Christmas Trimmings Holly & Pine Cluster Be Merry Card with Eloise

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you all using the Christmas Trimmings set. I love Mendi's layering sets, they're so amazing and easy to use. I paired this set with the Merry Word die as well as the Festive Greetings stamp set.

To begin my card today I started off with stamping out all the layered pieces from the Christmas Trimmings stamp set. I used various Altenew Inks for this. Once they were stamped, I cut them out using the coordinating dies.

(Inks Used: Altenew - Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Grapevine / Bamboo, Parrot, Moss / Sand Dunes, Rocky Shore, Espresso)

Next, I took a piece of watercolour cardstock, cut it down to 4" x 4" and ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks in the centre. I flicked on some water and dried it off with a heat tool.

Lastly, I adhered all my images into the centre of the inked cardstock with foam tape. I then die cut out the 'Merry' word from black cardstock and adhered it into place and white heat embossed the 'Be' word from Festive Greetings onto more black cardstock, cut it out and adhered it into place as well. 

For a last finishing touch I adhered it onto a card base I had made with the Holiday Cheer Patterned paper pack

Thanks so much for stopping by today, see you next week!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Merry Christmas Cards with Isha Gupta

Hello everyone! It’s Isha Gupta here, and I am so excited to be here as a guest designer today. I’m sharing four cards with you all using the new release products. I used The Christmas Trimmings stamp set along with the coordinating dies Eskimo Kisses stamp set, Cable Knit embossing folder and the Santa's Stocking dies.

For my first card, I went for a CAS style. I created a mask using a heart shape, masked and sponged some distress inks to it. I then applied some snow through a stencil and let it dry.

Meanwhile, I stamped the cute images from the Eskimo Kisses stamp set and colored them in using Copic markers. I then cut them and adhered them to the card. I then stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Trimmings stamp set. Finally, I adhered three die cut snowflakes.

Still keeping the CAS style, I went for a complete watercolor card using the Christmas Trimmings stamp set. This set is so versatile, it has GORGEOUS layering stamps, which I will be sharing on a later card.

Here I simply stamped the pine needles and the berries using dye inks and watercolors. Love the effect on this one.

Since, I am enjoying both the stamp sets, I used them both here and created a watercolor scene.

This time I added a bit of embossing glitter to the pine needles. Love these cute Eskimo Kisses images :)

I decided to go for a shaped card as this Santa's Stocking die is just the perfect size. I die-cut it and then stamped, colored the girl image. I then run it through my big shot using the Cable Knit embossing folder.

I die-cut the rest of the layering parts using a light blue cardstock and adhered it to the stocking. I then stamped the holly leaves using all the three layers. The layering is amazing, it gives such a wonderful results.

I really love the new release as it is so super adorable and versatile too. I had so much fun playing with the both sets, even using them together on a card. Thank you Mendi for having me.
