Good morning!
It's a Christmas in July blog hop, Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps' style today! Korin has released a couple of new dies to match some stamp sets already available and coordinated a fun hop to show them off! All the details on the dies and stamps they coordinate with are at the bottom of my post.
My first card uses the beautiful Poinsettia stamp set with the new Poinsettia die. I stamped the image on the die cut and colored only the leaves. Then, I stamped the image again on some red patterned paper from a Basic Grey paper pack, did a bit of shading with some red copics and then trimmed the flower and popped it up on the leaves.
I colored the white doily with a memento dew drop and used an impression plate to emboss the vellum overlay. I thought the new Doily border die was perfect to edge the red paper on the bottom of the card. I love our new doily dies!
My next card has a 'nordic Christmas' feel to me with the blues and woodgrain. I used the beautiful Vintage Ornaments along with the coordinating Ornaments dies. I stamped all the ornaments in the same color of Brilliance ink - it just looks differently on the woodgrain patterned paper (from Basic Grey) than on the white die cut. I embellished the ornaments with clear rhinestones and used some platinum shimmer baker's twine to 'hang' the ornaments.
