Embellished Ornaments

This is a lovely card that is crisp and bold with its traditional Christmas colors.  I used the Embellished Ornaments stamp set and the matching Delicate Ornament Thinlits Dies with Whisper White Thick Cardstock as the base.  This cardstock is so fabulous when you want a simple white card base!  It holds up very nicely and the ink does not show through the other side--not even this bold Real Red.  The finish on this paper produces a beautifully stamped image as well.  A few dabs of glue from the Fine Tip Glue Pen and some Silver Glitter make the ornament sparkle.  A Silver Foil top and Silver Cording Trim top it off.  Using a Blender Pen, I lightly colored in the leaves that were lined up using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig.  The berries are Red Glimmer Paper pieces that I made with the 1/8" Hole Punch and glued on with a tiny dot from the Fine Tip Glue Pen.  I popped the ornament up with Dimensionals.

Traditional and bold!  What do you think?

Watercolor Wings

This is a simple 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" thank you card made with the lovely new stamp set, Watercolor Wings, and the Fluttering Embossing Folder.  This new embossing folder measures 6" x 6", making it perfect for larger square cards (my favorite shape)!  The sentiment comes from One Big Meaning, a stamp set filled with terrific thank you sentiments in various sizes and styles.  Definitely a "must have" set in your stamp collection!

The base is made out of the new Whisper White 8 1/2" x 11" Thick Cardstock.  This cardstock is 100 lb. weight, making it perfect for card bases.  It has the same great quality as the original Whisper White 80 lb. cardstock and takes ink beautifully!  Your Hand Stamped by image on the back of your card won't show through with this cardstock either!  The embossed butterfly layer is made from the regular Whisper White 80 lb. cardstock.

With this square card you can make a custom envelope with your Envelope Punch Board or send it in one of Stampin' Up!s Whisper White Medium Envelopes.  It does fit nicely in the regular envelope even though it is a square.

Leave me a comment.  I would love to know what you think of my simple little thank you!
