My Card

Keeping with the tree theme I used Gemund Woodland 110# Cardstock 

for my cardbase.  Next dry embossed my card front with SU Woodgrain EB Folder.

using SU Wild Wasabi CS.

I actually used the debossed side so my trees and sentiment would lay flatter.

I attached the woodgrain CS to the cardbase with fun foam.

Then  die cut the CUTplorations PeaceLoveJoy Phrase sentiment out of Strathmore 

Mixed Media paper and attached with SU Fine Tip Glue Pen.

The trees were die cut from SU Whisper White Thick CS with Impression Obsession 

Die084-V Fir Trees and then I used the Encrusted Jewels Technique

to cover them with Wild Wasabi and White SU EB powder and glitter.

You can find all the Deets for the Encrusted Jewels technique Here on my June post.

I attached the trees with SU Mini Dimensionals and Done!

Quick CAS Christmas Card, since I had my Die Cuts in my stash:-)

You still have until the 24th to play along in this fun challenge.

I am so happy to have another card for my Christmas 2019 stash. Hugs...

CAS Christmas Card Challenge:Blue & Silver

My New Years Resolution...to start my 2019 Christmas Cards in January!

I love the CAS Christmas Card Challenge for inspiration

and amazing CAS Christmas designs by the very talented DT and GD.

Christine is hosting this month and chose Blue & Silver for her theme.

Here is my card

The most difficult part of my card..photographing the dry embossed silver foil!

Out of at least 20 photos I got One with the true colors and not too much glare.

But that is all I needed,  right?!?

I die cut the SU Silver Foil paper with Penny Black Antique Frame Die.

Next dry EB the snowflakes with Sizzix EB folder.

I have never tried that before and it worked great.

I used CUTplorations Warm Winter Wishes Phrase for a die cut sentiment.

I die cut the phrase twice with Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

Then die cut a 3rd time and painted with reconstituted Lindy Magicals

 Tweedle Dee Denim.

Attached all layers with SU Fine Tip Glue Pen and weighted down with large

acrylic block until dry.

Popped up Silver foil background with Fun Foam and attached to

Gemund Woodland CS for added texture.

Attached Warm Winter Wishes to foil with Fine Tip Glue Pen 

and weighted down with block and Done!

Thank you Christine for a fun Christmas Challenge.  Card #1 for 2019:-)

You have until the 24th to play along.

CAS Mix Up November Embossing Folder Challenge

 It is time for our

CAS Mix Up November EB Folder Card Challenge!

Be sure and check out the inspiring and filled with textures cards

by our talented DT and Creative Guest Designer Cornelia (Stempel Spass).

My card using Embossing Folder Stamping with Distress Inks, Stamping, and Die Cutting.

I first spent time looking at the videos provided on the CAS Mix Up EB Folder home

page.  Then I decided on the EB Folder Stamping after watch the Video by Audrey at 

Splitcoaststampers.

I used Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw and Ripe Persimmon and 

used my sponge daubers to daub on the inks randomly on the 

SU Dynamic Textured Layered Leaves folder.

Ink is on the Top Debossed side of folder (side of Sizzix and Stampin Up name)

After sponging ink on folder,  I liberally spritzed with water.

Then placed Strathmore Mixed Media paper in folder.  Closed and ran through

Big Shot.  Carefully removed paper and blotted with paper towel.

Then all the Die Cutting began. I used the same mixed media paper, 

so the whites would match.

Embossed the card front with the same folder.

Die cut the window with Die-namics Rectangle Peek-a-boo Rectangle Window Die.

Placed Distress Ink EB folder behind window so the leaves would line up.

Cut image so smaller and taped to back of window.

Then I decided to add a narrow die cut frame for a white on white effect.

I cut 2 Memory Box Stitched Rectangles and taped together on the back,  

then popped up with dimensional tape.

I added a small stamped PB Happy Sentiment and Done!

I liked the textured soft look of my card. Hope you like it too.

You have until the 24th to play along at CAS Mix Up.  Hugs..
