White Christmas Card

I missed a few days of blogging – it's good to be back!  Today I have a Christmas card in shades of white.  Have I mentioned my love for white on white?  I also got to try out the new Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I love them and know you will too! 

While this is mostly Whisper White, I used a Vellum strip punched with the Confetti Stars Punch which adds a little contrast and some texture.  I stamped the snowflake dots from Merriest Wishes  using Versamark and embossed them with Whisper White Embossing Powder and finally die cut it with the largest stitched square framelit from the Stitched Shapes.

The tree is Shimmery White Card Stock and die cut from the Santa's Sleigh Framelits, mounted with Dimensionals.  I put a tiny star at the top of the tree.  The star was punched from the Confetti Stars Punch from Silver Glimmer Paper.  

I stamped the wreath image from Santa's Sleigh and embossed it with Silver.  Die cut it and mounted it onto another circle that was cut from the smallest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  Not sure I love this element, I'm thinking it should have been a greeting. What do you think?  It was also mounted with Dimensionals.

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Santa's Sleigh, Oh Deer!

Here is another peek at a bundle, Santa's Sleigh and the coordinating thinlits, from the Holiday Catalog, available September 1.  

Using the "selective embossing" method I embossed a circle of snowflakes with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  I used the largest circle in the Layering Circles Framelits to make a template so I could pierce the circle with the Paper Piercing Tool.

The trees are stamped with Always Artichoke Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock. One is stamped directly on the card layer, the other two are die cut.  The deer is stamped onto Tip Top Taupe Card Stock with Early Espresso Ink.  I am beginning to think I like Tip Top Taupe more than Crumb Cake and I LOVE Crumb Cake!  Which is your favorite?  I stamped the greeting in Real Red and cut the words apart.  The Red Jingle Bell (available September 1) is tied on with Linen Thread.

The Blender Pen was using to pull a little color onto the branches and I frosted the edges with the Clear Wink of Stella.  I added a layer of Always Artichoke Card Stock between the two Whisper White layers.

Thank you for looking!  Are you getting excited for this catalog?
