Hello hello hello…everyone! Today is not my usual posting day but I would like to share a fun hop with you all.

STAMPlorations release a brand new dies today! I have couple of cards to share with you that I created using the new Bloomdala Bliss – Festive Die Set. Both of my cards are clean-and-simple style showcasing these beautiful bloom dies.

On the first CAS and mixed media card, I cut 2 blooms out of teal metallic cardstock, stacked them together with adhesive glue. I added a piece of vellum paper on the back of the bottom of them and trimmed it.

I used Plaid Maker ARTplorations Stencil to create the plaid background. I use make up brush to add the Fossilized Amber Oxide Distress Ink on the card.

For the tag, I sprayed some purple Marabu Art Spray on a watercolor paper and dried it with craft heater. Next, I added some of the Imagine Crafts Shimmer Creative Medium on it with finger and then dried it again with craft heater. I cut the tag with one of the Stitched Tags Nesting Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from Smile Stamp Set with Flirty Fuchsia Catherine Pooler Ink Pad.

This second CAS card. I cut out a piece of plastic acetate using the Bloomdala Bliss – Festive Die Set so I got 3 acetate blooms and the negative turn in to a stencil.

On a piece of mixed media paper, I added the Tiara and Tiki Torch Catherine Pooler Ink Pads using the die cut stencil and make up brush to create the background of the bloom. Then I cut the paper with one of the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies. I also cut out a piece of the pink salmon cardstock with the larger die. I added both of them on the card.

I added the bloom die cut on top of the stenciled bloom with adhesive glue, and then I stamped the sentiment from Kathryn’s Big Wishes Stamp Set using Midnight Catherine Pooler Ink Pad.
