Scenes in a Sip cards

 

Altenew released their Scenes in a Sip stamps and dies in July, and they sold out quickly. My local stamp shop/now online shop was offering an online class with this order, as soon as the restocks were filled. My order came last week, and I couldn't wait to give it a try.

I knew I'd need some festive elements to go with these cards. I pulled out some dies from Hello Bluebird, and look what I found in the storage envelope: Mary Rose 2025 had saved a bunch of die cuts for future use!

Mary Rose 2025 had also saved some embossed panels that were perfect for these cards. It sure made the crafting session a lot easier yesterday.

This was a really fun set to play with. It was easy to get the layered images with my MISTI, and that spoon is just too cute.

I chose to die cut the mug and layer it on top of the embossed panel. But this set also comes with a stamp that gives the mug a nice shadow if you chose to make a one-layer card. I'll be trying that soon.

These cards all got a little Wink of Stella snowy sparkle. I'm going to try them with some WOW embossing powders, too.

I don't have a plan for Christmas cards this year, other than trying really hard to get more creative and use what I have.

Have you seen any new trends for Holiday 2026? I think my trend will be "frugal".
