Essentials by Ellen November 2018 Complete Release

I'll be posting all week a few cards that I created with the new release stencil dies and Snow Days stamp set. I was able to get a jump start on a few holiday cards and I can't wait to share them with you!

Mermaid Holiday Wishes---Ornament Cards

When I first saw the Alpine Snowfall die, I could not get the idea of sea bubbles. I knew I needed to pair it with a mermaid tail. Then I realized I could make an ornament from all the different pieces from Alpine Window and them Mermaid Ornament Card moment was realized. Who can't help but fall in love with a magical Christmas Mermaid and mistletoe!

Here are a few Fin-tastic tidbits about this card:

The card front holds the Mermaid Ornament in place!

With a quick circle cut on the red card panel (using the Alpine Window large circle die) and some thick foam adhesive to the white card base, the ornament can *sit* right in the card.

It includes lots of glitter: Glitter Paper & Embossing powder
The little mistletoe is from the recently released Leading Ladies ugly sweater set and die.
The Mermaid Tail! was created using the Inner Mermaid Stamp and Matching Die.
To create the waves, I trimmed away the house and trees from the Alpine snow die cuts.
To create the ornament I secured (with tape) red baker's twine to the back of the Alpine snow die cut and then glued a 3 inch red circle to the back to hide the string.
