Sparkling Tree

It is still summer time but I love thinking of the sparkling snow in the winter.  I am more of a winter person than the hot, sweaty summer.  In general I like GOOD weather but snow is just so pretty.  Today’s card is another Tina design that I just had to make.  It features the Carols of Christmas bundle (includes the Card Front Builder Thinlits) and Dazzling Diamonds cardstock — so pretty and sparkly.

Copper Christmas???

Is Copper a Christmas color?  Check out today’s card — it was a favorite at class the other night.  It features the Carols of Christmas stamp set and coordinating Card Front Builder Thinlits.  I’ve been “into” heat embossing lately and the Copper paper and Copper embossing powder were the perfect go to for this card.

This card looks more details than it really is — the “hardest” part of the card is stamping the wondereful snowflake background with Sahara Sand ink, but don’t you think it pops.  Go ahead and make one and see how fun it is.

Thick Very Vanilla – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ — score at 4 1/4″
Copper Foil Sheet – 4″ x 5 1/4″

Copper Foil Sheet – 2 1/2″ x 11 — cut out two double and two single trees — attach double trees with Fast Fuse adhesive, attach single trees with Mini Dimensionals.
That’s it — you are done.  See easy peasy, right!!!

Shades of Blue

I LOVE this card.  I cased it from my sister, Tina.  I love everything about it — the soft subtle changes in the shades of blue, the silver accents and especially the Island Indigo Ombre Ribbon.  The Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builder Thinlits make it a breeze to make.  The Deck the Halls sentiment and fun ornaments in shades of blue and silver make this card perfect.
