Swapping!

So my blog hopping buddies and I swap cards as well. Here is the card that I sent out. We usually send 4" x 5 1/4" fronts, without even thinking I made full cards :).

• My card base is Real Red CS.
• The front is Whisper White CS that was ran through the Big Shot with the Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder but first I inked up the folder with Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Ink by directly pouncing onto the inside of the folder, it made a subtle shimmer/glimmer between the flowers.
• I stamped the Heart of Christmas stamp with Versamark on to Real Red CS and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I then cut it out with the Window Frame Framelit, I popped it up on the card frount with Dimensionals.
• I added two of the largest and two medium Rhinestone to make it sparkle.

I be showing the swaps I receive so that you ca enjoy them too!

Heart of Christmas

I had to try the Shaving Cream Technique with Christmas colors, this is the last card I made with this technique :).

• The card base is Real Red, the front side of the card was ran through the Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder.
• I did the Shaving Cream Technique on Whisper White CS using Real Red and Gumball Green Re-inkers. I cut it out with a Window Frames Collection Framelit. (I lopped off the bottom curve)
• Using Versamark I heat embossed the stamp Heart of Christmas in Gumball Green on Vellum CS, it was cut out the size down from my background.
• I colored Rhinestones with a red sharpie, one was centered in a Faceted Button and added at the top and three were placed under the phrase.
• The base of the image was wrapped with a Gumball Green Ribbon and then it was added to the card base.

I hope you enjoyed viewing the last few blog entries, have you tried this technique yet?
