  • Feminine version of another card from day 5 (here). I actually love this design because it covers the front of the card pretty quickly. Instead of a plain circle like I used for the masculine card, I used a scalloped circle punch I had. They may be a bit small for the sentiment, but it's ok. It fits! I used a brown pen to make some tiny dashed lines around the scallop edges so the shape is more obvious.

    Background: Simon Says Stamp stripes stencil
    Inks: DI Fired Brick, DI Worn Lipstick, DI Ripe Persimmon, DI Vintage Photo
    Sentiment: "Happy" is from SSS Happy Meowday, "Holidays" is from Lawn Fawn Milo's ABCs. Holly is from Stampendous Christmas Wishes

  • The feminine version of my first card from day 5's online card class holiday series. You can check my masculine version from my previous post.  I love using white on white! It's so pretty! and i'm in love with using the white perfect pearl on white paper. Shimmery goodness! But I wonder if this card is too puffy and embellished to make it through the mail...

    Background: Hero Arts woodgrain stamp with Ranger Perfect Pearls Pigment Powder in Perfect Pearl. 
    Branch: Wendy Vecchi embossing paste coated with pearl embossing powder and Ranger Distress Glitter in Rock Candy
    Snowflakes: inked with versamark then coated multiple times with champagne, pearl, and silver embossing powders.
    Sentiment: Stampendous Christmas Wishes

  • Today's lesson made me so eager to go home to try all of the techniques! I'm so happy with the results!
    In the 2 cards I made tonight, I attempted the masculine version of the cards by Debby and Laura. I'll work on the feminine ones tonight after work.

    Like Debby, I used the Wendy Vecchi embossing paste in white for the branch then coated it with Ranger silver embossing powder. Although now I wonder what happens when I heat up the embossing paste in silver. The texture of the paste is different: silver is smooth and white is sort of fluffy and slightly gritty.
    I'll have to try it! I do love the way the white paste puffed up! I actually did that once before on accident while being impatient and trying to dry the white paste faster with my heat gun.

    I also used the snowflake cut pattern from Birds Cards on my silhouette and coated it in Ranger Silver embossing powder. The rhinestone is from My Mind's Eye.

    The "MERRY" (which I stamped crooked!) is from Lawn Fawn Milo's ABCs set and the "Christmas" is a masked off sentiment stamp from Stampendous set Christmas Wishes.

    I'm so in love with this online card class! It was only $20 and TOTALLY worth it!

  • Inspired by a card made by Shari Carroll from the online holiday class. Once again, worked with what I had. Muted blue winter colors - it's been colder lately ;)
