It’s Here, it’s here!

The wait is finally over!

This post will let you know how you get the catalog and a run down of some of the wonderful things in it!
Instead of posting a description of the new goodness, I though I’d share some cards featuring new product!  These cards were from the A Muse Studio convention and designed by the talented A Muse designers.

Easy peasy gift bags

In only a couple minutes, I was able to take a plain gift bag and make it a bit more special by using the butterfly trio dies to cut areas on the bag and then I adhered some Venetian patterned cardstock in bellini, lido, and burano to the inside of the bag.  Little pops of color!  To finish things off, I punched two holes for the ribbon and used two types of ribbon.  Easy peasy, done and out the door in no time.

All supplies are A Muse. 

Tomorrow the 2012 catalog will be released!  Excited?  I know I am!

Christmas Cards

Here’s an assortment of cards that I made.  I needed to make 20 cards in one day for my mom so I chose to limit my choice in supplies and keep it clean and simple. 

All items are A Muse|Studio.

Warm wishes!
