Christmas Stack - Winter Skate

Like this one!  I used the Tim Holtz Bigz Ice Skates die to cut the skate from heavy white card stock. I would recommend heavy card stock. I chalked the heel with black and painted the skate blade with silver acrylic paint.  I chalked the lace area and cuff with teal chalk to coordinate with the card color.  I put red laces on the skate and tied a knot and trimmed the ends.  See the next post below for detailed instructions. I spritzed the teal card stock with Maya Mist Iridescent Pearl. I cut a Stampin Up Top Knot die cut from decorative paper then I cut it straight across on the point.  This was glued even with the top of the card.  I color printed the greeting then punched it out with my 2" oval punch.  I then cut a scalloped oval with the Spellbinder Nestabilities #3 in the small set from red card stock.  The greeting was layered onto the scallop oval then this layer was adhered over the top note with 3D foam tape.  The skate was adhered below the top note on the card front with 3D foam tape.

Card Club - Foil Ornament

The ornament was cut with a Sizzix ornament die from foil paper. The die allows the circle and the ornament hanger to be cut separately. The medallion in the center is a Martha Stewart punchie from the same  paper as the ornament. A small snowflake is placed in the center.  It is held to the ornament with a tiny white brad. The background layer is spritzed with Maya Mist - Snow White, allowed to dry then embossed.  A thread is strung through the ornament hanger.  A piece of 3D foam tape is applied behind the hanger which adheres the ornament to the back ground layer. The thread is then taped to the back of the background which is then adhered to the card front.

Left Purple: The ornament from purple moire paper. The circle and hanger are cut from white pearl paper.  The background was embossed with one of the Cuttlebug Winter Wonderland folders.

Right Red Silver: The ornament from red and silver foil paper. The circle and hanger are cut from silver metallic paper.  The background was embossed with the Stampin Up Northern Flurries folder.

Card - Challenge - Red, Green, Kraft

I made this card for a color challenge.  I started with a dark green card stock.  I cut a fence from rust card stock with Cricut cartridge - Paper Dolls Dress Up.  I cut the tree with a Sizzix die.  The trunk from Kraft and leaves from red.  I cut a few leaves on the ground in red by hand. It need something to unify the look so I spritzed the card with Maya Mist - Antique Copper.
