Hello friends and welcome to the Gina K Designs Merry & Bright Stamp TV Kit Blog Hop! Today the design team is sharing cards created using this new kit. So sit back and enjoy the inspiration as you hop along. You can also enter to win a $50 gift certificate to the shop. All the details are listed below.
Holly Jolly Christmas Card | Merry & Bright Stamp TV Kit
For my first card, I began by stamping the pine boughs in Jelly Bean Green and Green Grass and the pine cones in Dark Chocolate onto white cardstock. I then die cut them using the coordinating dies. Next, I die cut the tag from kraft cardstock using the Gina K Designs Nested Tag Dies and stamped the sentiment on it using my MISTI to line it up just right.
As I was arranging the pine boughs on the top of the tag, I did a little trimming to create my own custom arrangement. Don't be afraid to do this with stamping, especially if you are going to be layering things on top that you can hide it behind. Here is how they look before I added the pine cones.
Before adding the tag to the card front, I adhered the pine cones using some double sided foam tape and attached a little red bow using Therm O Web Zot.
Merry Christmas Shaker Card | Merry & Bright Stamp TV Kit
My next card is a shaker card. I began by stamping the trees onto white cardstock and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I then ink blended Distress Oxide Ink in Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans and Peacock Feathers.
Using the Christmas die included in this kit, I die cut the word Christmas several times from white cardstock and glued them together. I then die cut it from silver foil cardstock and adhered that to the top and then attached the word to the front of the shaker. The word "merry" was stamped and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.
