OSAT Tis the Season Blog Hop with Sentimental Wishes Bundle

           

The November One Stamp At a Time Tis the Season Blog Hop begins today and I'm finally creating some Christmas cards!  It's been quite the end of Summer/Beginning of Fall for me with a broken ankle!  I'm super excited to be free of that cast and walking boot and able to walk into my craft room and get started creating!

For my cards I used the Sentimental Wishes Bundle along with the Sentiment Christmas DSP.  

I absolutely love the nostalgic feel of this suite!  I also loved the price point for this bundle!  At just $38.50 US this is a winner! The bundle includes just 5 dies which is the reason for the low price point but paired with the DSP for an additional $12.50, this gives you so much bang for the buck!  

My first card is so simple featuring the stocking that was cut from the DSP with the coordinating dies!

The background is simply more of the beautiful nostalgic DSP matted on Poppy Parade Cardstock and then added to a Shaded Spruce top folding card base!  The circle dies are from the Spotlight on Nature Dies (Shaded Spruce) and the Stylish Shapes Dies (Basic White).  I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set directly onto the background DSP.  I cut the stocking out the coordinating die directly from the DSP (I love when we can do that!)   I added some Real Red and White baker's twine around the stocking and then popped it up on the layered circles with the Stampin' Dimensionals!  This is absolutely a case of letting the DSP do the work on this card!

My next card was very sentimental to me because it reminded me of my childhood and our Christmas candles that were always in our windowsills!

I stamped the candle image on some basic white card stock and did a quick simple coloring.  I added some of the greenery leaves cut from more of the Shaded Spruce Cardstock behind the cut out candle.  It was all layered onto a Basic White Spotlight on Natures diecut and then layered onto Poppy Parade and more Shaded Spruce to make the focal image a little more dynamic.  I used a top folding Shaded Spruce card base with more of the DSP panels added onto Poppy Parade mats.  I added some of the Real Red and White Baker's Twine around the panels before attaching them to the card base and added a scrap of White and Silver ribbon into the twine bow.  

I hope this gives you a couple of card ideas with the awesome Sentiment Christmas Suite.  It really is one of my favorites!
