Welcome to the Your Next Stamp December Release Blog Hop!!

    

   

We have a DYN-O-MITE release to share with you this month, so let's get right to it!

If you've been hopping along, then you should be arriving from Brianna's Blog.

If you are just jumping in, you will want to start over at Anita's Blog.

     

There is no way I could narrow down a favorite from this release, I seriously love it ALL! I hope you've set aside some Christmas money for yourself, because I'm pretty sure you'll find something you love too!

   

My first card was so much fun to make! I colored up the cute firecracker from a new set called Boom! I cut a bunch of stars from the Whimsy Star Die Set, and just scattered them around the card, along with some Black and Lemon Gumdrops. The sentiment is also part of this set, and I cut it out using the Circles Die Set.

     

    

Red - R59, R29, R27, R24, R22, R20

Yellow - Y15, Y13, Y11, Y000

I've used two new stamp sets on my next card... Little Darling January, and Snowfall. I colored January with Copics, masked over her, stamped Snowfall in Versamark Ink, and then covered it in white embossing powder. After heat setting the embossing, I sponged Memento Summer Sky Ink over the top, so the snow would stand out.

      

   

I found some pretty white and silver baker's twine in the Target Dollar Spot, and wrapped it around the card. The snowflakes are from the Seasons What Not Die Set, and they are topped with Sterling Silver Glittered Gumdrops.
