MCS New Release Day 1 - Wise Men Still Seek Him

Good morning! I'm so excited to be kicking off the first day of sneak peeks for the Winter Release at My Craft Spot! Today we are sharing peeks of 2 new banner die sets, and a new stamp set called Christmas Banner Sentiments, that conveniently coordinate perfectly with each other! Here is what I made for today:


This was one of those ideas that pops into your head when you are falling asleep at night, and then has to be made as quickly as possible in the morning! I started off by stamping and heat embossing the star from Chunky Alphabet stamp set in yello, then I cut a circle mask out of some plain white paper with a Spellbinders die, laid it over some Avery Elle gray cardstock, and then inked inside the circle with 2 different colors of distress ink, blending in the middle. I added a spray of Smooch Spritz, then pulled the mask off and let it dry.


Next, I cut, stamped, and folded the banner, and attached it on the bottom. I cut the little wiseman using my Silhouette Cameo. I wanted to fit 3 of them on, but couldn't get them to cut as small as I wanted, so I just settled for the one.


Thanks so much for stopping by! Make sure and head over to My Craft Spot next to see what the rest of the design team put together, and enter today's giveaway!
