These stamps are so classic and elegant. I love anything that is vintage-y for Christmas. So, I kept my color palette very traditional and bright. I used all the ink pads that come in the kit. There are five ink pads - three red/pink and two green. The poinsettias have three layers of stamps, so you use three shades of red. They stamp like a dream! The kit has a diagram on the packaging to show you exactly how to line up the stamps. The dies cut the perfect edge around the flowers and leaves. I used the darkest red shade to stamp my sentiment.
Here is a close up of how I layered my flowers. I popped them up with foam tape. The pretty green gems are included in the kit. You get the stamps, dies, gems in two colors, and five ink pads. Really, everything you need to get started and create pretty cards.
Thank you for coming by my blog today! Have fun looking at all the pretty creations made with this kit. Have a super week! CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL THE BLOGS PARTICIPATING TODAY!
Beautiful card! Love how you surrounded the sentiment with the lovely poinsettias!

Love the layering, but I guess that's what grabs your attention on the card! Honestly, the kit looks like a great way to start the holiday season. I have not bought kits before, but I think that will change with this first HA one! Thanks for sharing.
