The Greetery A Song Of Christmas Reveal Day 2 {Deck the Halls!}

Welcome to day 2 of full reveals for the A Song of Christmas release from The Greetery! Wasn't yesterday such a treat? I enjoyed looking at each of the designers' beautiful creations! Today we'll begin with the new Mistletoe Arches die/stencil set, but first, make sure to head to The Greetery Blog for the official "meet and greet" for each of today's featured products! Also, leave a comment here and on each designers' blog for a chance to win one of two $50 gift certificates to the shop!

I decided to make two cards using the new Mistletoe Arches die/stencil set paired with the new Arched Holiday Stamp Set and coordinating die. I was thrilled when I saw that Betsy had come out with a holiday version of the arched set that was released back in July. I couldn't decided which one of the gorgeous sentiments to use, so I made two cards and even managed to use a third on my next project I'm sharing today.

I mentioned yesterday that I was going to showcase another dove from the Peaceful Dove stamp/die set and here she is in all her glory! She looks perfect paired with the Peace sentiment; this card all done in neutrals!

To begin both of these cards, I die cut the Mistletoe Arch from white cardstock and then used the stencil set to add the color. I used two colors of ink for both steps of the greenery; Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink for the first step and Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness for the second step. I added some of the extra leaves and berries that are included in the die set to give it a bit of dimension. I also added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to some of the berries for some shine and interest.

This one was colored with the same greens, but the berries are Festive Berries and Saltwater Taffy. You're finally seeing a bit of traditional Christmas from me! ha ha!  I die cut the arch using the previously released A2 Arches die and then used the new Arched Holiday Sentiments stamp set to stamp the "May your holiday be filled with Love & Light". I also die cut the "merry christmas"  portion of the sentiment and then stamped it using my mini MISTI.

You can add shading like I did here using the new A2 Arches stencils; this is especially useful if you're not making a layered card, but rather just stenciling the arch shape.  I tucked in some flowers and greenery that was showcased yesterday and is from the new Winter Medley Die. I also added some glitter here and there for some holiday sparkle!

As you can see, I'm loving the Mistletoe Arches and used it again for this card! This one features two of the new Jumbo Curiosity Ornament dies. There are three in the collection, and a beautiful bell that I didn't get a chance to use! I will remedy that soon! ha ha!

I had so much fun die cutting and coloring all the pieces for these two ornaments. I actually made a third ornament hoping to use it on this card, but design wise, I just couldn't make it work! 

I added some Winter Medley sprigs here and there (surprise)  and some silver cord to the holes at the top of the ornaments.

I opted to go with Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink for the sentiments so that it wouldn't be too stark.

I had so much fun working on all of these cards for today! Thanks for fluttering by!
