This is one of my favorite Christmas cards I've created. I enjoyed distressing the edges of the paper and using the yummy new ribbon from the Stampin' Up catalog.
My goal with this card was to create a textured card without making it too bulky. I am learning the new perks of having a Cuttlebug so please bear with me if I go a little overboard sometimes.
When I saw this stamp I knew I wanted to use it on a romantic card. It features two types of embossing (regular on the stamp & UTEE on the chipboard square).
Cardstock: Stampin Up Kraft, Kiwi Kiss
Patterned Paper: Doodlebug flocked paper
Stamps: Handle with care
Ink: StazOn
Embellishments: Chipboard square, UTEE, K&Co glitter heart, Marah Johnson sticker
My goal this week is to create super SIMPLE colorful cards. For those that know me understand this is a big stretch, since I tend to fret over each project. I have been known to embellish projects to within an inch of its life. This self imposed project is to take my creativity to a new level. Next week I will move onto a new goal.
This is my attempt at a classier card with the same TRES CHIC stamp. I used StazOn Blazing Red ink, SU Kraft cardstock, Prima Flowers, frosted brads, K&Co (Life's Journey Domed Word Strips), Bazzill yellow cardstock, and 7Gypsies gaffer tape (Zanzibar Black).
I wanted to create a whimsical card.... I used some SU Kraft cardstock, TRES CHIC background stamp, patterned paper (Playing cards by two busy moms), StazOn Timber Brown ink, SU purely pomegranate double-stitched ribbon, the big brad i customized with a creative cafe rubon flower. The patterned paper was crumpled up and inked with a Tim Holtz blending pad and distress ink (tea dye).
