Also Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from each blog's comment section. They will choose the winners and post on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday the 7th of December. Now onto the projects!
Today I have 3 different cards for you using the brand new Pointed Evergreens dies. For these 3 cards, I achieved totally different looks for each by varying the papers I used to cut the Pointed Evergreens for each card.
For my first card, I kept it traditional by using a piece of paper that I colored with green Distress Paints. Once they were dry, I cut the Pointed Evergreens from them and then added some Texture Paste to the edges of parts of the trees using a palette knife and a little Rock Candy Distress Glitter. Once the glitter was dry, I adhered the trees to a white panel and then added a simple black sentiment. For the background, I used the Christmas Star cling stamp along with Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Cappuccino for a tone on tone look. To finish the card I added a sentiment from the CZ Design Clean Line Christmas set.
For my second card, I wanted something fun and sparkly for the season, this time I used some of the new Simon Luxe Glitter cardstock in black...isn't it just so lovely?!? I cut the Pointed Evergreens from the black glitter cardstock, added a few tiny stars cut from the Magic Stars Wafer dies to the top of them and a sentiment from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set embossed in gold.
For my third card, I cut into one of my "rainbow" experiment papers that I made with Distress Watercolor Pencils and cut out the Pointed Evergreens and combined it with some bright yellow cardstock. For the sentiment, I stamped a simple Joy from the CZ Design Let's Make a Tag set.
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you will stop and check out all the stops on the hop!
