Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today and I am thrilled to show you a little sneak peek of the upcoming October Release. This Christmas release is filled with so many fun goodies. I had so much fun playing with this release and have three cards to share with you today showcasing the soon-to-be-released stamp sets.
Merry Christmas! My first card features the super cute Christmas Gingerbread Stamp & Dies, Merry Greetings Stamp & Dies and Layered Sweet Candies Stencil.
I stamped the images from the Christmas Gingerbread stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Christmas Gingerbread Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

For the layout, I used the Layered Sweet Candies Stencil, Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment ink Saltwater Taffy and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide to add a subtle design to a piece of pink cardstock (4” x 5.25”). Next I used the Rounded Stitched Rectangles Dies to diecut a panel out of white cardstock. I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink to lightly ink blended a little color to the white panel. I added a piece of craft foam to the back of the white panel before adhering it to the stenciled pink panel.
For the sentiment, I stamped the “Merry” and “Christmas” from the Merry Greetings stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with White Detailed Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Merry Greetings Dies and the Sentiment Strips Dies to diecut them out.
I adhered the colored images and sentiment to the card front with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).
Have a Joyful Christmas! My second card features the adorable Sweet Christmas Cookies Stamp & Dies, Inside Sentiments: Christmas Stamp & Dies and Layered Holiday Sprinkle Mix Stencil.
I stamped the images from the Sweet Christmas Cookies stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Sweet Christmas Cookies Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

For the layout, I used the Layered Holiday Sprinkle Mix Stencil, Spun Sugar and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide to lightly ink blend a subtle design to a piece of white cardstock (4” x 5.25”). I used a piece of vellum to soften the design on what reminded me of a festive Christmas tablecloth. Next I trimmed a piece of red cardstock and added some stitched details with a white gel pen to represent my table runner.
For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a Joyful Christmas” from the Inside Sentiments: Christmas stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with White Detailed Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Inside Sentiments: Christmas Dies to diecut it out.
I adhered the colored images and sentiment to the card front with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).
Have a Cozy Christmas! My third card features the super fun Cozy Christmas Stamp & Coordinating Dies, Stitched Windows 2 Dies and Cobblestone Stencil.
I stamped the images from the Cozy Christmas stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Cozy Christmas Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

I used the Cobblestone Stencil and some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink to ink blend the stone texture to a piece light gray cardstock (5.5” x 4.25”) to represent the exterior wall of my house.
Next, I used one of the two Stitched Windows 2 Dies to diecut a window into the middle of my gray panel as well as the front panel of a top-folding white A2 cardbase (5.5” x 4.25”). I used the same die to diecut an additional white window frame as well as a long white window sill. I love that this new set has two different sizes of window sill dies to allow for a vertical or horizontal window placement. I adhered a piece of clear acetate to the back of my gray panel. I adhered the gray window frame to the additional white window frame before adhering it to the window opening of the gray panel (on top of the acetate. I adhered this gray panel to the front of the white cardbase making sure to align the window openings. Then, I adhered the white window frame back into the window opening of the cardbase (so as to hide the adhesive from the gray panel).
For the inside of the cardbase, I masked off the top and bottom and used the Windowpane Plaid Stencil and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide to lightly ink blend a subtle stripe wallpaper design.
For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a cozy Christmas” from the Cozy Christmas stamp set onto a piece of tan cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered this piece of tan cardstock onto the bottom of the inside scene to represent my carpet.
I adhered the colored images with liquid glue to keep a low profile for the inside of the cardbase. I adhered the window sill to the card front with foam tape for a bit of dimension.
