Hello all! A big hearty welcome to the Holiday II Essentials by Ellen Release Hop! If you have been taking part in the hop, you should have arrived from the blog of sweet Sandy Allnock. If you are just stumbling onto this post, welcome!
I’ll be showcasing several of the new stamp sets and dies on my post today!
And, yay!!! I also get to give away an Essentials by Ellen stamp set! The winner may chose ANY Essentials by Ellen brand stamp set (maximum value $15) currently in stock at Ellen Hutson.com To enter my giveaway, please leave a comment on today’s post with a valid email address by October 27th!
There is also a crazy good Grand Giveaway in the CLASSroom! To enter, be sure to leave a comment there, also by October 27th, with a valid email address; winners will be announced at the CLASSroom on Friday, October 30th!
Alright, so let me show you what I’ve got!
First up is this snazzy number, using the new Autumn Acorns dies with the Autumn Acorns stamp set.
I kinda went crazy making the leaves. I die-cut the leaves from watercolor paper, applied watercolors to them and let them dry slightly. Then spritzed them with water to give them a molted look. I let them finish drying and then stamped on top.
If you look on the card closely, you’ll see I also stamped the leaf a couple times and embossed it onto my background.
The dots are actually some dots stamps that are included with the Autumn Acorns stamp set. I just thought they just made a nice accent for the card so I stamped them a couple times. 😉
I created so many leaves as I made that first card that I made a bonus project to share with you today. I made this little wreath to share with you. I think it would be fun to decorate a kid’s room with or even use as a place setting decoration on a Thanksgiving table.
To keep the leaves on the wreath (and from falling off), I used hot glue. 😉
And here’s one more card to share with you today.
I created this little scene with the new Santa’s Flight stamp set + the new Tis the Season dies (and coordinating Tis the Season stamp set).
I always get really excited when you can mix different products together. When I saw the Santa in the Santa’s Flight, I thought how perfect it would be to create a little scene with.
Alright! So that’s what I have for you!
The next stop on the hop is the blog of the wonderfully kind, Laurel Beard! Take it away, Laurel!
And if you get lost during the hop, please visit the CLASSroom blog for a complete list of all the designers taking part in today’s fun!
