The Woodlands TIEF (Textured Impressions Embossing Folder) has been a huge hit from the holiday catalog – there are projects all over the blogosphere and Pinterest like this:

Welcome to the November RemARKable Blog tour. We’re featuring Holiday Bundles this month, and I know the other artists on the tour will have great inspiration for you.
For my part, I have two simple cards that could be produced in quantity – and since it’s nearly mid-November, simple is a plus! First up is the Jingle All the Way Bundle:
The ornament concept isn’t my original idea – it’s all over Pinterest – but this combination is mine. Using the watercolor paper with the ink refill allows more depth and variety in the Night of Navy background.
My second bundled project features the Peaceful Pines bundle:
If you take a look at page 16 of the Holiday Catalog, you’ll see the inspiration for this card. Since my first card used a watercolor technique, I chose to use Designer Series Paper (DSP) for this one.
I hope you’re inspired – and I’m sure there is more inspiration coming your way. The tour links are featured at the end of the blog, but if you click on the image below you’ll be off to see Heather Mathieson! Thanks for your visit.

Weekly Deals this week are just the thing for Holiday projects:
You need that Festive Flower punch! Shop HERE.
And here are the DEALS for this week!
Have you tried the Decorative Masks? There are so many uses for them. Shop HERE.
I love the look of coloring directly on the rubber:
That’s one of the best things about these little calendars – they’re small enough that I don’t mind putting in the extra effort to do something special like coloring on the stamps.
Stamps are from For All Things and colors are Blackberry Bliss, Real Red, Tangerine Tango and Crushed Curry. And you could do this in a heartbeat.
Check out more November calendars by visiting Cheryl and Crystal.
And if you want to, there’s still time to get your own 2016 DIY Easel Calendar Kit!
You may choose your kit either with easel or without. Prices include shipping for one kit; please contact me for shipping costs of multiple kits.
Email me at AnneMatasci (at) gmail (dot) com with your choice of kits, email address and shipping address. I’ll send you an invoice via SQUARE and when we’re all Squared up (ha ha ha, I crack myself up) I’ll ship your kit! Details HERE
There aren’t a lot of trick-or-treaters in my neighborhood so I can afford to have some fun:
If you follow the Maui Stamper, you’ll remember I made these HERE.
These are very similar, using the Pillow Box Framelits, the Howl-o-ween stamps, the Boo to You Thinlits and the Woodlands TIEF – but I used retired DSP for the back and some retired ribbon as well.
I really did use up all of my Happy Haunting DSP!
The fun thing is that with the window on the front (it’s one of the options with the framelit set) you can see the reverse side of the DSP when the treats are gone. As if the local 6-year-olds will care, but it makes me happy to know it’s there.
