Looks like it might be the last of the nice, hot and sunny days here in Michigan for a while. We are supposed to have some severe storms today and then a big cool down. Oh boy!
My
share for today is another Alternate Card that I designed using
elements from Stampin' Up's new Watercolor Christmas Project Kit. Let's
take a look:
My Card Base is the Wreath Card Base from Stampin' Up's new Watercolor Christmas Project Kit.
Using the 1-7/8" Circle Die from SU's Layering Circles Framelits Dies, I die cut a Circle in the center of the Wreath.
I brushed some Wink of Stella from my personal stash onto each Holly Berry.
Using SU's new Trim Your Stocking Thinlits Dies, I die cut out 4 Jingle Bells from one of the kit's Gold Foil Envelope Liners.
I made a Bow using SU's Gold Metallic Thread.
I cut a length of the Gold Metallic Thread, thread it through one of the Jingle Bells, tied it onto the Bow and adhered a second Jingle Bell to the back sandwiching the end of the thread in-between the two Jingle Bells to hide the one end of the thread. I did the same for the second Jingle Bell making sure that it would hang a little longer then the first Jingle Bell. I put a small dab of Mono Multi Purpose Glue on the back of one of the Jingle Bells to adhere the two Jingle Bells together as shown in the picture above.
For the inside of my Card:
Using SU's new Labels to Love Stamp Set, I stamped the Ho Ho Ho stamp to the left side of the inside of my Card with Real Red Ink making sure that you could not see it through the Circle die cut opening when the Card is closed.
Using SU's new Tags & Trimmings Stamp Set, I stamped one Large and one Small Holly Leaf in Emerald Envy Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.
Using SU's new coordinating Tags & Trimmings Thinlits Dies, I die cut out the two Holly Leaves and adhered them underneath my Sentiment with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.
Using my 1/4" Handheld Circle Punch, I punched out 3 Circles from scrap pieces of the Gold Foil Envelope Liner and adhered them to the Holly Leaves with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.
Love how this Card turned out and so easy to create using elements from Stampin' Up's new Watercolor Christmas Project Kit.
That's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Today is pretty much the same as yesterday weather-wise. We didn't get a the expected frost last night and have frost warnings again for tonight. Our high is only supposed to be 67 and the winds just make it feel cooler. It's supposed to warm up for the weekend though. Maybe we can get another day of fishing in??? =)

My share for today is another Alternate Card that I designed using elements from Stampin' Up's new Watercolor Christmas Project Kit. Let's take a look:
My Card Base is the Emerald Envy Striped Pattern Card Base from Stampin' Up's new Watercolor Christmas Project Kit.
Using SU's Watercolor Christmas Stamp Set, I stamped my Sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink onto the Pool Party Watercolored Pattern Card Base and trimmed it out to measure 2-5/8" x 4-1/4".
Using
the leftover Whisper White Die Cut Sheet from the Kit (what is leftover
after removing the rectangle die cuts), I trimmed out a Frame
that was around one of the rectangle die cuts and adhered it to my Sentiment as shown in the picture above. I then adhered the Frame to my Card Base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Using the Real Red Star Pattern Paper from SU's Quilted Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, I fussy cut out 2 of the Real Red Stars.
Using SU's new Trim Your Stocking Thinlits Dies, I die cut out 2 Snowflakes from Whisper White Cardstock.
Using SU's new Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies, I die cut out 2 of the Small Snowflakes from Emerald Envy Cardstock.
I adhered the Emerald Envy Snowflake to the Whisper White Snowflake with Mono Multi Purpose Glue and then to the Real Red Star with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I adhered a folded length of SU's new Gold Mini Sequin Trim to the upper left corner of my Frame with Mono Multi Purpose Glue and then adhered my Star to my Card Base and Frame with Stampin' Dimensionals and Glue Dots as shown in the picture above. I then adhered the second Star to the bottom right corner.
I pulled off 3 Sequins from the Gold Mini Sequin Trim and adhered them randomly to my Card as shown in the picture above.
Using SU's new Add a Little Glitz Stamp Set, I stamped my 2 Stars in Daffodil Delight Ink on the inside of my Card as shown in the picture above.
I then stamped my Sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink onto another piece of the Pool Party Watercolored Pattern Card Base and trimmed it out to measure 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" and adhered it to the inside of my Card partially over the Stars with Mono Multi Purpose Glue as shown in the picture above.
I brushed on Wink of Stella to the Stars and Dots in the stamped Stars and onto the word Sparkle to give them a 'Sparkle Glitz' shine.
I shared SU's new Watercolor Christmas Project Kit all week long on my blog. There are so many opportunities with this kit. And, most of all, what fun it is to put it all together and come up with alternate ways of using the kits' elements.
That's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
