Texture




I  love embossing and layering...so there are several textures in this card.
I started with a brown cardstock. I embossed a tan paper to look like tree bark. I then cut several figured papers in various lengths and layered then on the tan. I cut a strip of cream and Layed it on the top and embellished it with a small button and put the sentiment in

I used a candle diecut, layered on black cardstock.  I also used a cross cut diecut with a light pink glittery paper underneath. The sentiment is very hard to see in the picture, but it is also a diecut that says Peace.

I heat embossed with crystal powder on black paper, layered on the red paper.rounded all the corners and added red gems. It is very pretty in person.

Night time


This was a new die cut that I got at the end of the season Last year and so I’ve had a lot of fun playing around with it this year. It’s definitely for a square card, which I don’t make a lot of but this is a perfect cut for that. And I used some shiny glittery paper that I had and placed it underneath so that it looked kind of like a Let sky at night. I Embossed peace on earth in the center using black ink and crystal powder, but when it got done it kind of all blended in together so it’s very very hard to see in this picture it shows up better in real time. I added a few gemstones in the center of the snowflakes above. I’ve made a couple variations of this card using the same black paper and shiny paper underneath, I have not decided yet which is my favorite.

Silver snowbox


This is a stamp  I’ve had in my stash forever!!  It’s always great to dig out this time of the year. For this I decided to decorate a silver box. I heat embossed in black with a crystal powder. It does not show up great in this photo. I heat embossed it. I used colored pencils to add the blue. I cut it square and since it is a smaller stamp I layered on several layers of blue. I used a silver ribbon on the box first, then a thinner dark blue skinny ribbon added the gems on a strip. I popped the image up with foam take to compensate a bit foe the ribbons underneath.
