Hello and welcome to Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Christmas in July Die Release and Blog Hop!
We're highlighting two new die sets that coordinate with two popular sets released last year - Poinsettias and Vintage Ornaments!
I hope you can join us to see what the design team have come up and get some inspiration for your holiday card making!
For my first card I used a favorite colour combo of pink and green using
Stampin Up dp and cardstock (Lucky Limeade).
I stitched the dp onto die-cuts using the
recently released beautiful SNSS Doily border dies.
I sponged the die-cut ornament with Melon Mambo ink lightly
before stamping in the same colour.
I wish the photo showed the tiny gold flecks in this card stock - but even if you could see how pretty it is in real life, I couldn't point you in the direction of where to pick some up
as I have no idea where it came from! How does that happen? :)

I sponged the ornament die-cut with Melon Mambo ink before embossing with gold ink. I covered the entire Doily Border die-cut with gold embossing ink and then embossed with gold powder for thick rich gold effect. I did the same thing with the little punched snow flakes - not easy to do without burning my fingers - I had to dig out some tweezers!
Here are the Vintage Ornaments stamps and dies plus the details you might be interested in:
Die set includes four dies.
It's designed by Korin Sutherland.
It's priced $16.75.
It coordinates with the Vintage Ornament stamp set below:
Poinsettias
I'm very into making backgrounds with stencils right now and simply sponged over one with Ranger Distress Mowed Lawn ink before popping up the poinsettia which was coloured with copics - the die makes it so easy!
I used a sentiment from the SNSS set Christmas Light .

That pink sure is bright! I do love that poinsettia card - and the sentiment is beautiful as well. Love how you did the bg lattice. Very nice!

Wow! Great cards! Love the pop of colors on all your cards!
I am partial to the second card just because I am a sucker for gold on Christmas cards, but I love the use of the stencil on the poinsettia card.
All your cards are so pretty!
I love the pink ornaments, very retro!
Gold and bling! Beautiful.
Great color choices, and loved the designs!
Wow! Very pretty cards! Love your bright color combos, very cool gold embossed doily border and lovely stencil background for the poinsettia! Wow, you embossed the snowflakes! They remind me of my white snowflake brads, that's what I thought they were, but gold. :)

Gorgeous cards Bridget. Love the sponging on the ornaments along with the embossing. The background for your pretty poinsettia is fabulous!
Fantastic cards. Love the bright colors you have used.
I never think to use pink when I am making Christmas cards, but I alw love it when others do. Your ornament cards are just beautiful. Love how they are sort inverses of ea other....sort of same colors, but one mostly pink with some gold and the other mostly gold with some pink. Gorgeous!!

Your three cards are fabulous! I couldn't pick one as I love them all. Love the background on the third, the elegance of the second and the colors on the first. TFS
Beautiful cards! Love the colors you used!
Gorgeous cards. I love your choice of colors!!
Gorgeous cards. The first card I love the color combination. It's beautiful. The second card I also love the color combination and the pearls. I really love this card. The third card I like the background with the stencil done to it. That is awesome.
Love these cards!! Love the pink and green. And the stencil behind the poinsettia is very cool. Great work!! :) Thanks for sharing.

Lovely cards Bridget ! I want the stencil used on the Poinsettia background. It is the same one used for your 26 MAY 13 Serene Bird card. I contacted the company & she said they no longer make it. Any suggestions for a similar one? Hugs from the USA :)
Robyn Lynn, thanks for your kind comments. Yes, it's the same stencil and I'm sorry it's unavailable now! Guess I should be glad I picked it up! I can only suggest looking at The Crafters Workshop website, as I believe they have the biggest selection of stencils at the moment:

The stencil which closest resembles the one I used seems to be this one:
Window Screen TCW334
However, there is a huge selection, so there may be one you like even better! Good luck!
