Sending Cheer!

December 14, 2023December 8, 2023 | erinbh

Lining up those lights exactly how you want them can be a little tricky. Just have to have patience! At least for me.

I die cut the bigger lights with the Melon Mambo foil and the smaller ones with the Granny Apple Green foil. The tops and the middle parts of the lights and the string is Basic White. I used Dimensionals on them.

The background paper is from the Merry Bold & Bright DSP. I used the Radiating Stitches dies on it to give it some texture.

The sentiment is from the Sending Cheer stamp set. I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Done!

Measurements:

Granny Apple Green 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Scored at 4-1/4″

Basic White 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″

Merry Bold & Bright DSP 3-7/8″ x 5-1/4″

Scraps of Basic White

Scraps of Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil

A Shiny Card with No Stamps!

December 8, 2023December 8, 2023 | erinbh

This card uses dies from 3 different sets! They are all retiring. 🙁 It was a pretty easy card.

The lights are from the Merry & Bright Dies. I die cut them with the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil sheets.

The “NOEL” is from the Joy of Noel Dies. I used Silver Foil for that (I don’t think that’s available anymore, but any silver foil would work).

The label behind “NOEL” is from the Christmas Classics Dies. I die cut once with Basic White and once with the Vellum Basics. I added some Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs (not retiring!) where the berries would be.

The background is embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder (also not retiring!).

Measurements:

Melon Mambo 4-1/4″ x 11″ Scored at 5-1/2″

Basic White 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″

Scraps of Basic White, Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil, Silver Foil and Vellum Basics

Glow in the Dark Tree- Merriest Trees!

September 6, 2023 | erinbh

Here’s a non-traditional Christmas card! I showed this card in my Glow in the Dark video-link below. I had a lot of fun making this.

All three trees (from the Merriest Trees bundle) were stamped with Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green. Since the middle one is on Glow in the Dark paper, it looks different than the other two.

The sentiment is from the Merry & Bright stamp set. Fussy cut it.

The background paper and “frame” is from the Merry Bold & Bright DSP. It’s part of the Merry Bold & Bright suite. As is the foil paper I used for the stars.

The frame was made with the Deckled Rectangles dies. I make lots of frames with dies like that- you die cut the biggest one, then use a smaller die on the middle to make it a frame.

I have several PDF Tutorials for sale now- I have 7 different ones. If you have suggestions for ones from the mini catalog (I already have Bag of Bones and Tricks & Treats done) let me know! I own most of the stuff in the mini (don’t tell my husband) so I can do just about any of them! I have a few I’m working on, but would love to know what people would like to see! Check them out HERE

Here’s the video on Glow in the Dark:

Glow in the Dark Christmas Lights! Video!

August 24, 2023September 6, 2023 | erinbh

I had so much fun making this. When I was done and turned the lights off, I was thrilled!

I made a somewhat short video on different ways to use the Glow-in-the-Dark paper:

Most of this card uses the new Merry & Bright Bundle/Merry Bold & Bright Suite- page 8-9.

The background paper is from the Merry Bold & Bright DSP.

I stamped the lights with Melon Mambo, Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist. All on the Glow-in-the-Dark paper. I dipped them in clear embossing powder, heat set and then die cut.

The light string (die) is Shaded Spruce.

The stars (die) are with Silver Foil.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and then embossed with silver embossing powder.

The scalloped edge is from the Scalloped Contours dies.

The die used for the sentiment is from the Nested Essentials dies.
