For the blog hop, I was assigned the new It's a Magical Season stamp set. I used it to make this layout of Jeffery's Christmas last year...he was super thrilled to get his laptop! :) {this first pic is a scan - the colors are truer in this image than in the photo images. Not sure why the camera didn't pick up the colors as well.}

On display in my living room. {Display racks available in my Etsy store, if interested.}

Title done with a portion of the 3x3 fancy tri fold card and the largest stamp in this set, Magical Holiday. Love this!

In addition, I used the sweet ornaments die from the Warm Holiday Fun stamp and die set.

Journaling stamps from Gift Card Sentiments and More Gift Card Sentiments. Name and date letters and tape/label strips from the new Just Simply Live stamp and die set. Love the font in this one!

Are you enjoying the sneaks this week? OH EM GEE there's so much to see!! If you haven't made a list yet, I suggest you get on that!! Remember also to leave a way to contact you if you want to be entered in the drawings this week. All righty then, for my assignment today I've used the 3x3 Fancy Tri-Fold Card and 3x3 Fancy Envelope dies. {Please note: the envie is sold invidually from the card and sentiments set.}

I love this little card. It makes the perfect gift enclosure or tag or gift card holder, just to name a few ideas. For my card, I turned the "fancy" edge to the inside and instead used the curly label on the straight side for the closure. The label barely tucks under the button to keep it closed.

Inside the card I've used this adorable sentiment from the From our Family to Yours stamp set. Emma drew these snowy letters herself - aren't they cute! :) And I love the ornament for the O.

And my envelope. Which, frankly, I like even better than my card. LOL Again using the curly label, sentiment from From Our Family to Yours set....

....and the embellishment turned out super pretty I think. I used DCWV textured metallic paper with the MCT Petal dies to make this shimmery holiday flower. 

Envelope from the back. I love the double sided paper so there is no need to make a liner piece. These papers are My Mind's Eye, Wild Asparagus from ages and ages ago.

Once again, you're gonna flip over this release if you haven't yet. Huge! Filled with fun from fall to freezing! {did you see what I did there? LOL} Be sure to check out the other designer blogs for tons more sneaks as well. Also, you can find lots of EXTRA sneaks on facebook!!!!

Today's focus is on the new set called Just Simply Live. Such a super fun set - comes with many sentiments in a fun font, as well as an adorable polaroid photo die that you're going to LOVE! Here's my 3D Wednesday project -- these little treat bags using two of the sentiments from that set. 

Here you can see the size comparison to a regular sized lunch sack. I was able to get 4 mini bags from one regular sized bag. 

From My Creative Time Inspiring Words Accents, I used the frame stamp on the curly label die with the candy stamp from new release, Treats for my Sweet and sentiment from Just Simply Live. Leaves are dies that come with the new Piles of Smiles set. Finished bags measure approximately 4 1/2 tall by 2 1/2 wide.

You guys are gonna have a tough decision to make if you have to pick and choose from this set. It will be hard not to get them all with such a huge release. They are all awesome! Thanks for coming by today. Be sure to check Emma's blog and facebook page to see tons more from this amazing release.
