Snowflake (FS82, CCC08-August)

This is for the Christmas Card Challenge as well as the Featured Stamper Challenge. I used to get my Christmas cards done right on or before the 1st of the month. In fact, I won prizes a couple of times for being first! Here I am on the last day of the month submitting my card for the monthly challenge. If it weren't for the Featured Stamper Challenge, I wouldn't have gotten it done at all! The lovely wedding card by NiKiE that I CASEd may be found here. I changed the theme from wedding to winter or Christmas, I changed the color from aqua to Baha Breeze, I left off the vellum layer, I changed the ribbon to a silver metalic ribbon, and I changed the embossing folder from the Textile EF to the new Snow Dots EF. I went to NiKiE's blog to see her tutorial on the ribbon treatment. I added Stickles (or Glitter Glue) to the dots on the snowflake. This was an easy card to make!

• Stamps: Snow Swirled
• Paper: Baha Breeze, Whisper White
• Ink: Baha Breeze
• Accessories: CB Snow Dots EF, Sizzix Big Shot Machine, Silver Metallic Ribbon, 1/8" Punch, Silver Glitter Glue, Dimensionals

July Christmas Card (CCC08-July)

I'm so busy with my next Stamp Camp and making convention swaps that I almost forgot to do my July Christmas cards for the Christmas Card Challenge. I only made 10 of these and they were very quick to make. Just mat a piece of Wintergreen designer paper on white; wrap Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon around that and add the knot; stamp the image from "So Many Scallops" (Sale-A-Bration 2008) with Sage Shadow on white card stock; punch out the image with the Scalloped Circle Punch, and then assemble the card using Sage Shadow base card and add a large rhinestone in the center of the snowflake. That's it!

• Stamps: So Many Scallops
• Papers: Sage Shadow, GP White, Wintergreen DSP
• Ink: Sage Shadow
• Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, WW Taffeta Ribbon, Large Rhinestone, Quick Dry Adhesive, Pop-up Glue Dot
