Interesting enough, my first card with the “Peace on Earth” Bundle is not a holiday card. I chose to use the coordinating “Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder” along with the stamp/die bundle. The greetings in the stamp set are versatile and can be used for numerous occasions. I always seem to struggle to create “sympathy” cards, but this bundle made the process very simple!
My color palette for this card is Pecan Pie, Old Olive and Crumb Cake. I did add a bit of Whisper White for my die cut dove. It was easy to incorporate the “Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder” in to this card. The larger label die actually works with the embossing folder to create a window. The entire embossed layer was raised up with “Dimensionals”.
The two “vines” were die cut first, then I added a bit of Old Olive ink to them with a “Blending Brush”. Basically, this made the vine branches a bit darker and helped them to stand out against the rest of the card. The greeting was stamped in Pecan Pie ink on Crumb Cake card stock and die cut with the smaller label die. The white dove has a “Dimensional” under it’s body, but not under the wings or tail. This allows the dove to sit level with the embossed panel. My finishing touch was to add a double-stranded “Linen Thread” Bow with a “Glue Dot”. Simple, but quite striking IRL!
More great samples with this terrific bundle to follow!
I’ve been super busy lately preparing for another local vendor market but wanted to post another sample of the “Jolly Holly Bundle”. This was one of the first few cards I created with this great bundle. Simple layout design and a very easy card to duplicate for multiples. HERE is my previous post using this bundle.
This card was truly a simple card using just the coordinating embossing folder, two stamps, a few dies from the bundle, ribbon and some bling. Honestly, the most difficult part was figuring out which colors to use for the bells! I do like the simplicity of a mostly red and white card as it has a nice crisp feel. As a reminder, this bundle is found in the On-Line Exclusives.
Basically, I stamped the greeting in Real Red and then die cut with the stitched rectangle die from this bundle. Then, I added a layer of Real Red to back the greeting panel. My card base is Real Red with a Whisper White embossed Holly panel adhered to the front. I added the greeting panel with “Dimensionals“. The bells were stamped, colored with “Blends” and then die cut. I tied a small knot of “Real Red Shiny Ribbon” and placed behind the bow on the die cut bells. The little bit of shimmer in this ribbon adds a nice touch. Finally, I added two “Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems” (now retired) to the bell clackers to add a bit of interest. Honestly, I keep looking at this card wondering if it might need a little something else, however, I do love the simplicity! What are your thoughts?
