I started by stamping the wreath and the bow. For the first layer of the wreath I used Crystal Pewter and the bow was stamped in Rose Quartz, Hollywood Star and Cosmopolitan Pink. I silver heat embossed the second layer of the wreath and cut it with my cutting machine (coordinating dies will be available on Sep.7th as well.). I heat embossed the second layer of pine cone several times in Rose Gold. I then fussy cut the bow and the pine cones. I dry embossed the dark gray cardbase using two Double Stitched Circle dies and cut out a circle from a A2 sized soft pink panel. I heat embossed the sentiment from Christmas Wreath Builder in Rose Gold on the cardbase. To assemble my card I foam mounted the pink panel and the wreath. The pine cones and the bow were added using some foam adhesives. To finish off the card I adhered some sequins from New Year Couture Mix on the wreath.
My second card was made with Holly Branch stamp set.
First I stamped one holly branch on top left of a white panel. I used Bright Fern and Basil Mojito for the leaves, Lipstick Red and Pink Derby for the berries and Found Topaz for the stem. I then filled the panel with holly branches in Crystal Pewter and Smoky Quartz. Obviously the stamps were not completely clean so the images have a hint of colors I used for the first branch :). It wasn’t intended, but I like it. I then cut out a frame from this panel using two Double Stitched Rectangle dies and one more frame from Adhesive glitter paper (glossy fine transparent) and adhered it on the frame from stamped panel. The front panel was taped flat on the cardbase and the frame using some foam adhesives. The sentiment is also from Holly Branch set. I heat embossed it in gold. Some sequins from Frosted Spearmint were my finishing touch.
I stamped the pine tree in Ocean Teal and Everglade Moss on a A2 sized white panel. I heat embossed the last layer of the pine tree in white to represent some snow. I then drew a curvy line as a snowy hill and cut the panel along the line and outline of the pine tree. I added snow on the hill using a Snow pen. To create the background I blended Violet Fringe, Plum Wine, Azurite, Deep Sapphire and Light Onyx, splattered some white ink and some pearlized water on it, and white and silver heat embossed some little stars from Star Trails set. The sentiment from Holly Branch was white heat embossed. The background panel was glued flat on the cardbase and the panel with the pine tree was foam mounted on it. For more shine I covered the hill with glitter using a clear glitter pen and added Crystal Stickles here and there. To finish off I scattered some sequins from Blue Ice on the snowy hill.
That was three cards I created for today’s reveal! Hope you enjoyed looking at them!
