Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - December 2023

 

Christmas is in 10 days!

This was not the card I had planned, but it was gorgeous as is, so I left it.

Welcome to December's Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop!

Did you know every Stampin’ Up!®️ catalogue has a special host stamp set you can get as part of your Stampin' Rewards?

This September - December Mini Catalogue had an exclusive stamp set that really caught my eye because I knew I wanted my Christmas cards to be inspired by dried oranges and pinecones. This stamp set had EXACTLY that! 

The Framing Foliage Host Stamp

I stamped the image with Early Espresso ink on Basic White cardstock because I knew I wanted to colour it in with our Stampin' Blends, which are alcohol based markers.

The colours I used are: 

• Shaded Spruce Combo
• Sweet Sorbet Combo
• Pretty Peacock Combo
• Deep Combo Pack (SU100 & SU300)
• Cherry Cobbler Combo
• Old Olive Combo
• Pumpkin Pie Combo

You can watch me make this card on my Facebook Page, here. I go Live every Tuesday evening at 8 pm Atlantic Time. Make sure to follow me to get notified when I go Live and get more inspiration whenever I share my projects.

I used the gold sequins from the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins pack to embellish. 

Everything was mounted on a Crumb Cake card base.

Easy, simple stamping. I like to think of it as adult colouring.

I am curious to know, do you have a favourite stamp set you like to colour using the Blends or Watercolour Pencils? Let me know in the comments!
