MERRIEST MOMENTS BUNDLE
I had a HARD time trying to decide what mini catalog set to use for this blog hop. I really thought I’d go with fall, but then saw my Be Dazzling DSP (free SAB option) on my desk and decided to use it on a Christmas card! I love the hybrid embossing folder/die option in this Merriest Moments Bundle!
CARD Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cherry Cobbler c/s, scored at 5-1/2 and folded to form the base card.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Evening Evergreen is added on top (I love this color for Christmas!)
- The large frame image was cut from Be Dazzling Paper (FREE SAB selection!) with the Merriest Frames Dies, then embossed with the Merriest Frames Hybrid embossing folder. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was was stamped with Cherry Cobbler Ink on the Basic White frame from Merriest Frames Dies towards the top. It was adhered to the Be Dazzling frame with Tombow Monoadhesive Glue.
- The holly leaves were stamped with Soft Succulent Ink and the berries with Cherry Cobbler Ink, the greenery with Evening Evergreen Ink. They were all cut with the Merriest Frames Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of red Holiday Rhinestones were added to the background.
I love all the sparkle on this card!
MERRIEST MOMENTS 3×3 ACETATE BOX
