Hey everybody,
Welcome to Clearly Besotted Stamps Blog Hop. It is Clearly Besotted Stamps second anniversary. I am so honoured Stephanie asked me to be part of this fabulous blog hop. Congrats Stephanie on the second anniversary and thank you so much for asking me to be part of the blog hop.
You should have come from the talented and gorgeous Jennifer McGuire's blog. If not don't worry, I will give you the list of participant later in the hop.
This post is filled with lots and lots of photos as I loved this month's release that I got carried away and made a whole lot of cards. So make yourself a cup of coffee and browse through the post :)
I have made two set of cards using the new Sentiment Christmas stamp set called Most Wonderful. First set of cards is vintage collection and the second set of cards using chalkboard technique.
Here is the vintage collection of cards.
Here is all of them together.
I have diecut the rectangle panel from Pretty Pink Posh's Stitched Duo 2 die set and Optimist pattern paper pad from Prima Marketing. I combined three stamps from the Most Wonderful Stamp set to stamp using white pigment ink and white heat emboss. I then used the leaves stamp from Little Pudding stamp set to stamp and white heat emboss. I have used sequins from Classic Christmas mix from Pretty Pink Posh to add berries and accent. I then layered this sentiment panel with pattern papers. I glued this on the card base matted with vintage pattern paper. I recall the vintage pattern paper from Bella Boulevard Christmas collection from last year. I followed the similar procedure with different pattern paper from the same collection to make a set of vintage collection Christmas cards.
My next set of Christmas cards uses Chalkboard technique. I have used the sentiment stamp from the new Most Wonderful stamp set.
Here are all the five cards together.
Now, this is not all. I told you I got excited with the new release. Here is one more card.
For this card, I have used the new Little Pudding Stamp set.
I have a slideshow to show you how I made this card.
Hope you are inspired to use these gorgeous new stamp sets from Clearly Besotted to make some great Christmas cards this year! You next stop is to another talented designer Jen Nelson .
Happy Hopping!

wow beautiful cards and lots in different styles.Great to see the various designs with the same stampset.
The vintage and chalkboard cards are striking but my favourite is the Christmas pudding x x ,
Awesome use of products and fantastic creations.
Great set of cards! So much texture and a really different look that would set your card apart. But I think the one with the wood panel background is my favorite :) I'm just a sucker for the wood-grain.
Fantastic production of cards. All very pretty.
Wonderful cards. Very original but with a vintage feel.
These are spectacular! Lately I am REALLY loving the look of the black chalkboard technique for Christmas cards, which is strange because black isn't exactly a traditional Christmas color. I LOVE those sequin accents too! They really POP against the black! Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your art with us!
Wow! I love the dramatic effect with the bright white and the black. The little accent of color really pops! Again, Wow! Awesome cards!
Thank u for ur ideas
You have been busy! All the cards are very nice.
Love your cards! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful cards! I love how clearly besotted used different fonts on the sentiments, really eye-catching!
I love the addition of black to your cards. They look so elegant. This sentiment stamp makes such a nice, bold statement. It would be great for making a lot of cards, assembly line style.
Wow! What an amazing set of Christmas cards. The lack is very stylish!
Love the boldness of this color scheme! tfs!
So simple, so beautiful.
Well, weren't you a busy bee!! Absolutely gorgeous cards!! I adore how bold they look....really stands out!
