Christmas Collectibles Merry Christmas

I did mention that you would be seeing more of the Christmas Collectibles stamp set and I meant it.  This card features that stamp set on an embossed background.  It is a clean and simple card, and I just love it.

The ornaments were stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock using Cherry Cobbler ink.  I used the coordinating punch to punch each ornament out, and attached them to the card using dimensionals. Some dazzing diamonds was added to the center of each ornament.
Cherry Cobbler Baker's twine suspends the ornaments from the top of the card.

Snowflake Christmas - Technostamper 238

I tried a different technique for this card for the Technostamper challenge here
I'll describe it below.

 

Technique:   

The base of the card is Midnight Muse, layered with Whisper White card stock embossed with the Northern Flurries folder.  The snowflakes on it were lightly sponged with Midnight Muse ink.

The focal image panel was first painted with Frost White shimmer paint, and then sponged with 3 different colors of blue.  From the bottom to the top they are: Baja breeze, Marina Mist and Midnight Muse.  This panel was matted with Midnight Muse card stock.

Then 10 small snowflakes were die cut using the Snow Flurry die and silver glitter paper.  The snowflakes were paired up and a blue glimmer brad was inserted in the middle of each one.  Because 5 snowflakes would not fit in a straight line down the panel, they were off set from each other.

A scalloped silver glitter strip was attached to the left side of the Midnight Muse mat.

Stamps: Joyous Celebration

Inks: Baja Breeze, Marina Mist, Midnight Muse

Papers: Midnight Muse, Whisper White, Silver glitter

Accessories: Northern Flurries die, Snow Flurry die, Scallop border punch, 1" circle punch, 1 1/4" scallop circle die, glimmer brad, Frost White shimmer paint

Christmas Blessings - Try Stampin' on Tuesday

What a beautiful, beautiful day today.  The sun is shining brightly, and its hard to believe that Christmas is coming upon us so fast.  Just yesterday, I booked 3 more craft shows, so you can understand why the challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday here   turned out to be a Christmas card.

 

Technique:  The base card is Cherry Cobbler, matted with Very Vanilla.

I started by stamping the setiment on the top of the card - with Cherry cobbler ink.

Beneath the sentiment, I embossed a 3 1/2 by 3 3/4" of designer paper with the Northern Flurries folder, and than attached banners from the Be of Good cheer designer paper to the left upper end.

A piece of dotted scalloped Cherry cobbler grosgrain ribbon and bow completed this level.

To add some bling to the card, some dazzling diamonds was applied to the embossed snowflakes, and some rhinestones applied to the upper right.
