are the following dies and stamp sets. This North Star is first.
This stitched modern Christmas tree is one of the dies Sharon will be incorporated into Christmas stamp camp.
We have a series of stamps with spiritual sentiments.



We also have these paper packs with 'stained glass' images for fall and Christmas also from Divinity Designs.




We also have two new toner foils, clear and gold sparkles in the photo below,


We also have these luscious ink colors from Picket Fence. The colors include are gold, bronze, red and green. We also have a restock of feathered brushes that are great to use with these inks for splattering.


Picket Fence stamps are up next. This first stamp can help you to organize and know your ink supplies. You can create a tag for every ink you own that will show you the color, the manufacturer, wether you have a pad, a cube and a refill.
It may be hard to see but this is a Santa die. Check out the picture in the upper right of the package.
This is a great plaid background die.
This poinsettia die has a border piece and a removable center that can be used together or separately.
This is an A2 solid piece of polymer. Sharon uses it to do stenciling. It will hold both your paper and your stencil in place.
Another die, this one an acorn die.
A Santa gnome, Ho, Ho, Ho!
A great multi font selection of holiday words and phrases.
Next up is possibly the last release from IO - Impression Obsession. I was very saddened to hear from Sharon that they are closing down at the end of the year. IO has produced many of my favorite stamps and dies. I'll miss them. First up in this release is photos of samples you can create using the following products. If they can't send card samples photos are the next best thing. We will have these on display in the store.

Heart dies
Stockings
Words - dies that IO does best.
A great Merry Christmas 
A gingerbread person
One of Sharon's favorites, a primitive snowman.
Sharon's all-time favorite is this snowman from IO.
Last up is Penny Black. They make wonderful sentiment stamps for both the inside and outside of your cards. They have multiple sets for almost every occasion you can think of. I use mine every Christmas for the sentiment inside my cards. Check out all these new collections.




Last up is the pumpkin die Sharon use last week for her Wednesday video along with some of her finished cards.




While I loved spending time with my BFF in the Happiest Place on Earth, I could not handle the heat! I've never been so glad to experience a Buffalo fall. Also, you know how you think there must be certain times of the year when the parks are not that crowded? WRONG! The crowds were HUGE! I wish I had a Disney funny for you, only this one with a 'hot' element.
I'm happy to be back and looking forward to starting my Halloween cards. Happy Crafting everyone and Stay Safe.
