Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for a blog hop featuring the AWESOME Limited Edition Holiday Card Kit Comfort & Joy!
I’ve created two projects using the contents of the kit.
For this card I embossed the gorgeous Poinsettia Background cling in white onto Schoolhouse Red cardstock. Then I embossed the large snowflake image from Comfort & Joy in Antique Gold along with the sentiment embossed in white. I used one of the Sentiment Label dies to die cut the embossed sentiment.
For this next card I used a couple pieces of ephemera from the Tim Holtz Idealogy Christmas Ephemera pack included in the kit.
I’m in love with that vintage hymn ephemera! I mounted it onto some plaid pattern paper by Echo Park, also included in the kit. For the Christmas Wreath ephemera, I punched a hole in the top and tied a bow using the green organdy by May Arts, included in the kit.
Follow along the blog hop to see more amazing inspiration using this fun new kit!
Thanks so much for hopping by!
