oh how I love all of these new stamps, stencils and dies!! just wait until you see it all! but in the mean time, check out what we're working with today: Dear Santa and Nutcrackers Stamp Sets + coordinating dies.
you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on October 23rd, right here!
i'm starting today's post with my fun Santa card!
I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!
oh my goodness, I can't tell you how much I love these santa images!
I
used Distress Oxide Inks in Lucky Clover, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade! then
I splattered some water and white acrylic ink on the background to make
it looks like snow!
I finished off the card with some various-sized sequins!
my other card uses the new Reindeer Stencil and Nutcrackers stamps and dies!
I tried something different, for me anyway!
I used some white flock on most of the reindeer, and the prettiest, orangey-bronzey foil for a few of the reindeer!
I also die cut the sentiment from the Nutcrackers Die Set, and then used glossy accents on top to add some shine and height to the letters!
it's hard to see, but in real life, this card is just awesome with the flocky and foily textures together!
