A Child Is Born

This is a gorgeous Christmas card! It was actually time consuming to make, so it really isn't one that could be mass produced and handed out...there was a lot of colouring involved! The inside greeting says, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..." I made a little mistake on the very bottom right side. Oops! It took me too long to redo though, so it will have to do!!

HOW TO:
Paper: Creamy Caramel, Always Artichoke, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
Ink: Basic Black, and about every other colour I own...I did lots of blending of different inks to get the colours I wanted.
Stamp Set: A Child Is Born
Embellishments: Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon
Tools: Paper Cutter, blender pens

Country Morning

Stampin Up carries a new product in the Holiday Mini Catalog, shimmer paint. It's great stuff! I am just beginning to figure out all the neat things you can do with it. On this card, I took a travel sized spray bottle, filled with rubbing alcohol, and put in just a few drops of shimmer paint. Shake, and spray one coat over your paper. It turns any regular paper into a wonderfully shimmery paper. I love it!! The shimmer really doesn't show well in the picture, but in real life, it's really really pretty, yet subtle. And so easy to do!

HOW TO:
Paper: Rich Razzelberry, Pale Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Stampin Pastels, Purely Pomegranate
Stamp Set: Country Morning
Embellishments: Champagne Mist sparkle mixture, adhesive diamond (yellow)
Tools: Blender pen, paper piercing tool & mat, paper cutter

Band-aid card

A cute get well soon card! This is a 3x3 little card, with a fun band aid and cute little puffy, sparkly heart. I punched the heart, and covered it in crystal effects, then coated it in glitter, and then another layer of crystal effects, making it raised and puffy. So adorable, I will be making this one again!!
