My first card today stays 'seasonal' with a Christmas theme.   It uses the new Argyle Layering Stencil Set for the background.

To make this card I used Distress Ink in Picket Fence to ink blend the first stencil on to pink cardstock.   I then took the second stencil, layered it over the top and I used a silvery/gold Gelly Roll by Sakura to apply the streaks of sparkle which look like metallic thread has been woven through it and catches the light beautifully as seen in the photo below but especially when the card is handled.

I trimmed down this panel and layered it over other panels to get a very sturdy and stacked frame appearance and applied it to a 110lb white cardstock base.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped my images from Tree Trimming Friends (from a previous release) using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.   I Copic coloured these sweet little images and die cut using the coordinating dies.  I also die cut 4 or 5 more times just from plain white cardstock and adhered each die cut to the next to make a nice dimensional stack.   These characters were attached to the main panel and I stamped a sentiment from the Tree Trimming set and applied that with dimensional foam tape.

My second card jumps all the way into a fresh Spring look and features the brand new and ever so beautiful Be Courageous stamp set that has a coordinating die that cuts out the inside of the frame.   In the background I have used the new slimline Argyle Layering Stencil Set and given it a different look.

To create this card I first die cut a panel of white cardstock using the Slim Diagonal Stitched Rectangles Die which was part of a form release.  This was attached to a slimline card base.   I then used the Argyle stencil to create a background.   I ink blended first with green and then with the second stencil layer with pink ink.   I trimmed down this panel so that the design on the white panel would show and I adhered it.

I have a regular sized Misti which isn't quite large enough to stamp the floral border and so I stamped the image using an extended cutting plate for my Cuttlebug as my giant stamping block.  The image was stamped using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and I die cut using the coordinating die which removes the centre to reveal the prettiest frame.

I used Copic markers to colour up the floral images, I backed it with foam tape and applied it over the Argyle.   I was sure to coordinate my colours from the background with my florals.

Finally, I grabbed some coordinating cardstock and a die cut the words 'best' and 'wishes' 6 times over from the 'Phrase Builder : Sending' die set.  I stacked them together glueing each one to the next so that the sentiment really pops and I set it inside the frame.   Last but not least a I chose a smaller sentiment from 'Be Courageous' and stamped and applied that in the lower right hand corner.   A few of Pinkfresh's jewel accents finish out the card.
