MFT-ChristmasOrnaments-wm

I have two cards to share with you today! For my first card I have used the new Christmas Ornaments Die-namics & Stamp sets. I used this week’s CPS sketch challenge (CPS241) for the layout of my card.
This is such an awesome set … I have die cut the ornaments using designer paper and then stamped/die cut the pieces to go on top of the ornament. The tiny little tag also comes with the Die-namic die which I used with two of the sentiments included with the stamp set.

This is all layered using the Die-namics Open Scallops Doily die.

Here is the inside of my card. I used the Die-namics Vintage Cameo Frame for my sentiment … I stamped one of the decorations from the Christmas Ornament stamp set on the red portion of the Vintage Cameo Frame.

The border along the bottom edge of my card uses the negative portion of the Die-namics Crown Border die.

 For my second card I used the à la modes Disco Queen stamp set. This card uses a recent sketch from Splitcoast Stampers. The Die-namics used on this card are the Die-namics File Tabs die.
I have created a video to show you how I used the Die-namics Peace Signs die with shrink plastic to create the smaller peace signs I have added to my card.
