I am absolutely loving the “Peace on Earth” Bundle! When I was back east in September, I had a stamp camp with my Maryland eastern shore group. This is one of the cards we made with the “Peace on Earth” Bundle. Also, HERE is another card with this spectacular bundle which shows off the many creative possibilities with this set!
For this card, I basically let the “Peaceful Garden DSP” determine my color palette of Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight and a touch of Basic White. I embossed a Misty Moonlight panel with the “Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder”. After cutting the embossed panel in half, I mounted this to a piece of Basic White card stock and added a piece of the coordinating “Peaceful Garden DSP” to the lower half. I covered where the DSP and embossed panel met with a piece of the “Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged 1/2″ Ribbon”. After stamping the greeting in Secret Sea ink, I die cut the larger frame in Cloud Cover. Along with the Basic White “Dove”, I did use a bit of the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper on this card as well.
Once this panel was completely assembled, I layered this on to a folded card base of Secret Sea. I am not really a “bling” girl, but the bling sure makes this card shine. Loving all the coordinating products in this suite collection. Honestly, so pretty IRL!
I have one last card to share made with the “Jolly Holly” Bundle. This was actually one of the card projects we made in September with my Maryland eastern shore group. Periodically, we venture back to Maryland for a pet sit with a lovely Labradoodle in Annapolis. When visiting back east, I always try to plan a stamping get together with my eastern shore stampers.
My color palette for this simple card is Real Red, Garden Green and Whisper White. I did add two die cut “holly clusters” cut from Soft Sea Foam, and then added Garden Green ink with a “Blending Brush”. Just a reminder that this great “Jolly Holly Bundle” of products is found in the On-Line Exclusives, not in the September-December Mini Catalog.
Just a bit of layering and some “Dimensionals” under the greeting panel and holly clusters, make this an easy card to reproduce. My first card using this layout did not have any ribbon and I felt it was definitely missing something. Once I added the “Real Red Shiny Ribbon” found in the current Mini Catalog, it sure made the card pop! For a bit more detail, I added the “Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints” also found in the On-Line Exclusives. The final touch was to color the holly berries and add “Wink of Stella” to make them shimmer!
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!
