I am thrilled to be a part of today's Simon Says Stamp's Blog Hop over at the Simon Blog, celebrating their newest release, Festive Fun! This new release is the perfect way to begin getting ready for the holidays and season that is quicky coming up! I have chosen two of the new dies, a CZ Design sentiment die, and an embossing folder, to make two Christmas cards!
I die cut the leaves and berries from white cardstock. I colored the leaves by brushing on different colors of green until I got the color of leaves I liked. I used the dies from the set, for the berries, and die cut them in red. I used Glossy Accents to dot the leaves with shine. I die cut the sentiment from gold cardstock and layered. Here's a close up...
The second card, I used another of the beautiful leaves and berries type die set, and used the same sentiment...
This Abundant Leaf die is a card covering size die, but looking at it covering a card, I liked the idea of it being a "part" of the card, not the whole card. So...I opted to make my card a 5x7 and pop up and adhere the whole die cut panel on a larger card, then have the sentiment below it. Here's a close up...
Okay...I had SO much fun with these two cards!! My fun was above, your fun is below!!
