With the purchase of SOA collections, you get an amazing PDF download for FREE with fabulous projects and step-by-step instructions on how to make the projects with just the contents of the collection!
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.
I 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.
For my second card, I used so cheerful Candy Cane Lane Stamp and Die Set. 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.
