One of my favorite bundles in the upcoming 2017 Holiday Catalog that debuts on September 1st is on page 25. It may not stand out to you at first, because there are so many other wonderful products in this catalog and it's not featured in any of the suites. But if you are a fan of music, you see all the beautiful images and coordinating dies in this bundle, AND then you consider the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper that you can pair it up with on page 13, you will fall in love too!
Here are two "sister" note cards that I fancied up with these products. I've included measurements, directions and a product list for each card below. Note: The products from the Holiday Catalog will not be available until September 1st, so those are listed separately above the other products.
Measurements for the French Horn Card:
- Whisper White Note Card cut down a bit or Whisper White Thick Cardstock: 7" x 4-1/2" scored at 3-1/2"
- Basic Black Cardstock: 4-1/4" x 3-1/4"
- Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper: 4" x 3"
- Silver Foil Sheet: 3" x 3"
- Bermuda Bay Cardstock: 2-1/8" x 3/4"
- Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon: about 2"
- Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon: about 2"
Directions for the French Horn Card:
- Sponge the designer paper with Bermuda Bay ink. (Use a circular motion to apply the ink so the color is smooth.)
- Attach the designer paper to the Basic Black cardstock.
- Trim ends of Bermuda Bay cardstock strip and the two ribbons as shown. Attach them to the upper right corner of the designer paper piece. Trim the overhanging ends and attach this all to the front of the Whisper White card base.
- Die-cut the French horn and attach to the card with Mini Dimensionals.
- Add 3 rhinestones.

Directions for the Treble Clef Card:
- Attach the 4-1/8" x 3-1/8" Bermuda Bay cardstock to the Whisper White card base at an angle.

- Die-cut the treble clef from the Silver Foil Sheet, peel off the adhesive backing sheet, and attach the treble clef to the upper right corner of the designer paper.

Thank you for this inspiration, Rachel. I am a musician in addition to being a fellow demo and I bought this set right away. Have not had a chance to get this inked up yet, but now you have inspired me to get going and explore the possibilities. Yay! Love your ideas.
Glad you were inspired, Kathy. I loved the Bermuda Bay sample in the catalog so much. I stuck with that color combo for these. But I hope to move beyond and come up with an idea for my personal Christmas cards using this bundle and the papers. Gotta love that the papers are in Black and White, too!
Beautiful! I wasn’t sure I’d like the black background dsp, but the way you sponged it changes everything for me. Thank you!
Yay! Glad you liked my idea, Kathy!
