Hello, and welcome to the Essentials by Ellen Holiday 2015 Release Hop! I’ll be showcasing several of the new stamp sets and dies on my post today!
This is my favorite time of year as far as stamping goes, I always look forward to holiday releases the most! The Essentials by Ellen holiday release does not disappoint, there's something for everyone.
Let's start with the adorable Got Candy? stamp set!
This is such a fun little set! I especially love that little spider, he's so cute. I stamped my card base with many of the images included in the set (scroll down, I'm giving this one away!). Then I added a 4 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches piece of white card stock with foam tape. I heat embossed the sentiment on black card stock and added it to the card.
I also have the pleasure of sharing a card using the Mistletoe & Holly Stamp Set and die.
I love the classic, traditional look of this stamp set and how it's mixed with such fun fonts! Here I heat embossed the poinsettia in gold on red card stock, then heat embossed the holly leaves and sentiment. I added some scorelines to ground my design. This card is perfect for mailing (even more so if you leave off the sequins but I just can't resist using them!)
That's it from me. One more thing before you go, I also get to giveaway this new stamp set called Got Candy to a lucky someone! Please leave a comment along with your email adress to enter my giveaway!
