Essentials by Ellen Blog Hop

Hello and Happy World Card Making Day!

Today I’m honored to be a special guest for the Essentials by Ellen Blog Hop! We’re so excited to unveil a brand new line of high quality Clear Stamp Sets and Designer Dies, designed by Julie Ebersole exclusively for Ellen Hutson LLC.

This collection reflects an eclectic mix of images, sentiments and art styles that are sure to appeal to a wide range of tastes!  Just in time for holiday crafting, the entire release is available now at Ellen Hutson LLC.

Ready to see what I created? Let’s go…

Pretty Pink Posh

My first card features the adorable gingerbread man from Tis the Season. I just love this little guy! I added the sprig from Christmas Scribbles to the top of the tags, which made it feel more festive and also brought in the green from the card base.

The little tags are from the brand new Stitched Tags die set I released (and will be at Ellen Hutson soon). I created a card, but you could easily just stamp one of the gingerbread men on a tag and make it a gift tag- easy peasy!

Pretty Pink Posh

My next card showcases the three new brushstroke word dies- peace, love and joy. These brushstroke dies are so neat and versatile- they can work for cards and tags all year round! I paired these dies up with the Bokeh Dots set, which has all sorts of circular images and well, dots. *wink*

Pretty Pink Posh

It’s hard to tell from this photo, but I actually die cut these words multiple times and adhered them together- it’s gives them an almost chipboard kind of look. (You’ll see this better in the video below) It had been a while since I broke out my metallic silver ink pad, but I love the little hints of sparkle you get from the circle shapes, along with the sequins.

Pretty Pink Posh

My last card shows off the Brushstroke Joy die, along with the Christmas Scribbles set. I started off with the Stitched Duo 1 die as my focal point and created this little scene from there. You could easily switch out the turquoise for pink, purple, red or orange to change up the feel of the card. Imagine a trio of different colors in this design!

Pretty Pink PoshDid you happen to notice the itty bitty dots on the light blue cardstock? That stamp is from Bokeh Dots (which I go a little more in depth about in my video). You know how sometimes you need a little filler stamp for the blank areas on a card? This tiny dot is so perfect for that!

Once I finished my card, I realized it was a little flat, so I added my handy dandy sequins to dress things up. I used the 6mm Espresso, 6mm Sparkling Clear and 4mm Sparkling Clear. It’s such an easy step, but it really is the perfect finishing touch to so many projects!

Pretty Pink Posh

It wouldn’t be a real blog hop without some sort of prize and the gals at Ellen Hutson have graciously allowed me to give the Tis the Season set away. All you have to do is leave a comment and one lucky winner will win this fun set!

Okay, now it’s time to to move on to the next stop and more chances at some prizes!

Head over to the CLASSroom, where there is a GIANT prize package being given away—be sure to leave a comment there by October 8th; winners will be announced October 9th!

Still can’t get enough? I filmed a video showcasing all of the new dies and stamp sets more in depth, along with some peeks at more cards I created with these products.
