Hello crafty friends! Today I have a couple of cheerful Christmas cards with Simon Says Stamp Winter Birds stamp set. I stamped birds, leaves and sentiments on the exact same place on two A2 sized papers using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink first. As you can see on the right side, I coloured all stamped images with Copic markers. On the left side, I just coloured the background with R29 Copic marker.
Hello crafty friends, TGIF! Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Handmade Holiday Release Blog Hop. I’m so happy to be a part of this warm and cozy blog hop! If you arrived here from super talented Emma Williams’s blog you are on the right track.
For my first card, I used the new Etched Delicate Frond die and Pine Bouquet embossing folder. I applied the Pine Bouquet embossing folder to A2 sized watercolour paper panel first, and then ink blended the panel with some Distress Oxide inks: Fired Brick, Vintage Photo, Cracked Pistachio and Faded Jeans. I then made edge-to-edge shaker panel with lots of sparkling sequins & confetti. I die cut the Etched Delicate Frond from thick white cardstock, then applied gold embossing powder to the end of each leaf. For the sentiment, I used the CZ Design Merry die set.
Here is a closer look:
I just could not resist another play with the gorgeous Etched Delicate Frond die. I die cut 3 fronds from thick white cardstock first. I then applied Distress inks to 2 fronds – one that I inked with Evergreen Bough, another that I inked with Bundled Sage. I stamped cardinal in the Winter Birds set on white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black, coloured it with Copic markers. I dry embossed the panel with the Crystal Distortion embossing folder, mounted it on white card base using double-side tape, then added all elements as shown in the picture. I was so happy to see the result!!

I placed the ornament stencil on A2 sized white paper panel, then applied Distress inks in rainbow order as shown in the picture – you can arrange where you want with the new Ornament Builder stencil. :D Next is the Glitz Glitter Gels! I applied glitter gold, red and green to ornaments – love it so much!! I stamped the sentiment in the Winter Birds set on the bottom right corner using VersaFine Onyx Black. After mounting the panel on white card base using double-sided tape, then decorated the card with tiny snowflakes & clear sequins.
I will share more of my Handmade Holiday Release cards on Friday. Please look forward to upcoming Handmade Holiday Release blog hop starting tomorrow. Stay tuned!
