For Day 1 of the reveals, we are showcasing the Holiday Heights Stamp Set + Coordinating Dies, along with the Canine Christmas and Christmas Time Paper Pad with the Christmas Tree Line Stencil.

I started by stamping my images on some X-Press It Blending Card and colored the images in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

On some A2-size Neenah solar white card stock, I used some masking tape and temporarily adhere it diagonally and used some blending brush and SpuN Sugar Distress Oxide ink to slightly add color to this panel. I then used the Starfield Stencil and some texture paste to add more texture to the panel. I set this aside to let it dry for about half an hour and adhered the colored image to the panel.

Next, I adhered the card front on some red notecard. I also adhered some white card stock inside the notecard measuring 4 X 5 1/4.

I die-cut the sentiment strip using a one of the dies from the Frames & Flags die set. I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark ink and sprinkled some white embossing powder. I used my heating tool to heat set and adhered the strip onto the card with liquid glue.

I finished the card design by adding a gold star on top of the tree and gold baubles for added texture. Here’s another look:
