I played around with the Pines & Poinsettias stamp set and came up with this card. It looks like I tried to use as many things from the Holiday Mini as possible. :-) I started with a Early Espresso base. I added some Holly Berry Bouquet DSP and even some circles of DSP under the Earl Espresso quilted ribbon. The very vanilla was stamped using markers directly to the stamp. Then some dazzling details on the berries. I also added some champaigne glitter to the edge for a little added bling. I layered it on some Wild Wasabi with dimensionals, then layered that on with some more dimensionals. I stamped the greeting with versa mark and embossed it with clear embossing powder and cut out. I then adhered it with glue dots and added some pearls that were colored with a sharpie marker. I hope you enjoy!
Are you a traditional Christmas person or a more contemporary Christmas person? Are you the one that loves the latest purple christmas trees or do you lean toward the traditional christmas tree with white or even colored lights? I'm definitely a traditional, far right leaner on the Christmas decor. I love white lights and older, vintage style ornaments. This card speaks of that to me. I took a wild wasabi base and stamped it a few times with the holly image from Pines and Poinsettias. I then sponged it with some Soft Suede to give it an even more vintage feel. I added some Holly Berry Bouquet DSP to the two bottom panels. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the card actually has 3 folds. The roses are a fold, the top is a fold and the stripes are a fold. That means the top sold green part opens separate from the bottom two. For my focal point, I stamped the pine cone image using markers in Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi and Real Red on Very Vanilla. I then cut it out to fit inside of the Chocolate Chip frame. I then added the tag and twine with some bells. I used sticky strip to add the Real Red Satin Ribbon and then mounted my focal point over the end of that using dimensionals. For one final touch, I added some Dazzling Details to the berries. I hope you all have a fabulous Monday and I will hopefully be back soon with more samples for you!
