Simply Stamping with Narelle: Merriest Moments

Hello and welcome. Today I have my latest Artisan Design Team projects to share with you. The bundle I used was the Merriest Moments stamp set and hybrid embossing folder. This was such an amazing product bundle to play with. The hybrid embossing folder is so different to use.

First of all, here are the projects I made. Then I will share a tip and finally a video on how to use the hybrid embossing folder.

Now if you know me, you will know that these colours are definitely out of my comfort zone when it comes to Christmas. Normally I am a traditional red, green and gold girl. But sometimes you just need to change it up a bit. I actually like the silver and blue colour combination. I think the blue pops and is very eye catching.

You will notice on the bottom card that the stamping is a bit disjointed and not lined up with the embossing folder. Well that is because I hate wasting things. I had stamped a card front and didn't like the way it was looking. So I used the hybrid embossing folder and dies to cut it out. It gives a really different look and is a great tip to remember for using up those projects that don't quite turn out. It's better than throwing them away.

If you haven't yet seen the Merriest Moments bundle, here it is including each of the elements in it.
