It seems the summer just flies by and here we are again doing our team blog hop! This time we are featuring products from the mini catalogue. This catalogue has so many lovely Christmas sets in it I have decided to feature the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle. To see the fabulous cards of my team you can click on their pictures below.
I loved this set when I first saw it. I thought it might be hard to use big candy canes but it has been fun to put these cards together. The main big die is what really made me want this set of dies. There are good samples and ideas in the catalogue and I got two ideas from that page.
1. Cut a card 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" of Evening Evergreen and fold in half.
2. Cut two pieces of Evening Evergreen and cut them with the largest die and adhere them to the front of the card.
3. Die cut some Soft Succulent greens to go behind, a 1" by 4" piece of Soft Succulent cardstock. Adhere a 1/2" of Specialty Glimmer Paper.
4. Stamp the candy canes in Real Red with a Stamparatus to get a really dark colour.
5. Stamp the sentiment and voila!
This is a similar card only very quick to put together.
1. I cut a piece of Thick Basic White 8 1/2" by 5 1/4 " to make the card and cut a piece of 4" by 5 1/4" with the largest die in Real Red.
2. I then cut a 4" by 5 1/4" piece of the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper and fit it behind the die cut.
3. The candy canes are cut from the DSP and so that was easy to add to the card.
4. I cut a piece of Real Red with the Scalloped Contour Dies but you could easily just cut a rectangle.
5. I then stamped three mistletoe leaves from the stamp set and added them behind the piece I die cut for the sentiment from the dies in the bundle.
Hope you enjoyed these cards - hop on to team's wonderful cards!
