Happy Wednesday, stampers!
I'm just popping by today to show you a card I created recently for a swap I participated in. The group of swappers are ALL from the SU! Rising Star ranks over the years and I must say, these ladies are fabulous stampers. No wonder they earned a Rising Star position in their first year as demonstrators!
The next layer is Brushed Gold cardstock cut at 3 1/4" square and I've layered it with a piece of Very Vanilla cut at 3" square. The Very Vanilla layer is stamped with two more of the images from Serene Snowflakes, this time using Gold Encore ink. You can heat emboss this ink, but I chose not too, allowing the shine to be more of a matte gloss. It does take longer to dry completely though. As you can see, I've added some Rich Razzleberry ink to the edges of this layer with my Stampin' Sponge to give it a little 'pop' from the gold cardstock. Once these two layers were adhered together with SNAIL adhesive, I wrapped them with Gold Elastic Cord for an accent.
(My Swap cards didn't have the cording, only because I didn't have enough for EVERYone, so I left it off. It was pretty without it though!)
The entire Brushed Gold layer was mounted to the card base with more Stampin' Dimensionals and there you have it! A simple but elegant Christmas card! Just add a piece of 4" square Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside and you have great cards to send to everyone on your list!
If you are attending my Christmas in September card class on the 26th, you'll be making 2 of these babies along with 8 other cards! Space is filling up, so RSVP soon if you want to be stamping with us!
Have a fabulous day everyone and I'll leave you with my new favorite quote from fellow Rising Star Dawn Byers -
"Everything looks better with Glitter!"
