Hello, and welcome to the Winter 2015 Essentials by Ellen Release Hop! I’ll be showcasing several of the new stamp sets and dies on my post today!
First I’d like to introduce you to Hello Gorgeous and the You Rock Designer Die Set!
~
~
There’s lot of sparkle and shine here, folks! I used the You Rock Designer Die Set with smooth gold cardstock, then added lots of other golden sparkle with various designer papers. The “hey girl” and Shine were stamped in Versafine and the heart from Love You So (another new set!) was stamped in Distress Picked Raspberry.
Up next is a card made with the Love You So stamp set and a fabulous new Designer Die called Diagonal Window.
~
~
The hot pink card stock was cut using the Diagonal Window Designer Die. I used my paper piecing tool to roll each of the flaps back and then tied twine bows in the two side flaps. Inside the window you can see my watercolored panel. I used Distress inks for this after I first embossed the fabulous sentiment and one of the hearts in white. The larger heart was stamped in Picked Raspberry after all the water colors dried. I added some sequins for a little more girly sparkle!
So that’s it for my designs using these awesome new stamp and die sets from the Winter 2015 Essentials By Ellen release.
And, yay!!! I also get to give this new stamp set, called LOVE YOU SO by Julie to a lucky someone! Please leave a comment to enter my giveaway!
There is also a Grand Giveaway in the CLASSroom! To enter, be sure to leave a comment there, and at every stop along the hop by March 2nd; winners will be announced March 4th!
