Merry Heat Embossing!

I started working on a Christmas quilt years ago...

I'm now at the "must get it quilted" phase and 

I love the red and green combination.  

The Real Red and Gumball Green set on 

Whisper White cardstock make 

the perfect Christmas combo!  

Using the Daydreams Medallions Stamp Set, Versamark

and the white embossing powder 

I created the great floral patterns using heat embossing. 

(Look closely and you will see three layers 

under the "NOEL" sentiment.)

Then using the Floral Frame Framelits Dies 

and the Big Shot, 

I cut each layer and then stacked 

them together on Dimensionals.

The Noel Sentiment is from the 

Greetings of the Season Stamp Set and 

was stamped in Real Red and punched with a circle punch.

I added rhinestone on the curves of the "N" and 

on the first flower layer.

The Whisper White layer was embossed with the 

Argyle Textured ImpressionsEmbossing Folder.

(My apologies - this ribbon was in 

my stash so I can't tell you where it originates)

Enjoy!

More Joy to Share...

I adore the way the Cherry Cobbler and Soft Sky 

come together for this fabulous card.

The card foundation is Soft Sky and then 

a layer of vellum embossed with the 

Winter Frost Textured Impressions Folder 

was added for some great holiday detail. 

Additional Stampin' Up Jewel Rhinestones were used to draw 

attention to the center of the embossed snowflakes. 

I punched a small strip of Soft Sky DSP 

that I created on My Digital Studio 

with the Scallop Trim Border Punch and added 

rhinestones in each scallop.

The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler and
is from the Stampin' Up set Perfect Punches.

I punched it out with the scallop punch and used 

Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine to tie it to the 

Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding wrapped bow.

Stay tuned daily for more Christmas Countdown ideas....

The Stockings are Hung...

Hi y'all!  Today in the 2013 Chirstmas Countdown, 

I'm featuring a cute card I made last year at one of the

Christmas Card Stamp Camps I held.  

It's one of my favorites as it features stockings. 

Stockings in our family bring such a joy each Christmas...each person 

is filled with excitement of giving and receiving as they 

place secret gifts into each other's stockings.

I think the textures created with the 

various embossing folders make the card...and about 

two years ago I really began to utilize the 

glimmer papers in various shades 

to make my designs "pop"!

Here you see the glimmer paper in silver 

at the top, heel and toe of the stocking.

The card foundation is in Cherry Cobbler

and match the seam binding ribbon behind the 

stamped and punched sentiment.  

Share what your favorite Christmas decor is in the 

comments below to be entered into my October Drawing.

Thanks for stopping by my blog this Wednesday 

and stay tuned for more creative ideas from my 

2013 Christmas Countdown.

Enjoy!
