The Karen Burniston Designer Challenge for this month is Christmas in July.  Here’s a snowy white Christmas card touched with a hint of silver combining one of Karen’s newest dies -Outdoor Edges-and one of Stampin Up’s newest photopolymer sets – Christmas Bliss.

To make this card, I embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White using the Large Polka Dot embossing folder. Stamp the greeting in Versamark on another piece of Whisper White and emboss with silver embossing powder.  Die cut the top with the tree from the Outdoor Edges die and then die cut a scrap of Silver Foil card stock with the same die.  Layer the two pieces together so just a hint of silver shows.  Tie a piece of the beautiful Silver ribbon around this piece and adhere to the Large Polka Dot piece with Dimensionals.  Attach to a 4 1/4 x 11 front.  On the inside I layered a piece of Whisper White onto a piece a of Silver Foil, heat emboss the sentiment from Christmas Bliss and adhere to the inside.
