Mornin’, y’all! Weekend is almost over, huh?
So – bad news first…I won’t be able to do a FB live tonight – sorry! I don’t get done at work until late and it just won’t work. Sadly, that’s probably true for next Sunday, too – so…it’s very likely going to be the 19th before we can get together again. 🙁
In the meantime, I’m planning to have cards for you most days – and will bring you some sneak peeks of the new catalog! I think you’re going to love it!
For today, I went back to the Dashing Deer stamp set and added a little bit of Corrugated Dynamic TIEF texture and some more of the Joyous Noel Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
This is one of my favorite design constructs, so when I saw the Sunday Stamps challenge sketch – I was in!
I pulled some beautiful Tranquil Tide and Copper-accented paper from the Joyous Noel Specialty DSP and matted it on Merry Merlot for the card front.
Next, I embossed a piece of Tranquil Tide card stock in the new (and one of my fave things!) Corrugated Dynamic TIEF. I started with a panel larger than I wanted and then tore it down to the size I needed.
I put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the embossed panel at the top and bottom and used it to adhere two lengths of new Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8″ Reversible Ribbon with the Copper-y side up! Then I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the card front.
On a rectangle of Whisper White, I added the sentiment from the Dashing Deer stamp set in Versamark Ink, then I sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it with my Heat Tool.
I used the long flower garland image in the Dashing Deer set and stamped it around the outside of the sentiment in Tranquil Tide.
With the flower die in the Dashing Deer Thinlits, I cut four little flowers from Merry Merlot card stock, and adhered them to the sentiment panel with Liquid Glue. In the center of each I placed a Gold Metallic Pearl. Then I adhered the panel to the card front with Liquid Glue and that was it!
On the inside, I simply added the bough image from Dashing Deer in Tranquil Tide on the top and bottom of a Whisper White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Merry Merlot mat and then into my Granite Gray card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the Dashing Deer bough in Tranquil Tide on the front…
…and more of the pretty Joyous Noel Specialty DSP on the envelop flap. Aaaannnddd…one more Tranquil Tide holly bough!
Et Voila! I am so in love with the Corrugated Dynamic TIEF – and am anticipating many a card with that subtle addition of texture! Dashing Deer – doesn’t even need the deer to be beautiful, right? Finally, Tranquil Tide and Copper – a wonderful combination used to perfection in the Joyous Noel Specialty DSP. Hope you like (and are making your lists! 5 Sept is less than a month away!)
