I liked the sketch at Sunday Stamps this week and used it for inspiration for one of the new Christmas sets in the July-December Mini Catalogue, Merriest Moments.
Merriest Moments has a matching die set, Merriest Frames, which in addition to outline dies for the stamped images, includes some of the most jaw-droppingly fabulous frames. However, it's such a lovely set that it's amazing all by itself, without the fancy add-ons. 😀
I've used some of the foliage stamps to create a background for a single poinsettia, embellished with a die cut centre piece and an In-Colour jewel.
The background DSP is from the Tidings of Christmas DSP stack. I embossed the panel, using Tasteful Textiles, for extra interest.
This simple and sweet card would be suitable for mass-production come Christmas time, although you could miss out embossing the DSP to speed it along even more.
Update: Delighted to be chosen as a Top Cup at Sunday Stamps.

Oh, isn't this gorgeous, Jan! You're really making me take another look at this set, lol. Love the line shading in this, and great take on our sketch! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Jan. This is my favourite bundle in the Mini Catalogue; it's so versatile. I love how you arranged the stamped foliage,and have a single poinsettia as the focus.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite sets in the seasonal catalogue even though I have yet to use it in traditional colours! Great layering of those foliage images and the poinsettia too - the centre detail really makes it stand out. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteJan, I love your clean take on the sketch! The layered greens with the poinsettia popped up is a gorgeous design. I'm ever so glad you joined us at Sunday Stamps!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Jan. This is stunning! I love your layout, colors and awesome feel of Christmas from it. Just stunning. Thanks for playing along with this weeks challenge at Sunday Stamps! :)
