Welcome to the JANUARY 2023 "VERY Last Chance + Sneak Peeks" Blog Hop!!! We generally hop on the first day of every month, and this month the focus will be projects using products from the Last Chance List* (last day to order is Jan 4th), and/or Sneak Peeks using products from the upcoming 2023 Jan-Apr Mini Catalog and 2023 Sale-a-Bration promotion (BOTH will debut January 5th). I am featuring the soon Retiring Yeti to Party. *Products from the Last Chance List are available through January 4th, or while supplies last, so some products may already be sold out. {scroll to the bottom of this post for ALL product purchase links} Right now you can get a screamin' deal on the Yeti to Party Stamp Set, Yeti Dies, Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems, Whimsical Woodland Embossing Folder, and Snowfall Accents Puff Paint that I used on this card. Everything except the Yeti Dies are in the Last Chance Products section of My Online Store, and the dies are on the Clearance Rack. Normally you'd pay $68 to get all those supplies, but right now you can get them for more than HALF OFF, at $27.20 for the lot! Scroll down below the Blog Roll on this post to click the links that will take you to these products in my store. It's kind of hard to see in the picture below, but the white part of the mountains, the yeti's body, the snowflakes, and even the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint all have a faint shimmer from the Clear Wink of Stella Brush. I also used some Blender Pens with the Balmy Blue Ink Pad to color in the tops of the mountains, and with the Soft Suede Ink Pad, to color in the hot cocoa cup, and to add some color to highlight the yeti's face and feet. I also used it to go over the little embossed marks on the scarf, but that's hard to see in this light. I held my Paper Snips open and used them like a hobby blade to slice around the yeti's paw so I could tuck the hot cocoa cup under it. Another one thing I'd like to point out on the close-up below, is the wrinkle marks around the edges of the die cuts. I loaned out my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, so I had to use my old Big Shot with these dies...that's what left the wrinkle marks! If you have not yet purchased the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, it works SOOOO much better - with the embossing folders, as well. It's totally worth getting. (But you might want to wait until January 5th, when you can choose a free item for every $50 you spend, during Sale-a-Bration.) The Yeti to Party Stamp Set is great for winter themed projects, because it's not totally about Christmas. A picture of the stamp set is below. You can easily trim apart the photopolymer stamps to rearrange the greetings to say things like: "is it your birthday Yeti?", or "winter wishes & hugs", or "birthday wishes". And you can see the images aren't all just about Christmas, either. I love the little hot cocoa cup. I can't share the insides of the 2023 Jan-Apr Mini Catalog, or the 2023 Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration Brochure with you yet. Come back to my blog to grab your digital copies on January 5th! In the meantime, I can share the catalog and brochure cover, and some of the goodies I pre-ordered.
