Another Fancy Card

Here's another fancy card for my Friday (Wrapping Up Christmas) class.  This one has embossing, shimmer, gorgeous ribbon, and beautiful glimmer paper.  It's all silver and white and very, very elegant.

The ornament is embossed with our Pewter EP.  I even embossed the flap of the envelope.   The oval frame that's embossed on the card is done with our Holiday Frame Embossing Folder.  The envelope flap was embossed with our Delicate Design Folders (comes in a set of two!).

The ornament was cut with the Holiday Ornaments framelits.  I'm all ready for my Friday class and can't wait to enjoy more Christmas stamping with friends.  I'll share more of the projects soon, as well as some super cute projects using the Sweets of the Season kit.  I can't wait to show you!

Core'dinations

I love our new Core'dinations Card Stock!  I hope, if you haven't tried it yet, I hope that you'll check it out soon.  Here are some cards that I've made using it.

This one is a quilt card, using Comfort Cafe DSP.  I used the Lacy Brocade embossing folder (with Early Espresso Core'dinations CS) and then lightly sanded over the raised embossed areas.  The text is stamped directly onto our new 7/8" cotton ribbon.  I added an antique brad to the center.  This is one of the projects we made at my last Team Meeting.

I actually used the same embossing folder for this card, with our Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations CS.  After the card was finished, I spritzed it with my Frost White Shimmer Paint/alcohol mixture so it has a really nice sparkle.

For this card, I embossed Gumball Green Core'dinations CS and attached it to a Cherry Cobbler card base.  I used our new snowflake die for a snowflake to top off the medallion.  I used the Holiday Frame embossing folder and then lightly sanded the raised image.

Here are a couple more cards using the Early Espresso Core'dinations CS.  Remember these?  I hope you'll give this new CS a try.  I think there will be endless possibilities for using it.  Have a great day!

Joyous Celebrations

When I saw this card in our Holiday Catalog, I just had to make it.  I really love it.  I made 2 versions that are very similar, with different card bases.  My colors are cherry cobbler, gumball green and whisper white.  You cannot see it in the photo, but it has a spritzing of gorgeous shimmer over it.

 

It's a short post today because I'm babysitting and then off to work in my studio.  More Christmas, Fall and Halloween cards coming up!  Playing with the boys and stamping?  It sounds like a great day to me.

You have a great day, too!
