Deck the Hall Holiday Ornament Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Deck the Halls Stamps.

For my first card today, I started by cutting an A2-sized panel using the snowflake patterned paper from the Joyful Holidays Paper pack. I layered a Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Die cut from red cardstock with a Scalloped Oval Mat 2 Die over the top, cut from white cardstock. I then attached a garland across my card, created with Tim Holtz "Pine Twine" from my stash. I threaded narrow Offray red satin ribbon through each die-cut opening for the snowman, penguin, and polar bear ornaments from the Deck the Halls Stamps, and added some bows over the top with liquid adhesive. Lastly, I heat-embossed a customized greeting using our new Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps on the Brilliant Banner 2 Dies, which I had inked to look like a black chalkboard color to match my penguin.

For my second card using the Deck the Halls Stamps, I started by stamping the tree branches from the Classy Christmas Stamps with Versamark ink onto black cardstock, before taking turns sprinkling them with Ranger Leaf Green & Fern Green Embossing Powders. I first stamped and embossed them all in one color, leaving space between them so I could go back and stamp another branch to heat emboss in the alternating color. When I was done, I heat-embossed the greeting from the set with white embossing powder. I also added a scalloped edge along the bottom of my panel using a border from the Slimline Pennant Dies. I then loosely laid out where I wanted my ornaments to go and drew straight lines for the strings using a ruler with a white gel pen before adhering the ornaments with liquid adhesive. Lastly, using a print from the All is Bright Paper pack, I added a candy cane striped patterned paper to contrast with the scalloped edge at the bottom of my card.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
