Happy New Year

Merry Christmas

Rustic Cabin

While browsing Pinterest a while back I saw a really cute easel card that was designed to look like a rustic cabin.  There was a link to the designer of the card but unfortunately it was no longer an active website.  I did find the new blog but unfortunately there were no details.  You can see the original HERE

I decided I was going to make the card for Judy and have had it ready for a few weeks now but couldn't post it until I gave it to her.

Here is the front of the card

and a view from the side

This is definitely not a card to pop in the mail.

Gold and White Cards - Final

This card is the last one in Andrea Walford's series of Gold and White "glammed up" cards.  You can see Andrea's card and view her video HERE.

I don't have the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack that Andrea used so I used a piece of the Gold Fancy Foil Vellum I had on hand.  Although I am happy with my card I prefer the vellum Andrea used with it's more subtle background.  If I were to make this card again I would just use a strip of the striped vellum as opposed to the 4" x 5 1/4" piece I used on this card.

Gold and White Cards - 4

The fourth card in the series used the Winterland Wonderland Designer Washi Tape.  The gold Washi Tape I had on hand worked fairly well on my card.  The gold foil doily makes a great mat for the snowflake that was cut out using the Circles Collection Framelits.

The third card in Andrea Walford's series of "glammed up" Holiday Cards used the Winter Wonderland Designer Washi tape in the Holiday Catalogue which I don't have.  I remembered that I still had some retired gold washi tape from a few years ago (can't remember the name) so I pulled that out and was very happy with the result.  The only stamping on this card is "Christmas" from the Jolly Greetings stamp set.  The word merry was cut out from the coordinating Christmas Greetings thinlits.

Recently Andrea Walford at Sunny Stampin'  offered a bonus online class for those who had subscribed to her SUO Christmas Card Class - 2015.  All four cards in the series were gold and white.  Andrea had posted a video on 9 Ways to add Glam to your Holiday Cards HERE and the cards in the class were all based on those techniques.  She also posted a card and video for a fifth card.  You can it HERE.

I don't have the Washi Tape or Vellum that Andrea used but I did have some substitutes in my stash of goodies so I used them and am very happy with my cards.

This is the first card I made - Andrea had used a strip of vellum from the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack.  I didn't have that but I did have the Gold Fancy Foil Vellum from the annual Catalogue so I used that.

Inky Divas Challenge - Week of November 30

This week's challenge was to create a card based on this sketch:

Just before I had seen the challenge I had seen THIS card posted by Tami White.  I decided that her Rudolph the Red Nosed Penguin would be the focal point of my entry for the challenge.

Although not identical to the sketch it is pretty close.  The brick wall panel was also something I had seen on Tami's blog.  I swiped the raised side of the Brick Wall embossing folder with Early Espresso ink and then ran it through the big shot onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock.
