A new Stampin' Up! catalogue and lovely new products must mean that Christmas isn't far behind!!!!
I added in a few Christmas cards to my card class this month to get everyone started............
This card uses a 4" x 4" base of Island Indigo, teamed with the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler!
The background is Serene Snowflakes stamped onto Whisper White, and then I ran the card through the Big Shot with the Perfect polka Dots Embossing Folder to give an even more snowy effect.
A length of the new Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon was added down the middle of the card (love this ribbon, it's super soft and touchable!)
The snowman from Button Buddies was inked up with markers so I could get the body in Island Indigo and the hat in Cherry Cobbler. This was stamped onto Whisper White and then punched out with the Decorative Label Punch. I also used this punch with a piece of Cherry Cobbler, which was then chopped in half down the middle and used to edge the white piece.This was added to the centre of the card with Dimensionals.
A really simple design that could be done over and over for a batch of Christmas cards for friends, neighbours and co-workers. I haven't actually added a button for the snowman on this card, but it would look great and give an added dimension to the card.
Coming up later in the week are the final two cards from class which use the versatile Pennant Parade stamp set and co-ordinating Pennant Builder Punch.
The Details:
Card / Paper - Island Indigo / Whisper White / Cherry Cobbler
