Christmas Duo

I made the following two cards for different swaps on SCS. The first is a simple Snowflake card. I embossed using my Snowflake A2 folder on Vellum and then trimmed the edges of the vellum and white cardstock with Fiskers decorative scissors. I attached the vellum to the white cardstock using Creative Memories "Frosted splits". I totally intended to use this card for my SC148 challenge and forgot about it while making the cards. I got kind of caught up in the design. The blue cardstock is SU Bordering Blue. I stamped with "snowflurries" in "VersaMark" Ink, after I heat embossed with silver embossing powder"Holiday Greetings" from SU Sincere Salutations set. I used a fuzzy cord ribbon (lighter than it appears here) and wrapped it around the white snowflake layer and then added a silver snowflake with a clear gemstone brad, and 3 small hero arts clear gemstones. A very simple card but I like how it turned out.

The second card uses one of my tag stamps form the original SU Tag Punch Box. I stamped with Bashful Blue and then colored just the Real Red marker over joy and stamped it on a separate piece of cs and then trimmed it down and adhered it to the tag, after coloring it with Green Galore, Only Orange, YoYo Yellow and Basic Black SU markers. I used a small piece of Red Cardstock to mat the tag. I tied the red checked gingham ribbon around the D'vine swirl embossed retired SU Light blue cardstock. I used my QuiKuts Snowflake Die in my Cuttlebug and cut on White cardstock. After cutting themout I put through my Xyron "X" sticker maker and then adhered glitter to the snowflakes. They were mounted on the card using dimensionals.

I think they both turned out cute I just love snowflakes and Blue cards, in the winter. I really loved the card posted by Jill in this post on her blog "Inkgenius" , It is so beautiful, Check It Out.
Until Later ...HappyStamping!
