Introducing the Ellen Hutson Christmas Release

By Laurel on October 9, 2020October 9, 2020

I have Christmas on the brain… Last year, I was in Italy on Christmas. I am grateful for that trip because who knew the world would shut down just a few months later! The Merry Little Christmas stamp set and coordinating die comes with fun village images and trees and such. You could also make tags with this stamp set, but I chose to create a scenic village that reminded me of a trip years ago with the family when we went to Stowe, Vermont.

 

Stamping the images and watercoloring in the sky and road was really all that was needed to pull this scenic card together.

The Made This For You stamp set is comprised of lots of small images.. Great for tag making, but again – I made a card focusing on the small images……

A snowy, textured scene was my intent for this next card. I love the Birch Tree Die…. I love birch trees so naturally, I had to use this die…. I paired it with the Twirling Flurries Die (see the background there) and added lots of embossing paste to act as snow.

 

The full release can be viewed HERE! There are a ton of products in this release and I am only showcasing a hand full today. So be sure to check out the release page and let me know what catches your eye!
