The Essentials by Ellen December release is HERE!

Hi there! I’ve got happy news for ya! The December Essentials by Ellen release is HERE!! It’s so good you all! Julie has done it again!

I just may have gotten a little carried away!! I made FIVE cards using the these High Five stamps and dies along with the Hands dies — they’re made for each other! Here are those stamps and dies — full supply list below!

The High Five stamp and die combo is HERE or purchase the stamps and dies individually!

Pro Tip: The hands dies don’t cut completely out so that you can make ’em as long as you need! CLAPPING!!! :)

Each of my cards is on the clean and simple side, but each one has a little twist, too! So I thought I’d share a little bit about ’em.

First up, this mondo squishy little number:

For this one, I stamped the “mondo squishy” hugs using my trusty MISTI tool on a white base card. Then I die cut the hands, and then I die cut a heart using the High Fives dies and adhered it to scrap paper and stamped that with my MISTI so it would line up — woo yeah!!! I added the heart to the card with foam tape for a lil dimension.

Then it was just a matter of adding some washi and heart droplets. I heart those hearts! BTW, I’ve been using that gingham washi on everything lately — can’t get enough of it!

Oh and! The inside of the card is lined with pink paper so you see some of that peeking through. :)

I love this “I got you” card. For this one I made my base card out of pink cardstock, then die cut the hands from a white panel and adhered it with a gluestick. Love how the die doesn’t cut the hands completely out so it looks like they’re reaching.

Next, this fun one!

For this one, I switched things up and lined the inside of the card with blue paper. Love how it goes with those droplets!

I cut the hand and the bubble out of the front, then stamped the “just waving hello” on the inside. This is the kinda card you can make a bunch of and send them to everyone you know.

Last but not least…blowing some kisses your way! Here’s the outside:

And the inside!

Here are some basic supplies — I highly recommend the On Point Glue for adhering the droplets. There’s a nifty little pin in the lid that keeps it from drying out or clogging up, yeah!
