I shared the full tree I made from this set in middle of October which is of course the main point of the set however it also includes lots of stamps and coordinating dies for the images and some cute sentiments too. So these are what I concentrated on for these samples…
First of all a simple scene with the deer looking all cosy in his scarf!
I stamped the deer then used my blending brushes to create the scene around him and then added colour to him using my alcohol markers.
Next I added the sentiment.
I then added this panel to a background of the patterned paper with a wrap of the ribbon. I added some cardstock scraps under the panel to raise it up a little, then added to a 6×6 card blank.
Simple but cute!
Next sample I stamped and die cut the mistletoe image a few times and die cut the bow. I coloured the leaves in with a lighter colour ink and the berries with some wink of Stella to give them shine. I coloured the bow in with a peachy gold colour.
Then I created a panel of the patterned paper and mounted it onto the cream I had stamped the images on. I also cut an oval shape from cream to sit the mistletoe onto.
I layered everything together, using foam adhesive under the oval, onto one of the every occasion C6 cards from Kingston crafts which I thought gave the card an elegant look.
Then I stamped the sentiment onto a cream panel and edged it in the green from the leaves and layered up some scraps underneath to raise it a little.
A more elegant card I think and beautiful use of the little stamps from the set.
For the next one I went with plain coloured cardstock and embossing!
I started with the green base and stamped the two stars in the stamp set and embossed with gold powder. I then stamped the bell onto white and the sentiment onto some more green with the gold sentiment.
The sentiment is actually half of the sentiment in the set – I just chopped the two lines of the sentiment apart so I could stamp the smaller part – you can still fit them back together if you want to!
I inked up the edge of the green panel to just add some depth and added it to a mint green base.
I added a scrap of angel hair and a white central piece under the circle and then tied some linen thread and bakers twine in a bow to add texture.
And that’s the card done!
And finally I stamped and coloured and die cut the five baubles in the set.
I lightly blended some pale blue onto some white cardstock and then added each of the baubles with some sparkly thread which I pierced through the ‘loop’ on the bauble and fixed behind the panel.
I adhered this to the card base and then stamped and inked the sentiment panel and raised that onto foam adhesive above the bauble threads.
Then finished with a splatter of the shimmer spritz!
Such a versatile set of stamps and this is just using a small number of them! Superb fun to play with!
Happy crafting!
