The first set is Becky Oehler's Mistletoe Memories. This is a really cool two step set that allows you lots of different ways to arrange the mistletoe in addition to adding the berries.
I really like the stitch detail around the leaves and berries. I stamped the mistletoe in Memento Cottage Ivory and used Rhubarb Stalk to give it more color.
Pattern is from Merry Little Christmas pack.
Cardstock is Pure Luxury Ivory and the new Christmas Pine. I added a pierced detail with the Scor-Bug embosser to coordinate with the stitching in the image.
TIP: Do your Scor-Bug embossing on the back of your mat and flip to give it a raised bump, which is sometimes more noticeable than the pierced holes.
Next we have Simple Snowflakes by Tami Mayberry. I love a "punchy" set like this, so I stamped them several times in the same colors as above with a 1 1/4" punch and arranged them on an ivory base.
I added a 1 3/8" circle punch of the new Christmas Pine CS to accent the center flake. I also added some small adhesive rhinestones.
Our last set today is Beth Silaika's Deck the Halls. Do you love these two step ornaments, or what?
I popped the cut ornaments over the stamped wire and used a scrap from another print in this pack to make a border. Cardstock is Pure Luxury Ivory and inks are Memento Rich Cocoa, Cottage Ivory, Love Letter, and Rhubarb Stalk. TIP: Stamp the ornaments twice with different inks then snip them up or punch to paper piece for a two tone ornament.
