Here is another Christmas card made with some of the new products in the catalogue (and a couple of old ones). First of all I embossed the frame onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock using the oval from the Textured Frames Embossing set and added an oval on which I had used the Mother of Pearl Technique, using Frost White Shimmer Paint and Crumb Cake, punched with the large Oval punch. I had already gold embossed the sentiment onto the oval before punching it out. A background was stamped, with a stamp from Serene Snowflakes, in Crumb Cake. This was then matted onto a wider strip of Mocha Morning DSP and a bow, made with Soft Suede Taffeta ribbon, tied around before layering onto a card blank made from Soft Suede cardstock.

Another Gift Card/Money Holder

Here is another gift card/money holder that we made at our monthly class last week, this time using Night of Navy and Serene Snowflakes stamp set. A length of A4 card is scored, folded, glued and punched with the Word Window punch to give the central pocket which holds the gift. The front is decorated with the large snowflake and the background is another of the stamps, which is stamped off to give a lighter shade (can you spot the one which I forgot to do before stamping?). The bottom section is a piece of DSP from the colour family stack and stamped down one side, finished off with a piece of retired ribbon (Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon is still available though). The inside of the card has a Top Note die cut in Whisper White to add a greeting.

I put my order in from the brand new catalogue yesterday and it was much bigger than it should have been (gasp!) so over the next few weeks I am hoping to show you many more samples using both the carried over products and the brand new ones, so do keep popping back - and if you have the time to leave a comment (good or bad) then please do as I love reading them all.
