Much to Celebrate!

I am having a lot of fun playing with and creating projects using the Here's to Cheers Stamp Set and Framelit Bundle.  At first glance, Here's to Cheers appears to be suited only to bottles and tags, but I think the stamps can also be ideal for host thank you cards, Christmas cards, and congratulatory cards.

To make the front of this card to look like a Christmas present, I added a center tag embellishment and some ribbon layered over a 4" by 5-1/4" Crumb Cake rectangle. For an extra detail, I embossed the Crumb Cake cardstock with the Knit Cable Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). This embossing folder is too neat. I have been trying so hard not to go overboard and emboss everything with knitted cables.

To create the center embellishment, I partially die cut a scrap of green plaid paper from the Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack using only the bottom of the wine bottle tag die. I trimmed both sides where the ribbon will go to make a more rectangular embellishment.

Then I die cut the filigree rectangle with Basic Black cardstock. This die is an elegant addition that really pulls the entire embellishment together. Because the filigree die is so intricate, I recommend using the Big Shot Die Brush to help release all of the fine pieces from the die. The Big Shot Die Brush makes it so easy and quick!

The center of the embellishment is a 1-7/8" circle cut from the Layering Circles Framelits and stamped with the Celebrate image.

I cut two pieces of Cherry Cobbler taffeta ribbon - one for the vertical part of the present and one for the horizontal part of the present. I attached the vertical piece of Cherry Cobbler ribbon to the Crumb Cake mat before attaching the center embellishment. Then I threaded the second piece of ribbon through the center embellishment and adhered both to the Crumb Cake. Lastly, I adhered it to the card base.

This color palette is warm, wintery, and cosy. I bet this card would look amazing in an autumnal color palette too! What color palette would you pick?

Wishing You Warmth and Cheer

Here is a quick, cozy Christmas card using the soon to be released Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF and the Warmth and Cheer stamp set.

This card is a modified CASE from Wednesday's post. I changed the Whisper White rectangle into a scallop square using the Layered Squares Framelits and rotated the Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF.

The detail of the Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF is amazing! As a longtime knitter, I can say the purl stitches between the cables are truly life-like. This TIEF is quickly becoming my favorite embossing folder. I can't wait to make more projects!

If you have not ordered from me in the last 12 months and would like a copy of the 2016-2017 Holiday Catalog, please contact me today with your request and mailing address.
