I brought in a stamp set from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog for this one. I started out just stamping the full image as a background stamp for my Customer Thank You and Holiday cards! Well, I guess you could say I got way carried away and once I started heat embossing, I just couldn’t stop.

I used Gold Emboss Powder for this project and colored in the leaves with my Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blends!

I embossed the Merry Christmas sentiment also with Gold Emboss Powder onto Evening Evergreen card stock.

A simple strand of the Gold Elegant Trim was all it needed to finish the classic look.

This next project was how I started… super simple, tone-on-tone holiday card in Just Jade.

And then I progressed to this project. Another heat embossed design, but this time, I used White Emboss Powder and used my Blending Brushes in Soft Sea Foam to fill in the negative space with some soft color. This is a fantastic technique for embossed images, especially a full background image like the Festive Foliage stamp set.

After stamping the sentiment i(Heartfelt Wishes) in Evening Evergreen onto Basic White card stock, I trimmed a piece of the Glittered Organdy Ribbon and ran my Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blends over it for a beautiful glittery but sheer accent to the sentiment.

I hope you liked my projects today showcasing a beautiful background stamp that is still available and can be used year round.
