I am super excited to part of today's bloghop to feature the Products from the new Cheer and Joy October release.
So many new favorites!
I started my masking my cardbase with post-it tape and then inked the center with distress ink. I then stamped the Amazing Christmas caleidoscope bg in gold. I finished off by embossing the Season's greetings from Holiday Greetings 1 in gold on red cardstock. I then added some green - mine are from Laurels dies (PS latest release) but you can use the new SSS CHRISTMAS-FOLIAGE
Start by doing the hop and then make sure to visit the Cheer and Joy Gallery. It is a wonderful source for inspiration! We also love if you share your own projects made with this release there too.
There is, as Always, an awesome bloghop offer /code for blog hoppers to use when they shop - A free Simon Exclusive Post Office Box enamel pin.
Use code: HPYML9
This gift is while supplies last.
This promotion will expire on 10/13/19.
My second card was made the same way but I heat embossed the Christmas caleidoscope bg patterned with gold and then added the Beautiful Grace snowflake and Merry frame die cut.
For my third card I chose a Beautiful stamp from Holiday Greetings 1 - I used my misti and stamped it in distress antique linen - I then colored it using Daniel Smith watercolors and when I was done, put it back in my misti and stamped again to heat emboss it in gold.
This last card is probably my favorite - I love this wreath die which gives you a Lovely guide to paint a wreath. It is also very Beautiful to just die cut and leave it like that. I love the Classic/ vintage look you can create with it. It was very simple and fast to make but it still looks woked at.
