Blended Seasons - Christmas


Today's card will probably be my last using the Blended Seasons bundle. The stamp set and framelits .... and the new Watercolour Pencils will all go at the end of this month, so you only have a few days left to get your hands on them! You can find all the details HERE.

I decided to use the Holly stamp this time and create a Christmas card - I think this is my first for this year!

I cut my mat from Whisper White card using the middle sized framelit first and then stamped the image at the top and bottom of it using Black Versafine ink. This was then heat embossed using Clear Powder.  I used the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers for the colouring.

I wanted more dimension on my card, so repeated the stamping and colouring onto some scrap Whisper White card and then cut the Holly and Berries out by hand. I layered these on top of the original stamping using Dimensionals.

Please note that the Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin' Blends alcohol markers are not available to purchase until 5th September.


The Bell was stamped, embossed and coloured in the same way. 

It's worth noting that this is the only image in the stamp set that has a coordinating die in the framelits set - all the other dies are completely independent to the stamp set. I mention this because although I love the stamp set (especially the large floral image), I absolutely adore the framelits - especially the 3 large layering dies. The two products work great together, but they work equally as well on their own :o)

Blended Seasons - Birthday


I am sharing another Blended Season card today :o) I LOVE these flowers ..... and I love colouring them!

I used our Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. The flowers are so large, they are a joy to colour. I used 3 shades for both the petals and the leaves.

I started with the lightest colour and covered the whole area. Then used the mid colour, not covering quite as much and finally I used the darkest colour. I used this down the centre line of the leaves and towards the base of each petal. I finished by blending everything using the lightest colour again. I used the light Pool Party Blends around the complete image.

I did a second set of flowers and cut them out by hand. These I shaped using a Bone Folder and my fingers and then layered them on top of the originals to add dimension.


The sentiment mat was cut using the smallest of the Stitched Seasons dies. I told you how I did this in my post on Monday  ...  HERE.

The sentiment itself came from the Very Vintage Hostess stamp set.
