Season of Joy...again



Another Season of joy card, sorry but I just love this set, at least it's nearly Christmas so I will have to stop making Christmas cards.

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Season of Joy, So Swirly Wheel
  • Ink: Versamark
  • Card/Paper: Ruby Red, Old Olive and Very Vanilla
  • Accessories: Very Vanilla 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Gold Embossing Powder, Corner Rounder Punch

Method: First I ran the So Swirly Wheel across the bottom of the ruby red card, using Versamark ink in the cartridge. I then placed the ribbon along top of the pattern to separate the two areas. Next I embossing the greetings stamp with gold embossing powder. I rounded the corners of the stamped panel and then placed on a slightly larger panel of old olive.

Poinsettia Card



I haven't posted for ages as have been really busy with my baby son. Hopefully now I'll have a bit more time to post some of the cards and things which I have been making over the last few weeks.

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Season of Joy
  • Ink: Versamark
  • Card/Paper: Ruby Red, Old Olive and Very Vanilla
  • Accessories: Earth Element Brads, Theatre Ribbon Originals, Scallop Edge Punch, Clear Embossing Powder, SNAIL Adhesive

Method: Firstly I stamped the old olive card base with the small poinsettia in versamark to create a watermark effect. I then cut a panel of very vanilla and added a ruby red scalloped edge. The large poinsettia was then stamped on ruby red cardstock with versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder, I then cut them out. The satin ribbon from the ribbon originals was placed across the middle of the very vanilla panel. The flowers were attached to the panel using the brads and then the panel was attached to the card using SNAIL.
