Even More Bells & Baubles - Right At Home

Happy Sunday! Just popping in today to share the last few projects I made with Right At Home's new BELLS & BAUBLES stamps and coordinating BELLS & BAUBLES dies.  Such a cheerful and festive set -- I had so much fun making all of these projects!

The first two cards today feature brighter and more festive color schemes than what I've shared previously. 

For this card, I stamped the smallest ornament in rainbow colors, arranged them around a PEACE LOVE JOY sentiment and then filled in with colorful stamped accents.

Of course my eye goes right to the bad stamping on the red accent. I hope in the overall colorful arrangement, that little mistake is well camouflaged! (And if not, it adds to the handmade charm, right? That's what I'll tell myself, anyway!)

I think my favorite part about this set has been playing around with various color schemes. For this one, I definitely wanted something more reminiscent of vintage glass ornaments, so I picked out lime green, hot pink, aqua, and purple

Also in keeping with the vintage ornament inspiration, I added shimmer to these ornaments, both with embossing powder and with a silver sparkle pen. You can see a little bit of that in the close-up below:

I'm usually a big fan of neutrals and even traditional reds and greens for my holiday cards, but this ended up being one of my favorite cards with this set. What's not to love about bright, cheery colors, right?!

I couldn't resist creating a shaker card for my last card. I chose the ball ornaments for this card, and instead of stamping all the layers, I just stamped one solid background and then silver embossed line detail image. 

My background is ink blended in lime green and purple. I layered my shaker frame onto that and filled it with a coordinating sequin mix.

The sentiment, once again, is from PEACE LOVE JOY, which I really love. The mix of type with large handwritten words and the overall large size are so eye-catching!

That's it for me today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

More Bells & Baubles - Right At Home

I have two more cards to share today, both featuring Right At Home's new BELLS & BAUBLES stamps and coordinating BELLS & BAUBLES dies. I had so much fun with this set!

For both of today's cards, I used a soft aqua/green/grey/navy color combo. This card gives a good look at five of the six ornaments in the set. (Don't feel bad for the sixth - her day is coming!)

In addition to all the ornaments in the set, there is one sentiment, "Holly Jolly," which fits perfectly into one of the ornaments.

To finish this card, I placed all the ornaments onto a white background and accented with clear sequins.

Same color combo on this card (just different lighting): aqua, green, gray, and navy.

The sentiment is from PEACE LOVE JOY, also by Right At Home. 

I used a portion of one of the ornament layers to stamp some light gray accents, then adhered clear gems to the centers.

I topped these ornaments with baker's twine for some texture. 

Along the left side of the background layer, I did some ink-blending and splattering in light aqua ink. And along the right side, I added a scalloped border and some score lines for a subtle detail.

That's it for today. I have three more cards to share on Sunday. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Bells & Baubles - Right At Home

I recently had the chance to play around with a new ornament-building stamp set from Right At Home called BELLS & BAUBLES. I think these are just about the most darling ornament images ever -- a little bit whimsical, a little bit vintage, and just delightful! Once I got started, I couldn't stop, as you'll see over the next few days ;)

This first card features five of the six ornament styles. Each ornament has 3-4 different layers, which makes color building and layering super fun. The ornament toppers and bows are separate images too, each with their own coordinating dies.

I arranged all of my ornaments around the large sentiment, which is from the PEACE LOVE JOY set.

Finishing touch was a scattering of clear sequins. This could easily be turned into a one-layer card, too, just by stamping the ornaments directly onto the background. Personally, I'm a messy stamper, so all that stamping onto a *white* background would pretty much be a disaster waiting to happen - ha. The coordinating BELLS & BAUBLES dies are a must for me!

My next card is inspired by Scandinavian holiday decor, which is always a favorite of mine. I love all the neutrals with pops of red.

For this one, I stamped a trio of ornaments in a mix of light grey, dark grey, red, black and white and placed them onto a white-splattered kraft background.

I used the same large PEACE LOVE JOY sentiment, but this time with "from all of us" rather than "wishing you."

That's it for today. Check back tomorrow for more BELLS & BAUBLES.

Hope you're having a great week. Thanks for visiting!

National Craft Month Celebration Blog Hop

Hi there, I'm excited to be joining Right At Home today for their National Craft Month Celebration Blog Hop. I can't think of a better reason to hop than celebrating the crafting hobby and community we all love so much!

You should have arrived here from crafting rockstar Laurie Willison. If not, you can find the beginning of the hop HERE with Nicole from Right At Home. 

Check out this absolutely darling stamp set, Make Something Beautiful, that Right At Home is releasing for this occasion! Hop with us and comment along the way for a chance to win this set.

Make Something Beautiful is perfect for all kinds of crafter-to-crafter cards and gifts! I decided to put together some quick and simple gift bags for some of my crafty friends. 

I started with some chalk paper bags from Jillibean Soup, then stamped some of the images randomly in white ink for that chalkboard look. 

After filling each one with crafty goodies, I folded a circle die-cut over the top, then added a wood veneer heart and the "do what you love" sentiment. 

These came together in minutes and look fantastic thanks to the adorable images. I can't wait to share these at my next crafty outing!

I am the last stop on today's hop. Thanks so much for joining us today!
