The Christmas Mandala – Two Ways! | By Desiree Kuemmerle

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today I will be creating two cards featuring the Christmas Mandala Stamp and Die Set! We can now combine stamping and die cutting together to achieve the look of layers!

First, I stamped all of my images using a clear sticky ink for the embossing powder application! I chose aqua card stock and gold embossing powder as my colors for today’s cards…

After all the images are stamped and covered with embossing powder I will heat set the images until the powder is smooth and melted. I use the coordinating die to cut out our images.

For the first card I used three snowflakes set as the background and popped up using double sided foam squares with my sentiment set off to the side.

The second card I stamped the tree and added a highlight with white charcoal pencil and blended with a blending stump. I grabbed my glitter cards stock and the tree die from the set to create the layer on top of my stamped image.

Once the design panels were set onto a standard A2 size card base, I chose aqua and green fairy crystals to embellish each card!

As always, I hope you enjoyed today’s project… and if you want to see more details just click on the video below and see how these projects come together step by step!
