Snowflakes Wishes - Standard Card and Slimline card

  
It's not the time for Snowflakes in the air just yet, but it is time to make Christmas cards with the new Snowflakes Wishes set.  As a demonstrator, I do monthly swaps with other demos and I received the standard card from a fellow demo, Cooki  Osinski a few months ago.  At the time, I was wanting to create the Slimline cards, so I thought why not try to create her card doing a Slimline and I really like the results.  She used the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and I was wondering how I could use it in a Slimline card since the card would be longer than the embossing folder.  No problem!  All I did was emboss it once and then turn it around to emboss the other side.  The only problem was there was a line in the middle, so the Highland Heather cardstock cut using Stitched Rectangles would cover it up.
She also used the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper to die cut her snowflakes.  How come one of them is Highland Heather?  You can get that effect by using Versamark, Clear Embossing, Highland Heather ink, and the Heat Tool.  I don't know if that was the way she did it but it was the way I did it.  Although, I think she did several more coats than I did.  The sentiment is stamped with the new In-Color Misty Moonlight The Snowflake Splendor DSP also adds a lot to this card and I would have never put these two colors (Highland Heather and Balmy Blue) together, but I really like them, don't you?

Coming Home - Happy Holidays

Time for another Coming Home card I made all from the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper and the Home Together Dies.  Here are my instructions:

1.     The base of the card is Misty Moonlight cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Whisper White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the front of the card.

3.    The third layers were made using the snowbank dies from the Home Together Dies using the Trimming the Town DSP and Whisper White cardstock until it is 3-3/4” x 5” to layer onto the front of the card.

4.    With Paper Snips, trim out the buildings from the Trimming the Town DSP and adhere with Multipurpose glue to the third layers.

5.    Ink up the sentiment “Happy Holidays” from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set with Misty Moonlight ink and stamp on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock.

6.    Punch it out with the Classic Label Punch.  Put Mini Dimensionals on the back and adhere to the front center of the card.

Coming Home - Page 42

Christmas is Coming!  It will be here before you know it.  Time to start making those Christmas cards so that you have plenty and you are not making them at the last minute.  So I decided to get started. This is a somewhat case of the card on Page 42 of the Stampin' Up! Aug-Dec. Mini Catalog using the Coming Home Bundle.  I used a different sentiment and different ribbon.  The sentiment "Merry Christmas" is from the stamp set Perfectly Plaid and the ribbon is the Real Red Braided Linen Trim.
The Designer Series Paper is Trimming the Town Hall.  The Stampin' Blends I used were Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Poppy Parade, and Old Olive.  I also used the Timeless Label Punch.
