Hello there...popping in with two very clean and simple cards. The first up is a Christmas card. Yes, I know Christmas in April is crazy, but I saw the colors of the
Play Date Cafe challenge this week and immediately thought of Christmas. I love this candy cane paper but it is a fairly large print so I decided to keep the card extra simple. On the sentiment strip, I stamped the polka dots from Practicing Creativity to add the blue and a little bit of dimension.
Ingredients: My Mind's Eye Holly Jolly Paper; Stampin' Up Pink Pirouette; The Twinery Twine; Hero Arts Stamps; Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler Ink
Next up is a quick wedding card for the current
PaperCrafts Color Inspiration. I stamped the leaves in gold on vellum and then using clear embossing powder to make them stand out a bit. I stitched the vellum on to the shimmery white card stock and then adhered it to the card base... the result...an elegant wedding card.
Ingredients: Stampin' Up Pink Pirouette; Shimmery White Cardstock and Vellum; PTI Turning a New Leaf and Verve Stamps; Kaiser Kraft Gems
