Ringing in the Season

Ring Accordion 01

 

I have one more project to sneak in for Karen Burniston’s July Challenge!  This uses the Ring Accordion die and the Evergreen Pivot Card tree.  And to top it off, the card stock is Stampin Up’s Silver Foil and Red Glimmer paper – sparkly!

Ring Accordion 01 open

Here it is all opened up.  I die cut the trees using an adhesive sheet on top of the Whisper White paper – and the embossed images on the trees came through – cool.  The ornament top is part of Ring Accordion die.

Sparkling Deco Christmas Pop (N Cuts)

Lots of sparkle going on over here!  This Christmas card features the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts Base and Deco label dies (both by Karen Burniston)  and the beautiful Modern Medley Designer Series paper. On the front I stamped part of one of the sentiments from Delightful Dozen in Versamark and embossed it in gold.  It’s die cut using the Deco label die and layered on Silver Glimmer paper.  The stars on the bottom are punched using the small star punch and the larger star is from the Star #2 die. 

The Deco Labels and the larger star are popped up (’cause it’s a pop-up card!)

The Deco Label insert and lots of different sparkle inside! 

The top sentiment is the other part of the Delight Dozen sentiment of the front.  It’s stamped in Versamark and embossed in gold.  I die cut it out using Sizzix’s Banner & Boarders designed by Karen.  It is backed on Silver Glimmer paper.

The champagne flutes are from Easy Embellishments.  I stamped them on a 4″ circle of window sheet using a Glue pad and covered them in Gold Glitter.  Then I went around the circle with small stars in Silver and Champagne Glimmer paper.  The 2014 is die cut using the Timeless Type dies and they are popped up on the window sheet.  The window sheet is glued to the Deco Labels behind it just underneath the numbers.

Can you see it? 

The bottom sentiment is from More Many Messages and is again embossed in gold and accented with more stars.  I find it easiest to adhere Glimmer Paper with glue.

Rolling Along

Cased from a card that was shown at Convention, this was so fun to do!

I used 3/4″ wide strips of Snow Festival Designer Series paper (cut at various lengths) and rolled them around a bamboo skewer.  Then I sprayed the entire front with Shimmer (alcohol and shimmer frost ink)spray.  It sparkles! And since I was watching the election results – and it was a long night – I continued rolling –

Here’s a few hints – I used glue to adhere them – but I’d recommend a glue gun unless you’re very patient.   Draw your Christmas tree triangle on your grid paper or a piece of copy paper first.  That will help you determine how long to cut each strip.  Find any and everything sparkly in your stash to decorate your tree. 

Hugs, Fran

Christmas Deer

Another new set – Christmas Deer (128144/128146) that is going to see a lot of ink.  I stamped the deer in Soft Suede and then masked off everything but the antlers, stamped again in Versamark and embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

And added the snowflake ornament.  It’s better IRL!
