For my first card, I used so beautiful Merry and Bright Boughs Stamp Set and Merry Labels Dies. With the Merry and Bright Boughs set, you can build your own Christmas wreath but today I just made my own custom stamped background.
yoonsunhur-201609-soa-a001I randomly stamped the boughs, leaves, and berries from the Merry and Bright Boughs set on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel with Christmas colours of Distress ink, and then lightly brushed the stamped images using water brush. Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut the sentiment panel from the centre of the panel using the Merry Labels Dies. I then used the MISTI stamping tool to stamp the sentiment and then inked the edges of the panel with Antique Linen Distress ink using mini round blending tool. I wrapped natural twine on the bottom of the sentiment panel three times, added a bow and silver jingle bell. Lastly I mounted two panels as shown to A2 top folded white card base using foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Candy Cane Lane set on the centre of the white paper panel with Versafine onyx black ink first, and then randomly stamped the images around the sentiment area with dye inks. Next, I die cut some stamped images from the panel using the Candy Cane Lane Dies, and then inlaid them in place using foam tape. I mounted the stamped panel on A2 top folded red card base using foam tape.

  1. Great cards! I am amazed at how differently everyone uses this collection. I sometimes get stuck in a rut and it’s nice to get new ideas to use. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Yoon Sun, I was hoping for a watercolor card and you didn’t disappoint. Thank you! I love the colors on both cards but especially when you mixed non-traditional colors with the traditional. Simply cool!

  3. Wow, these are true pieces of art. Love them both. And I like how you cut out the candies in the 2nd card, but left them in place. What a neat result!

  4. Loved both your cards, especially the way the panel was popped up on the first one. The second one made me feel anxious for the holidays and all the goodies that kids love to eat.

  5. Love both cards! I was fascinated with how you created the first one! I’m really going to have to try that technique! Thank you for sharing!!

  6. Love both of your cards especially the candy one but also in love with the first one. Another one I am going to have to try! Thank you for sharing!

  7. Beautiful cards! I love the look you achieved on your first card softening the design with the waterbrush. I love the colors and can see using this design modified for a beautiful fall or Thanksgiving card. The second card is such a fun design!
