Santa Arrives by Hot Air Balloon? Who Knew?

I'm not sure what happened, but 2 different designers created paper sets with Santa delivering gifts from hot air balloons. Fine by me...
 

The Delivery Scrapbook Paper
Double-sided sheet with a beautiful red rose border and 2 fun images of Santa arriving via hot air balloon. The back has the words to "The little drummer boy" in an ornate script.

Making A List Scrapbook Paper
Double-sided sheet with a green sheet music border and 2 corner vignettes of making a wishlist or a little bird delivering an ornament to his birdhouse (among red & white roses). The back has a snowflake pattern against green. Snippet from a beautiful Christmas card/envelope set by Design Team Member Teri Calia, also using words and images from the Holiday Words & Cards collage sheet and Mini Vintage Rub-Ons - Red.

A Candy Party Scrapbook Paper
Another double-sided sheet with a roses, leaves & gumdrop candy border and a candy-decorated dress form. The back has a hot pink snowflake pattern.

Glittered Poinsettia Spray
Wired spray of mulberry paper leaves and flowers (and wired curly tendrils) with a bit of gold glitter. Approx. 11" long. Just a couple of the blossoms were used on the Slide Mailer at far left, by Design Team Member Teri Calia, also using an Ornate Plate and text from the Holiday Words & Cards collage sheet.

Father Christmas Collection:
6x6 Paper Pad,
Punchouts and
Three 12x12 Papers (all double-sided):
- Air Mail
Santa delivering toys via hot air balloon. Polka dot pattern on the back.
- Around the World
Lots of vintage Santas in round dots (inner diameter of the dots is 1-1/2"). Red and white snowflake pattern on the back.
- Trading Cards
Vintage Santas images in ATC size. Green snowflake/faded text pattern on the back.

Panorama Transportation Scrapbook Paper
Double-sided sheet with hot air balloons, cars, ships, biplanes and velocipedes in sepia brown. Plaid pattern on the back. (It's not Christmas-y but I'm in the balloon mood.)

Noel 2-Sheet Paper Set
Two 12x12" double-sided, heavy sheets, with a rich damask print in red and gold (not metallic gold). (And polka dots and numbers 1-25.) Artwork by Design Team Member Teri Calia, also using images from the British Queens #2 and Holiday Disguises Collage Sheets and one of the new Red Mini Roses.

Noel Ribbon Set
3 printed grosgrain ribbons (1 yard of each)

Pink to Red Mini Roses
24 roses on wired stems, 8 each of 3 colors. There's a bit of a coral-hue to the pinks.

Red & Green Rhinestones
88 pieces in 2 colors (and 2 sizes). Adhesive backed.

Red Sheer Dots Ribbon
1/2" wide sheer red ribbon, printed with either red or white polka dots.

Martha Stewart Glitter
Carnelian or green agate. The jars are like salt shakers (with a rotating top to allow just a little to come out, or more, or none). 1.5 ounce jars (which is a fair amount; the jars are 3-1/4" tall).

Christmas Borders Clear Stickers
11 borders, 12" long.

A Visit from Santa Rubber Stamp
Wood-mounted only.

Handmade Rubber Stamp
Perfect for labelling gifts. Also wood-mounted only.

Sheet Music Rubber Stamp
A nice, big stamp for background texture (just a portion is shown here). Unmounted only.

More than 100 Santa stickers on an ivory stock; perfect for labelling gifts (most have a space for adding the recipient's name).

4 Sheets of Santa Scraps:
- Santa & Reindeer,
- Small Red Santas,
- Santa & Trains and
- 10 Santas
All are 6" x 9" sheets; die-cut, embossed and imported from Germany.

 
Miscellaneous

Hocus Pocus Clear Cards
6 heavy acetate cards (with rounded corners), printed with metallic inks. And they're exactly twice the size of an ATC, so just one would make great front and back covers for a little ATC booklet. They coordinate with the Witching Hour and Good Fortune scrapbook papers.

Wings of Desire Rubber Stamp
Really large stamp (7" wide), designed by Michael deMeng. Wood-mounted only.

Blingage Silver Book Plates
3 frames; fairly heavy. Similar frames in raw brass.

Wonderfall Fabric Ribbons
Fun designs in an Autumn palette with a bit of back-to-school feel (measuring tape, sunflowers, school house, forks & spoons, globe, etc.). 5 different widths (from 5/8" to 2-3/8"). Printed on cotton with a stabilizer on the back (so they won't fray - at least not as much as raw muslin). One has a scalloped edge; one has a pinked edge (zig-zag like pinking shears).

Resin Blossoms
3D flowers in cream or a pretty green (like the leaves of a jade plant).

Long Lucite Leaves
Matte lucite leaves in celery and cranberry colors. The center of the leaf is slightly "dented" (3D). 12 x 28mm.

Organza Ribbon Roses -
2 New Colors

Beautiful organza roses on a soft net backing. New colors: red and turquoise (really nice, dark, saturated colors).
