Day 10 B


I used heat embossing throughout this card. I added ribbon to add some color. I only had a a tree with "things" on it I didn't want showing, so I heat embossed one side of the green paper. Then I turned the paper over and stamped the tree. When I cut it out, I could turn the tree back over and expose the heat embossed side. I then added gems and a star at the top for a more festive look.
On the black mat I heat embossed the sentiment and some snowflakes.

Day 10 A


I followed the sample as closely as I could. I embossed the bkgd. Then I heat embossed the sentiment and the dots on the tag.
I liked the idea of making the template for the tag and how to get both sides even (mine were NEVER even before this). I inked around the card and cornered just the top right. I added sparkle through an ornament cut out and added color with the multi colored ribbon and the bird. I added the tag with 3D dots.

Day 9 B

I later added a framed mirror over the fireplace.










I had so much fun making this card!

I picked out some Christmas paper which had a subdued print for the "wallpaper". Then I stamped my wood grain bkgd stamp onto cream paper with brown ink for the floor.

I found a fireplace on Google and printed it twice so I could 3D the socks and bow. I 3D the rocking horse and train as well, along with the gold snowflake at the top of the glittery tree.

Day 9 A

Here is my idea of the gift card I saw on today's video. I love this style of card! I hadn't seen this one before. What fun!
I don't have those very small circle punches, so I used my gift border punch on both the card front bottom and the strip over the sentiment.

Day 8 B


I fell in love with this digital image. She reminds me of "The Little Match Girl".
I don't have copics so I colored her with pencils, added faux stitches, and matted her. I added two different papers to the base card. I put red ribbon between the two different papers. I then added the sentiment with VersaMark ink and embossing powder.

Day 8 A

I made this card in both white and gold and am still not sure which one I like better.

I used two different colors of distress ink for the bkgd then, in one I used white embossing powder and the other I used gold embossing powder, after I stamped the image with VersaMark ink.
I matted the gold on gold and the white on white. Next I used white ribbon on one and gold thread on the other. ThenI mounted both on blue, which I had colored the border with the darker distress ink. Lastly I stamped the greeting with VersaMark ink and added the matching embossing powder.

Which do you like better/

Day 7 C


Sorry, I took the picture of the card with my flash so it's a little "washed out" looking.

I used my scoring board to frame my picture and made a slit in the top to thread my ribbon through. I then added the sentiment.
