Pretty Paisleys Thank you Trio

The new Pretty Paisleys Embossing Folder in the Holiday Catalog is perfect for simple but elegant cards.  I used it to frame the thank you greeting from One Big Meaning.  I even used the embossing folder to emboss the envelopes -- I just used my bone folder to carefully take the envelope apart so I could emboss just the front.

I think my favorite version is the one I added a touch of color to the raised embossing.  I used Stampin' Write Markers in Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and a touch of Rose Red.  You could just as easily use a Blender Pen.

The exclamation point cried out to me for a Rhinestone dot so I added one to each card.

On one of the cards I cut out the embossed frame and used dimensionals to elevate it a little off the page.  This card is mounted onto Basic Black so I lined it with a Whisper White layer.  I wanted a little something but didn't want it to be a stamped image so I used the line and dot die from the Detailed Santa Thinlet.  It was just the right touch!

Don't forget the weekly specials!  Here is what is offered this week.  New items will be added at midnight each Thursday of the promotion period.  Don't miss a single one.  I love, love, love, the Blossom Builder Punch

Detailed Santa Thinlit Ornament

This idea has been rattling around my brain since I saw this Greetings From Santa Bundle in the Holiday Catalog.

I used my Big Shot (it's getting a real work out these days) to cut the Detailed Santa Thinlit from white printer paper (I find that card stock doesn't like to be rolled) then I cut a circle from that die cut.  I cut another circle the same size from a Window Sheet.  This clear ornament is one I purchased at a big box craft store. For it the circle I needed was about 3 3/8" diameter (I used the one from the retired Circles Collection Framelits) which fit perfectly.

The die cut santa was glued to the window sheet circle with Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive  (green glue).  I let it dry then carefully rolled the pair and inserted them into the ornament.  I added a mixure of Dazzling Diamond Glitter and the new White Mica Flakes -- just a little bit in the bottom.

That's it!  Honestly the hardest part was photographing it and I need to keep trying to get a better one.

Tip:  Stampin' Up! recommends using the Precision Base Plate with this detailed thinlit.  

Thanks for looking!
