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.

Paisley Print Christmas Tree


I've showcased the Pumpkin from Paisley Prints (page 11 in the Holiday Mini).
This is the Christmas tree.  This quick card features the Holiday DP in the
main catty and Rhinestones.  The DP was run through the Big Shot
Dotted Embossing Folder.

Gifts of Christmas


The Gifts of Christmas (regular catty) is such a pretty set.
In this sample, Christmas DP and the Old Olive wide ribbon were
used to accent images from the set.

Angelic Joy in Baja


This card features the Angelic Joy set on page 23 of the Holiday Mini.

The colors are Basic Gray, Baja Breeze and Pirouette Pink.  The
Big Shot Elegant Lines embossing folder was used to add texture
to the strip.  I am tempted to use that embossing folder on every card,
I like it so much.

Waffle Paper Clutch


This clutch features the Waffle Paper (page 8) and Silver Tinsel Trim
(page 21) from the Holiday Mini.

The "fastening" is made by punching the new Decorative Label punch out
 of  Silver card stock.  Gold card stock was stamped and punched with a
1 inch circle punch.  Finally, Glimmer Basics Glimmer Grads were
added for a little more "glitz".

Day of Gratitude Embossed


This is the Day of Gratitude set featured in the previous post.
In this project, the stamped elements were embossed on Mustard or Cajun Craze
with gold embossing powder and then cut out.  You get a whole
different, elegant look, when you emboss with this set.

The Always Artichoke was dry embossed with the Big Shot
Elegant Lines embossing folder.  The other colors used for this project
were More Mustard and Cajun Craze.  What a GREAT combo!

Pearls were added to increase the elegance of this card.
