CARD – Modern Christmas Trees

Posted in Cards, Christmas, Winter by

I’ve beenĀ back to making Christmas cards again, and yesterday I had an idea that was very graphic and modern. I love the way it turned out. Unfortunately these pictures do not do it justice as the subtle details that really bring it to life were difficult to photograph. šŸ˜¦

I started by stamping the splotches from Gorgeous Grunge onto a Whisper White card front with a few non-traditional Christmas colors: Garden Green, Watermelon Wonder and Bermuda Bay. Then I heat embossed the trees in white embossing powder onto Whisper White cardstock and punched them out. As I moved the pieces around, I realized I would need something to ground them, so I added a strip of Everyday Chic Washi across the middle before adhering them with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

At this point I knew I was headed in the right the direction, but felt like it was still lacking something. I cut the “Merry” sentiment from Basic Black, and stacked it with two more pieces of thick Whisper White underneath for some stability and dimension. Finally, a Silver glimmer star to top the middle tree! Enjoy!

CARD – Embossed Balloon Birthday

Posted in Birthday, Cards by

Guess what I received on Wednesday?! Yup, UPS brought me brand new sneak peek products!!! As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I get the opportunity to purchase new product before it is available to the general public. I’ve already seen (and ordered from)Ā the new Fall Occassions Catalog … and I’ve gotta tell ya, it was hard to decide what to get! I’ll be working on new samples to show you over the weekend, and will hopefully have some fun stuff to share in Monday’s post!

Today’s card was a fun little project using the balloon framelits. I wanted to try out a fun new technique I’d seen recently, so I die cut my balloon from a piece of the “Cherry on Top” DSP stack, and covered the whole thing in Versamark ink. Then I heat set the entire surface in clear embossing powder. It’s very hard to see in this picture, but the balloon turned out so shiny!
