In case you get lost along the way, here is the full list of hoppers
Let's get to the projects, shall we???
For my first project, I used the new Bokeh Dots, Merry & Bright stamps, the new (and coolest) stag die and words dies from Merry and Bright! The little hearts are from the Home & Hearth die set. I used vellum to make the bokeh dots a little more subtle and then stamped the hearts on the vellum!
(Bokeh Dots, Merry & Bright stamp set, Merry & Bright dies, Stag die, Home & Hearth dies, Ink, Gold Foil Paper, sequins, glue dots)
Next, I kept it one layer and used the Bokeh Dots and words dies from Merry and Bright!
Tis the Season is seriously one of the cutest stamp sets EVER! It just makes me HAPPY!
The Merry & Bright stamp set is a full of possibilities! I used stamped the string and sentiment and then went in and stamped and colored in the lightbulbs. Then, I added a white gel pen accent and coated the light bulbs with glossy accents.
Last project to share with you is my Zipper Panel die project, and I thought this was the PERFECT Christmas Tree ornament die. How fun is this to hide a gift card or moola in!?!? I used the new Home & Hearth dies to create a die cut scene and a Cozy Christmas sentiment which pairs perfectly!
Here's the inside. :)
Now for some fun to share... the sweet and extremely generous Ellen & Julie are offering up a prize!
Yes, I have a set of Merry & Bright to give away!
Please leave a comment ON THIS BLOG POST by October 8th! Winners will be announced October 9th!
