  YOUR NEXT STOP - Laura Bassen

  Christmas in July is one of my favorite events! Usually I have no rush to prepare and send the cards in December just because I made them all in July :)

  And I prepared a lot of cards to show you today, I was so inspired with our new release so I couldn't stop! More inspiration I'll share on My and Waffle Flower Instagram accounts.

  I want to start with a new Ornaments series. I made my first card with Layered Ornament Die and different cardstock sheets, for smaller pieces I used my scraps:) I applied gold glitter paste through Snowy Pine Trees Stencil on a grey A2 panel and then foam mounted the ornaments. 

 

 For my second card I used the same stencil and die set but in different colors. Kraft cardstock is one of my favorite papers for Christmas cards. 

Nest we have another ornament Combo: Ornaments Background Foil Plate and Ornaments Coloring Stencil. That stencil set can be used separately, find below the example :)

  Gold ornament lines look fantastic! I cut out a matching sentiments from a gold mirror cardstock using new amazing sentiment dies from JJ Bolton called Oversized Merry Christmas Print. I heat embossed the second part of the sentiment using Merry Christmas Duo Stamp set. 

  I love that with a coordinating coloring stencil I can change not only ornament color but a background too! For all my cards I used water based regular Distress inks and Blending Brushes. 

On this card I framed the heat embossed sentiment using a small foil plate die from - A2 Layers Foil Plate.

Next I dried to use small Shader brushes to create shadows on the ornaments. This time I used silver foil for the ornaments outlines. To create a sentiment I used Merry Christmas Duo Foil Plate.

And here is an example without foiling. Stamp and stencil only :) 

  Another new foil panel we have is Scattered Stars Foil Plate and I made a night sky scene using it. I applied different distress inks over the foiled panel. 

 Blending brushes help to remove small overfoiling on the paper :) 

I cut out a few small ornaments using Small Ornaments Die and placed them on a pine branch from Layered Winter Bird Die. Find the card with a new bird below :) 

 

 And here are those cute stars made with silver foil. I created a winter card using foils only, how fun is that? We have pre foiled die cut sentiments in 3 colors: silver, gold and black!

  I decorated a tree made with Outlined Pine Tree Foil Plate using a few small Enamel Dots. 

  If you don't have a foiling machine you will definitely love those stars in a die version - Scattered Stars Die! It's a half panel die so you can cut out a full background and borders too! 

For this card I used new flowers stamp set - Peony - September Birth Flower.

  The second new floral stamp set is Poppy - August Birth Flower, which one I also framed with a gold foil using A2 Layers Foil Plate.

But lets go back to our winter cards :) I can't wait to show you more cards using this sweet layered bird die - Layered Winter Bird Die. 

I cut out a pine tree frame using Pine Branch Panel Die and foam mount it on the ink blended card panel.

In this set Pine Branch Panel Die you will find a few small additions. I used a little berries to decorate my double pine branch frame :) 

  Also I made a card using pine branches only (without a bird) :) I cut them out wfom a white glitter cardstock and decorated them with enamel dots.  I cut out a green card panel using a Dashed Snowflake Panel Die with beautiful embossed snowflakes. 

Clean and simple card but I love the dimension of the white forest:)! 

Last, but not least a card with a new Two layered stencil with beautiful poinsettias - Layered Poinsettia Stencil Duo. I used red distress ink and gold glitter paste to create this card background. 

 I made a sentiment using Merry Christmas Duo Foil Plate and I colored it with an alcohol base Copic markers.

So shiny! Perfect for the  Christmas season!

Thanks for staying with me :)
