One of my favorite Christmas stamp sets in the Annual Catalog is Flurry of Wishes. I was so happy that is carried over from the 2015-2016 Holiday Catalog into the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog! While I was waiting for my 2016-2017 Holiday Catalog Pre-Order to arrive, I worked on a few Flurry of Wishes Christmas cards.
I tried a few variations of a layout with two different color palettes. Here is what I came up with.
I was trying to keep busy instead of looking out the window every five minutes!
The first group of cards features the traditional reds and greens. The leftmost and the center card below use Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla, and Gold.
The rightmost card uses Garden Green instead of Always Artichoke.
I also tried using gold embossing powder on the Merry Christmas sentiment. I think the Cherry Cobbler Merry Christmas sentiment works better than the gold embossed one.
I embellished the insides of both cards. The one on the left has the Flurry of Wishes sentiment, the medium snowflake image, and Gold Wink of Stella. The one on the right has the medium snowflake and the Merry Christmas sentiment. I love how the sentiment seems to nestle right into the snowflake!
Here I used Island Indigo, Soft Sky, Pool Party, and Silver Foil for a frosty looking color palette.
The layout and the insides are essentially the same as the red and green cards.
To create the banner across the front of the card, I used the Cupcake Cutout Framelits and the Layering Squares Framelits. First I cut the Island Indigo banner and the Whisper White banner. I stamped Merry Christmas on the Whisper White banner and embossed with silver embossing powder. Next I placed the third from the center scalloped square on the Whisper White banner and cut. This makes a little scalloped edged tag similar to the Washi Label Punch.
My Pre-Order arrived this afternoon. I was so excited I almost ripped the box! Stop by tomorrow from 1:00pm to 2:00pm for a free Make and Take along with a preview of the pre-order.
Thanks for stopping by!
