This can be done by hosting a party, or by purchasing the qualifying amount on your own. There are so many beautiful projects in the new holiday catalog, I'm sure it will be easy to earn this set!

Let's take a closer look at what I've made with the Merry Patterns stamp set:
I chose two different packs of designer series paper (DSP) to coordinate with today's cards - Be Merry DSP from the Annual Catalog and Merry Music Specialty DSP from the Holiday Catalog.
This first card is rather a simple look with a few layers of DSP and cardstock. The deer was stamped in Crumb Cake Ink and cut out with a large oval from the Layering Ovals Frameltis.
I love the music paper peeking from behind.
The next card I was very pleased with. I started by stamping the "tis' the season" sentiment in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped it again on scrap paper to create a mask. (Tip: Use thinner paper, like computer or notebook paper, for best results.). With the mask, I was able to add the pine needles and candles.
I elongated the largest square framelit from the Stitched Shapes Framelits by running the framelit through twice (but not all the way through).
My favorite card of the three showcases my favorite stamp - the deer! My father is a big hunter and deer images always remind me of him. I used the outlined deer to create a simple background. I then stamped the same image onto Crumb Cake Cardstock and fussy cut the image with my Paper Snips.
I incorporated the same DSPs from the other two cards along with some embellishments. The Boxwood Wreaths Embellishments have been very popular and the new Black Rhinestone Jewels I think will be well received too!
I hope this set gets you excited for the new catalog! Be sure to take advantage of this exclusive promotion! It's a great time to host a party and get a start to your holiday cards and creations!
Next up is the lovely Jennifer Sootkoos from New Jersey! I am anxious to see what she's created too! As always, below you can find the list of design team members and items used. Please hop around, leave some love and pin your favorites!
