Gifts of Christmas

Nothing like waiting until the last moment to get my 4th post in for the week!  It would be bad to slip up in the first week working on becoming a better blogger.  This is one of the cards I am thinking we will make at the next Christmas card Stamp a Stack.  What do you think? 

 

We made a similar card at the last class but if you look closely there is a twist to this card.  See it?    There is no embossing where the stamped image is.   

Stamps:  Gifts of Christmas

Paper:  Whisper White, Brushed  gold, & Baroque Burgundy

Ink:  Encore Gold

Big Shot:  Finial Press embossing folder

Extras:  White tafetta ribbon, Gold embossing powder w/Dazzling Diamonds glitter (my own mix), Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

  

Friend Good

What would we do without friends?  Yesterday Gail G a fellow SU demonstrator came by and she brought me this "good" treat.

It is Frankie's face wrapped around a chocolate bar.  Here's what she used to make him.

Stamps:  Smarty Pants pg 143 (why don't I have this one?)

Paper:  Lavender Lace, Old Olive, Black, Brushed SIlver for his bolts, and Glossy White.

Ink: Basic Black for shading around the edges, Black marker

Punches:  1" circle punch for his eyelids, nose, & whites of his eyes.  3/4" circle punch for the pupils, and for the bolts at his neck.

So cute, right?  Thanks Gail!

Gifts of Christmas

Here is one more card from the Christmas Stamp a Stack. 

Stamps:  SU Gifts of Christmas
Paper: Brushed Gold, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla
Ink:  Encore Gold
Big Shot: Finial Press embossing folder
Extras:  Champagne MIst Shimmer paint, Gold embossing powder, Crystal Effects, Rich Razzleberry re-inker

I wish you could see the shimmer on the Very Vanilla cardstock.  I mixed some hairspray and Champagne Mist shimmer paint and sprayed it on the Very Vanilla cardstock.  It creates a beautiful and shimmery effect. I also mixed some Crystal Effects with the Rich Razzleberry reinker for the berries.  If you are interested in any of these products please contact me or go to my online store.
