I have two cards to share with you today. My first card features the Merry Everything stamp set & Die-namics, and also uses the Moroccan Lattice stencil from the release.
I stenciled the Moroccan Lattice on the front of a Smooth White card base with Lemon Chiffon and Peach Bellini Premium Dye inks. I stamped, colored, and die-cut out the images and white embossed the sentiment on a Kraft panel that was cut with a curved banner die from the Blueprints 28 Die-namics. When I adhered them to the card base with foam tape, I had the Santa stepped over the sentiment banner to add a little movement. :)
I added some Glossy Accents to reindeer's nose and the ornaments on his horns. (My camera didn't catch it though.) I also added several Clear Droplets for embellishment.
For my next card I used the Snowfall - Vertical Die-namics. This die makes it super easy to create a background for a winter scene!
I made my background panel with After Midnight CS and the Snowfall- Vertical Die-namics. I added a Smooth White panel underneath it and adhered them to a Poppy card base. I cut the snowy hill using the Stitched Basic Edges Die-namics and adhered to the background panel.
The trees are from the Oh Christmas Trees stamp set, that will be revealed on next Monday. They were stamped on Limelight CS with Field Day Premium Dye ink and cut out with the matching die. I drew the dotty lines with a white pigment marker and added some Crystal Drops. I actually used White, Carribean Ocean, English Mustard, and Autumn Red... But, look... they react to dye ink!! The white dots turned to green...sniff, sniff... I'll never do this again.
I stamped, colored, and die-cut out the reindeer, and adhered him with foam tape. The sentiment was white embossed on a piece of Poppy CS and cut with a die from the Blueprints 27 Die-namics.
Head on over to the MFT blog to see all the products revealed today and for more inspiration from the DT!
Thank you for stopping by today! I will introduce you my new stamp set & Die-namics tomorrow. ;)
