I have been really enjoying Simon Hurley's products recently so when Spellbinders offered to send some of their new collaboration products from the Joyful Christmas Collection, I jumped at the chance! I received the Folk Art Ornaments stamp set and coordinating dies (yay!), Candy Stripes die set and Ornament String Glimmer Hot Foil plate and coordinating die.
When I saw the nutcracker in the set, I knew I wanted to color it with pastel colors and then coordinating the rest of the card's colors. I picked pastel blue and pink with white and gold to color in the nutcracker. I went through my paper stash and found coordinating cardstock.

I picked gold Glimmer Hot Foil to create my string of ornaments and I started to layer the card together with the white candy stripes on top of the blue paper. It just felt too plain and needed some more pizazz! So I brought out my Lunar Paste and swiped across some Gold Rush to create a paint brush look of gold across the card. It also grounded my nutcracker once I assembled the card together.
It is so exciting that Simon Hurley has coordinating dies for his stamp sets - I love that the dies also coordinate around the sentiments! That is seriously the best and I'm looking forward to the future releases between Ranger and Spellbinders!
