Holiday Catalogue Card Swap - Day 2



Today's Seashore Stampers Card Swap post is a Christmas card created using the Christmas Pines Bundle. You have already seen a couple of cards made using the Beautiful Pines Die Set, but today you will see that I opted to stamp the pine branches and only die cut the pine cones. One of my favorite colour combinations for Christmas is Soft Sky, Silver, & White.


In the next two close ups you can better see the use of Whisper White ink. I used both Soft Sky and Whisper White to stamp the pine boughs with...


...and the falling snow background stamped in Whisper White, as well.

In the side view, you can see how I attached the ribbon and pine cones.


You saw the sparkle on the front of the card, but you can't see it very well in this photo of the inside. I stamped the pine cones for the inside rather than die cutting them.



Well this is the 2nd card that I made for the swap, and there are two more to go. Have fun shopping the new 2016 Holiday Catalogue, and don't forget the Special Offers available until September 7th!

Happy Stamping!

Thoughtful Branches Bundle - Limited Edition for Aug - #5


Hello everyone! Hope your week is off to a good start.

Today I'm continuing with the the Thoughtful Branches Bundle and showing you a card that uses more of the coordinating die set (Beautiful Branches) with the stamp set. You have the option of purchasing this as a bundle (which I recommend) or as individual items.


This Hydrangea was first stamped using both the Blushing Bride & Calypso Coral inks.


I took the large 'F' Clear Stamping Block and with my Blushing Bride ink pad pressed the ink pad onto the center of the block. Then I added four or five random tiny little drops of Calypso Coral ink refiller. Using the mister filled with water, I then misted the inks on the clear block. Taking the stamp I inked it from the clear block and gently stamped it onto my cardstock. When dried I then die cut it and used the wonder Die Brush to remove it from the intricate die. I repeated this step by stamping onto my card to create a background peek-a-boo.


I used this technique with the three background leaves as well. Love the die cut stem & leaves. You can of course cut off the die cut leaves and use them as embellishment as I did for the first Christmas card I created with this bundle and my bunch of Thank You cards.


In this side view, below, you can better see that I stamped another Hydrangea underneath the die cut one.

A tip to help you with popping up the die cut stem & leaves is to cut narrow strips of Dimensionals for the stem, and to roll mini glue dots with your paper piercer for the intricate leaves. You will require two rolled glue dots stacked to achieve the same height as the Dimensionals.


On the inside, I stamped just a portion of the Hydrangea and leaves.



Hope that you are inspired to get this bundle in August, so that you too can have a lot of fun playing with all the many creative possibilities with this set.
