Fireplace Shaped Die Holiday Mantle Scene Card with Nancy

Hi everyone, Nancy here. It's that time of the year again when we start planning out holiday cards! Christmas is my favorite season to send handmade cheer to those I love.  Let's take a closer look at the Fireplace Shaped die set. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fireplace Shaped Die Holiday Mantle Scene Card by Nancy Damiano

I created this card starting with a white fireplace background. This gave me a nice, clean slate to work on. To decorate, I began with the inside of fire pit and created a bold, colorful look with "bricks" in aqua tones and gray. Next, I stamped the sentiment in the upper right hand corner of the mantle. The flames and logs were layered in the center of the fire pit and give the card a touch of warmth. A few red stocking were hung with care, some with candy cane treats (from the Playful Polar Bears stamps) and an enamel heart. A sprig of holly stamped from the Christmas Icons set finishes off the card.

Polar Playmates Winter Scene Christmas Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'll be using the new Polar Playmates stamp set to create a Christmas Winter scene. This new set is so super adorable with all the polar animals of course I had to use this one first.

To begin my card today I stamped, coloured in my images with Copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I then cut down a piece of watercolour paper, using a stitched rectangle die and ink blended some Distress Ink over top. I used Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean. Going darkest on the bottom and fading to white to the top. I then splattered some water on top, picked it up with paper towel and dried it with a heat tool. I really love the reaction with water Distress Inks give!

Next I used some black ink to stamp the 'Sealiously' sentiment first onto the bottom of my panel, then used Versamark ink to stamp the 'Hoping You Have A' and 'Merry Christmas' sentiments on the top and bottom of the other sentiment. Then white heat embossed them. I then used foam tape behind my images and adhered them onto my panel. To complete my card I used fun foam to adhere to the back of my panel and then some striped patterned paper to adhere onto a card base and that finished up my card for today.

I hope you enjoyed and are loving the new release as much as I am. The whole team will be sharing projects using the new products this week, so make sure you check back for inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll catch you next time.
