Holiday Lounge

Here’s the card I finally settled on to send out to family. Luckily we have a small family because the coloring was time-consuming! At first glance I didn’t like the Holiday Lounge Designer Series Paper but after playing around with it, it started growing on me. The colors are bold and the design pretty whimsical, and that’s makes it perfect for these cute elves from Stampin’ Up’s Holiday Lineup set.

Here’s wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!

Peace & Joy

I was inspired by this card and since I hadn’t played with the dove die yet, which is part of the Holiday Movers & Shapers die set in the mini catalog, I had to get it out.

First I used the Petals A Plenty embossing folder and the “void” technique where you place a balsa wood frame behind the embossing folder. (see technique here)

We’ll be doing this technique (but not this card) at my December Technique Book classes.
