Hi Everyone! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their DieCember release blog hop. I have had so much fun with some of the beautiful dies from the DieCember release.
For my first card I used the absolutely wonderful DECO-HEART - I know I will play with it many times making different types of designs. I created a textured bg for it using the lovely
HOLIDAY-KNIT-BORDERSTITCHED-SQUARES. The sentiment is from the set SKETCHED-FLOWERS.
For my second card I made the HOLIDAY-KNIT-BORDERSTITCHED-SQUARES the focus.
I used some silver glitter cs and the very useful ROUNDED-ALPHABET-SMALL for my Merry. The embossed lines are created with my bone folder and a score plate.
