Christmas Stacked Books

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you celebrating Christmas in July? Brass and Bliss is definitely Decking the Halls this week starting on the 25th with a brand NEW Christmas Release! I'm giving you a little preview of what is to come with my favorite set of the release called Winter Stacked Books 37036. It is perfect for the bookworms in your life. I also love the background stamp of the first card, Christmas Mash-Up 37038. Please use my links above or below to shop!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Are you a book worm? What are you reading?
A: Yes! I love real books in your hand not a kindle, I'm reading the Co-Worker by Frieda McFadden

 Card #1: Stacks of Christmas Joy

Step #1: I started my card by stamping the Brass & Bliss Christmas Mash Up in Color Fuse Crimson Ink and die-cutting it with the outline dies.

Step #2: I die cut the background again with Brass & Bliss Postage Stamp Nested Die 5806D and mounted it on Brass & Bliss Boughs of Joy 6x6 Paper 2304. Then, I used the smallest of the Postage Stamp Nested Die to create the background for my sentiment.

Step #3: I stamped my favorite sentiment from the stamp set on the small postage die. I colored up the stack of books and cup of hot cocoa with Copic Markers and put glitter on the star.

Step #4: I finished my card by placing the stacked books tree to the left side of the card and the sentiment offset on the top right.

Card #2: Season's Readings

Step #1: I started my card by picking out papers from the Brass & Bliss Boughs of Joy 6x6 Paper Pack 2304 that match the Copic coloring I did on the stamp stack of books.

Step #2: I used Brass & Bliss Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set 5013D for the Christmas Tree Paper and Brass & Bliss Nested Square Small Stitch Die 5011D for the red snowflake and green stripe paper. I arranged them in the center and then mounted the stacked books on top.

Step #3: I stamped the sentiment Season Greetings on the Brass & Bliss Offset Tag Dies 5605-03D and mounted it on my card coming from the left side.

Step #4: I finished my card by adding gold glitter to the lights on the books and gold glitter enamel dots around the sentiment.
