Winter Wishes

This is the card I made for my swap this month.  I used the stamp set Warm Wishes which will soon retire at the end of the month.  The base of my card is Very Vanilla and cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 5-1/2".  The next layer is Chocolate Chip cut at 4" x 5-1/4".  The next layer is Soft Suede cut at 3-3/4" x 5" and I inserted it in the Woodgrain TIEF and ran it through the Big Shot.  I used the Corrugated Paper by cutting it at 3-3/4" x 5" and 1-1/2" wide and adding a Basic Metal Button with the Thick Very Vanilla Baker's Twine attached.  I stamped the sled in Chocolate Chip ink on 2" x 4-1/4" Very Vanilla cardstock and then layered it on 2-1/4" x 4-1/2" Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added a banner of "Warm Wishes" on Crumb Cake cardstock and  attached it all with Dimensionals.

Wetlands

 

 

 

 

 

This is a card I did for a masculine swap this month using the Wetlands stamp set.  The base of the card is Early Espresso and the next layer is Crumb Cake which was used in the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.  I stamped the good on Very Vanilla cardstock with Early Espresso ink and then masked him to stamp the tall grass behind him with Always Artichoke ink.  I also colored the goose with the Aqua Painter and Early Espresso ink and layered them together over a small strip of Early Espresso cardstock also used the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.  I stamped "Thinking of You" on Very Vanilla cardstock using Early Espresso ink and punched it out with the Oval Punch.  Then I used the Scallop Oval Punch on Early Espresso cardstock and layered the them together using Dimensionals to pop them up.
