For our hop today, we are featuring the BRAND NEW Carols of Christmas Stamp Set and the coordinating Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies.

The demonstrator preorder is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on a few new holiday products and start planning those holiday classes! Why not order yours today!
The first card I have to share is my favorite. It's not made with traditional holiday colors. Instead- I used a combination of Pink Pirouette, Whisper White and Crumb Cake. So pretty...especially when paired with silver!
The background layer was stamped using the Marbled background stamp. I then created a few more layers with coordinating colors.
See that gorgeous tree? I wanted an image that would pop off the card stock. Since there is no tree stamp in the Carols of Christmas stamp set- I made a faux chipboard piece instead. To create the faux chipboard tree, I first cut several trees from Pink Pirouette card stock. Next I adhered them together to create a thick tree. I then covered the entire front of the tree with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and sprinkled it with Silver Stampin' Glitter. The addition of the Pink Pirouette deer is the perfect finishing touch!
My next card doesn't have traditional Christmas colors either. This color scheme was simply Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso. The background on this card was created using the gorgeous Post Script background stamp.
Again- I created a faux chipboard tree for added interest.
I love the vintage feel that this card has. It's so pretty!
Want to see another fun Christmas card? Check this one out! It's definitely not created with the typical red and green as most Christmas cards are.
This color combination is super fun and is totally perfect for Christmas!

The Sheet Music background stamp fits in perfectly and the colors make me think of warm weather! Which is what I'm usually wishing for around the holidays as it gets super cold here in Michigan.
The Carols of Christmas Stamp Set and Card Builder Thinlits Dies are perfect for creating more than just cards! Here is a mini pizza box created using this gorgeous product suite. See that cute little star on top of the faux chipboard tree? The Subtles Enamel Shapes are the perfect tree topper! Way too cute!
For my last project- I actually created a card using traditional Christmas colors. For some reason it just didn't seem right to not share a traditional Christmas card. So here it goes....
This card features Tranquil Tide, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake. I must admit I'm pleasantly surprised at how gorgeous Tranquil Tide and Cherry Cobbler are together. This picture truly doesn't do this card justice! I know its difficult to see in the picture however to create the background for this card, I scored a lattice background and adhered Pearl Basic Jewels at each intersecting line. What do you think? Do you like the traditional card or the non traditional cards better?
As you can see from the projects I've shared above, the new Carols of Christmas Stamp Set and Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies are perfect for creating projects of all kinds! They coordinate perfectly with SO many products in the Annual Catalog. This bundle is a must have for your stamping collection!

ReplyDeleteWow, you were on a roll with sooooo many wonderful ideas. I especially love your use of the background stamps in our range, especially the postage one. I wonder if Santa has to have all those visa's lol

ReplyDeleteAll are beautiful but I have a preference for vintage! I love background and colors!
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for my bundle to get here! Not soon enough! I LOVE ALL your cards. They make me ant my bundle right now! LOL! I'm surprised I'm saying this, but, I love the Bermuda Bay one the best. Don't get me wrong, they are all beautiful. But, it draws my attention more than the other three. TFS!
