I have a few cards to share today so I’ll dive right in!

May Your Home Be Filled With All The Joys Of The Season

My first card features the Magic Burst Hot Foil Plate and the Winter Crocus Stamp & Die & Stencil Bundle. I stamped the floral image in Permanent Black onto white cardstock and then used the stencils and a combination of yellow, pink, and green inks to ink blend the flowers and leaves. I used the coordinating die to cut out the image and then used foam tape to adhere the image to a background panel that I created by foiling the Magic Burst Hot Foil plate in gold foil. To finish, I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set and then glued the card front to a card base.

May Your Days Be Merry Merry Merry & Bright

My second card features the Winter Typography Stamp & Die Set and Dotted Pinwheel stamp set. I stamped the Merry sentiment three times using Coral Bliss, Pink Pearl, and Sunkissed inks and then used foam tape to adhere them to a panel I stamped with the Dotted Pinwheel background stamp (in Pink Pearl). I stamped the smaller sentiments in black ink and then adhered the card front to a dark pink card base.

Happy Holidays, Have a Magical Holiday Season!

My final card today features the Festive Tree Stamp & Die Bundle. I stamped the tree in two shades of pigment ink from the Glacier Caves Pigment Ink Bundle and then used the coordinating die to cut it out. I stamped the sentiments in black ink and used the coordinating die to cut out the larger sentiment. I also used a star from the stamp set to cut from silver cardstock.

I adhered the tree, sentiments and star to a background made by blending Distress Oxide inks (Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac, and Wilted Violet) onto a panel of Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock. To finish, I used foam tape to adhere the card front to a card base.
