Today is the second day of the SSS 2 day blog hop celebrating their brand new All the Joy release. I have a card to share with you using the Fancy Ornaments Embossing Folder and Cutting Die. I have too many favorite products from this release to say it is my favorite, but I do really love this set. Here is an image:
Here is my card:
I first embossed the Fancy Ornaments embossing folder with 110 lb. Neenah white cardstock. I then die-cut the 3 ornaments included with the embossing folder several times. I taped them all inside the folder and embossed all of them at one time. This saved a lot of time.
I used all jewel tones of Pawsitively Saturated Inks in the Trio's they come in. You can see all the colors I used in the supply list. I started with the darkest color on the top of each ornament and moved to the lighter colors at the bottom. I then very carefully went over all of the embossed edges with a silver Uniball Gel Pen. I will admit to having a very steady hand which greatly helps in artwork. I always worry I am going to lose that with age! But the Uniball lets out quite a bit of ink so it is somewhat forgiving. I just made the lines thicker when I made mistakes. I did have to redo a couple, but overall it wasn't too hard to decorate them. I also used the uniball to add dots over all of the raised dots on the background to hang the ornaments.
I then attached all of the colored ornaments over the background. I then embossed a sentiment from the Graceful Holiday Sentiments stamp set with silver embossing powder. I attached it to the bottom of the card with foam tape behind it. I added 3 sequins from the two new mixes in the release: Confetti Gumdrops and Confetti Frosty Pines.
I've already shared two other cards with the new release which I'll show here with links to the blog posts in case you want to see them. The first one matches this card perfectly. I must like these colors for Christmas!
This was made with the Small Bottle Brush Tree Dies and the Large Bottle Brush Tree Dies. I used the same Graceful Holiday Greetings stamp set for the sentiment. You can see that blog post HERE.
This card uses the Once Upon A Time stamp and die bundle and the Holiday Color Blend Cardstock for the background. This blog post is HERE.

What a beautiful and imaginative card. At first I thought you had cut the ornaments from shimmer cardstock. The blending and ink colors are so beautiful and the silver gel pen adds the perfect embellishment!
