New Release - Stamps - Happy Christmas with Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Monday.... I hope you had a great weekend....The sun is still shining here and its lovely being outside working in the garden but its getting cooler at night and I'm going to get our first fire ready today - just in case!  

It's supposed to get a lot cooler over the next few days and possibly a little rain too so better to be prepared.

I'm so excited today to share my first project as a design team member for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) and such perfect timing as there is a new set of polymer stamps being launched today.  

It's so so cute and perfect for your Christmas makes and very easy to colour too!

This A5 stamps set is called Happy Christmas and I know you will love it.

For my first card I decided to create a circular card using nested dies, creating my card base first... it fits neatly into a 6" x 6" envelope.

I used a small circle of post it note to create my little moon and then used distress inks to create my sky to start with adding snow with a posca pen one the ink was dry.

next I stamped out the images for my little scene onto alcohol marker friendly card, colouring them with my promarkers (see below for colours) before fussy cutting them out by hand.

To create my scene I die cut two extra circle and die cut a wavy stitched edge to create two snow banks, adhering these to my circular card using foam tape to add dimension.

I then created my scene, adding the stamped images, some flat to the card and others adhered using foal tape to add dimension to the card.

The finishing touches were then added, glossy accents to Rudolph's nose and the baubles on the tree and lots of sparkly glitter to the trees and the snow.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
