Hello and Welcome, if your started at another site it was most likely Rose Parker or if your started here, then you’re in for a treat with the ESAD 2017 Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop.
I know I am always excited to get a new catalogue into my hands and check up all the new stamps and dies. I decided to only go with one stamp set and show you just how versatile it could be.
I chose to use traditional colours of green and red, however I have been using non traditional at others times and will blog them later for you.
The set I used is called Every Good Wish, which is a very versatile one, let’s go look.
For this one I used the Be Merry and white embossed onto Real Red cardstock, cut out with the lots of Labels Framelit then mounted onto a piece of Whisper White cardbase that had been embossed with the Holly Embossing folder that had the leaves and berries coloured with markers before being put through the sizzix machine. See the result below.
Again I used the Holly embossing folder but this time on old olive card stock, stamped the Peace Love and Joy on a piece of Whisper White and then cut out with the Lots of Labels Framelits, cutting an extra on in Real Red, cut in half and mount onto the back, then used markers to colour the holly and berry’s on the top and bottom of the sentiment.
Carried the small berry and holly inside of the card.
Who has had a play with the embossing paste? Its so much fun and super easy to use, so used this as the background of the card and then just stamped and cut out oval using the layering ovals.
I then mounted the Red onto White and then mounted onto a old olive card base.
Now who doesn’t need a take to put on that special present at Christmas, use your Decorative Label punch, and your oval dies, little stamp and its done.
I do hope you enjoyed my cards and now your off to see what Jessie has made for you.
