Four Seasons

Good Evening!

I spent a few hours at the cabin today and made this Christmas card while I was there.
I wanted to get this posted tonight and in my haste I think the photo suffered. You can't see how pretty it really is by this photo.

These are the items I used to make this card.

Stamps: Easy Events; Four Seasons, Snow Swirled (Inside)

Paper: Whisper White; Cherry Cobbler; Vellum, Chocolate Chip

Ink: Versa mark, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive

Punches: 1" Circle punch, Large Scallop punch, Small oval punch, Martha Stewart Snowflake punch

Accessories: White embossing powder, Navy Ribbon, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Sizzix Snowflake Die #8, Textured Impressions-Striped, Dazzling Details, Heat tool.

To make the textured background on the Cherry Cobbler card stock I ran it through the Big Shot and then simply turned the card the opposite direction and then ran it through again.

I stamped the images with Versamark ink on Vellum and then punched them out with the respective punches. I mounted the vellum on chocolate chip card stock cut in the same shape.

The larger snowflake was made using the big shot die, Snowflake #8, and the smaller one was made with a punch.

Faux Alligator Card

This is another card we are going to be making at the next stamp club. It is so simple and fun to make.

 The Alligator is made using a Sizzix die cut which I then embossed using a texture plate.

I took a piece of  Mellow Moss card stock and covered it in Versa mark ink and then wild wasabi embossing powder. I drew lines in it with a bone folder before heat setting it.
I used the scallop punch to make a few "bites" in the "skin".

I attached googly eyes to the alligator and then attached it to the card front.

*I always add a piece of Whisper White card stock to the inside of cards when they are made out of a darker colored card stock. In this case I took a couple of bites out of the Whisper White, too.

Enjoy!

Elements of Style

This is one of the cards available to make at the cabin. It's also one of the projects we'll be making at our next stamp club. It's done using the triple stamp technique.
