Christmas Sack

 

The Holiday Mini contains some delightful mini Lunch Sacks.  

They are a quick way to product a small gift.

The sack was run through the Big Shot embossing folder to add texture.

Perfect Punches was used to create the sentiment.

The Designer Series Paper is Candy Cane, from the Holiday Mini.

The wide 5/8 inch Red Grosgrain provides the closure.

Joyful Season Letterpress

This is a CASE of a card I saw on-line and I apologize that I cannot find the source.

It is the new Joyful Season Letterpress plate from the SU Holiday Mini.

This new product requires use of craft ink and leaves a  deep,

debossed impression, like an old fashioned printing press.

I used Chocolate Chip craft ink and ran Naturals White c/s

through my Big Shot.

The ornament punch was used to provide a backdrop to the Northern Frost

Decorative Strip snowflake die.

The Top Note piece was embossed with the Square Lattice folder

on page 214.  Lastly, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding was wrapped

around the layers.  The seam binding is VERY easy to tie!

The colors for this card are Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Cherry Cobbler.

Berry Christmas

My next series of posts will feature the Berry Christmas Set from the Holiday Mini.  This is a very simple, elegant set that makes Christmas Card production easy.

The colors for this card are Soft Suede, Certainly Celery and Real Red.   The 1/2 inch circle punch was used to punch out the berries, which were attached to the wreath.   A 2 inch piece of Real Red Polka-Dot grosgrain ribbon was attched to the card and then stapled.  Used in this way, a little ribbon goes a LONG way.  Also, you don't have to tie a bow!!  The addition of just a touch of red ribbon adds texture and coordinates with the stamped images.

Other Options:  If you want to add sparkle to this card, try the following technique:

1) Ink up your stamp. 

2) Use a sponge dauber to apply some Champagne Mist Shimmer paint to the inked stamp.

3)  Huff on the stamp to re-moisten.

4) Stamp your image.   You will notice a nice little shimmer!

5)  Clean the stamp immediately and thoroughly.

Happy Saturday,

Jackie
