So what we're focusing on today is the "Winter" stamp set, it's matching dies, "Jewel Tones" sequins and the "Backdrop" stamp.
I especially love the "Winter" stamp set because of that big sentiment. Those 5 lines are in one block, and although you could always cut it up or mask off different segments if you prefer, I really like the idea of being able to stamp it as a big bold statement!
I think this would make the perfect stamp for when you need to mass produce some holiday cards - one image stamped and you're practically done!
I finished my card by using the "Winter" dies to cut out the title. Multiple layers of white cardstock stuck together for the word, and reflective silver card for the shadow effect.
Now, if you were wondering about the value of the 3x4" Backdrop stamp then I can assure you there are so many ways you can use this. I've used it in probably the most simplest of ways for this card - I really did use it as a backdrop! LOL!
I first stamped the solid image in blue Distress Oxide ink, and then swiped my green Distress Oxide ink pad over the stamp in sections and stamped it again. It gives a subtle two-toned effect which is a bit fun.
I finished the background with silver embossed snowflakes from the "Winter" stamp set, and sprinkled on the Jewel Tones sequins too. The snowman and sentiment come from the "Get Yeti" stamp set that we featured on Day 1.

Thank you for letting me know that the words in the winter stamp set is one big block, I was wondering. I love it even more now! Both of your cards are great! I love the simplicity of both of them and how you showed off the products so well.

Hi Natalie, so glad you showed such a cool way to use the block stamp! I know that one can be used a lot of different ways and your idea with multi stamping with distress inks is really useful! Love how you added wintery accents and greetings on top. Really nice cards!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! I'm glad you mentioned that all the sentiments are one stamp - I wasn't sure if they were individual or not. Love how you used the background stamp!
