Holiday Cards & giveaway!

 Good morning! Today I am sharing two projects using the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Holiday Wreath and Pinecone Background sets. Also used are Christmas Wordfetti and Mini Tags Dies. I have a little giveaway too, so be sure to read to the end!

My favorite poinsettias are pink so I made my first card in that color. This is a pretty simple design and was finished off with a few sequins.

A white frame was created with two rectangle dies for my second card, then it was run through an embossing folder. Just a portion of the pinecone image was used for the center and it was matted with gold paper for some shine.

Giveaway- I have an extra set of the Doily Border Dies and Scalloped Border Dies! These are brand new but they are loose...not in the packaging that you normally receive them in. I will choose from one of the comments on this post on my personal blog that are left by 9:00 pm tomorrow night (Sept. 17) to send these to.

Have a great day!

Holiday Wreath and an Instagram Hop

Hi friends! It's time for the SNSS September Release Inspiration Hop on Instagram. You can head over to the SNSS Instagram feed to start the hop. There's lots of inspiration with this month's release as well as a chance to win by commenting on the hop posts, so be sure to head on over there for some fun!

 Today I'm featuring the beautiful Holiday Wreath set, paired with a few other goodies.

For my first card, I colored the wreath in some winter blues, adding a bit of glossy glaze and some sparkle lacquer to accent the flowers, berries, and pinecones in the image. I hand trimmed the image and added foam tape to the back for dimension.

The scallops are cut with the Scallop Border Dies from aqua and navy, then offset and layered for a fun accent on the card. I finished with the Merry Christmas sentiment from my Endless Love set and a thin navy mat.

For my second card, I went with pinks and reds for my color scheme, coloring the Holiday Wreath with Copic markers and adding some frosted lace stickles to the pine cones.  I hand trimmed again, and this time chose to stamp the Christmas Text Background on pink cardstock for a fun background. I finieshed off with a sentiment from Christmas Wordfetti embossed onto a sentiment strip, and then a few scattered sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day.
