I am thrilled to have been asked to take part in Day 2 of the Festive Fun Blog Hop! Thanks Heidi, Susan and all at Simon HQ!
You should have arrived here from the super talented Alberto Gava's Blog, if not then you may need to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Store Blog
I have 3 cards to share today, first up is a card made using a gorgeous Abundant Leaf Background Die Set and a Poinsettia Swag Stamp Set for the sentiment
I used watercolor paper and distress inks to color, I smooshed the ink pads onto a craft mat, spritzed with water and then dipped the watercolor into the inks, I repeated this step, drying in between dips, I then popped a piece of Simon Says Stamp Color Blend Cardstock behind the acetate and Gold Heat Embossed the sentiment
Next up is a card made using a beautiful Fluted Forest Decor Embossing Folder
I simply layered with Matte Gold Card Stock, added some Pawsitively Dazzling Gold Gems, May Arts Gold String and finished with a CZ Designs Joyeux Noël Die Set
last but not least is a little card made using a very pretty Heartfelt Snowflake Die and Champagne Glitter Cardstock, with a peek of black cardstock behind it. I used the same Poinsettia Swag Stamp Set for the sentiment and clear heat embossed it
I will be mass producing this one. It's simple but great for production line mode ;-)
There is a fabulous 25 voucher up for grabs on every stop along the hop, so don't forget to leave a comment before you leave :-)
From here you need to hop along to the fabulously talented Tracy Ware to see what gorgeousness she has created!!

Beautiful cards. Love the acetate idea as a background.
Very cool acetate card. Very inspiring.
Great idea to mass produce the snowflake card.
Thanks for sharing
I would love to know how you achieved the effect for the leaves on the first card. Did you do full coverage and spritz with water after? Or did you pounce it on? It looks so good! All three cards are lovely, but the first is definitely my favorite.
Such cute cards!!
Beautiful cards! I especially love the clear card. That is so much fun!

Wonderful cards today, but I especially liked the way you had the black peeking out from behind the snowflake to set it off against the background. Nicely done!

All three of your samples are so elegant, but Wow, that first one on the acetate-so beautiful and creative! I also appreciate your third one to "mass produce". I always have good intentions on my Christmas cards, but am usually scrambing at the last minute to get them done, so great idea.

The gold and white on the card is simply elegant.
