The next prompt at Jingle Belles is “Something Old… Something New“ … we’d like to see holiday cards on which you combine an item or two that you’ve had in your craft stash for a bit (or in my case quite a bit) together with something new that you received for the holidays… or shopped for yourself!
I started with my new item, which is the Hero Arts A Little Merri-Mint stamps & coordinating dies that Santa Stephanie gifted me for Christmas (I love how she always knows exactly what I want LOL). I stamped a candy cane facing each direction (I also love that the set has both) together with the snarky sentiment that made me giggle.
I found this older red Gelliarts print in my stash that has hints of red snowflakes peeking out from the silvery paint on the background and I die cut it using a long-neglected and never-used Nordic Frames Die from The Greetery.
I attached the stamped & die cut images using foam tape for dimension and finished with a few clusters of very adhesive white pearls from my stash.
And since I have both a New and Never-Used in this design (together with a cheeky sentiment), I’m linking-up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers N is for New or Never.
I’m also linking-up at the Inspire.Create. Something New Stamping Challenge.
Don’t wait over five years to use your new schtuff … break it out, and come join us.
I’m also linking-up at Just Add Ink Challenge with my Christmas Seasonal Candy Canes.
Ohhhhhh that print makes a perfect background!
Love when a stamp sets gives you options like multi directional candy canes!
Thanks for celebrating the NEW year with Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!
A lovely selection of Christmas themed products. Love the detail in your background panel and the fun sentiment! Chantell Just Add Ink
Love this soooooooooo much! Thanks for playing with the sistahs and sharing your new goodies, Jo x
Oh, this card is great! It gave me a good chuckle. I’m glad you stashed this gelli- print, because it worked so nicely with the candy canes!
I love your sweet card Stef. I think we are all guilty of having things in our stash that are waiting (sometimes for a long time) to be used! Thanks for joining in with us at Just Add Ink. Lou
I NEED this sentiment! I have so many candy cane dies and this is so perfect. Thanks so much for thinking of us at the Sisterhood, Stef! Love this card.
Such a fun card. The red against the white is stunning! A great card to get started on this year’s Christmas cards. Thanks for playing along at Just Add Ink. Rochelle xo
