MERRY MONDAY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE #175

Merry Monday #175 (Frame It!)


http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.ca/

I loved all the designer cards, but could not think of a single thing to make.   I then thought of this wonderful die cut that has a frame around the winter scene and this is what I came up with.  The die cut is called "Winter Wonderland".

Here is my finished Card:

This is my first shot of the picture and I had left a light on in the room and it looks like the sun is trying to shine through.  Doesn't it look amazing!

Inside the card:

Supplies:
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Silver Foil Paper
Embossing Folder:  Snowburst
Die Cuts:  Winter Wonder Land, Merry Christmas, Precious Mittens (Inside)
Stamp Set:  More Merry Messages

This was card was made in 1/2 hour.  After I  had figured out what to make..............that took awhile. (Hee, Hee)
Have a great week, and until next time Happy Carding!

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY WWC38

WatercoolerWWC38 - Buffy's Tic-Tac-Toe Inspiration Challenge



http://watercoolerchallenges.blogspot.ca/

Thanks to our Watercooler Artists and their creations this was a cool challenge.  It took quite a while to figure out which way I would go on the Tic-Tac-Toe samples. 

 Gold, Die-Cut, Heat Embossing  

Closer Look:
I did have to use an embossing folder to frame the Gold die cut, as the card looked too flat.  It made an amazing difference because  the die cuts really popped out.

Inside Look:

 

 

Supplies:

 

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Gold

Ink:  Delightful Dijon, Versa Mark,

Stamp Set:  More Merry Messages

Misc.:  Modern Label Punch, Spellbinder's - Decorative Labels, M.B. Candles,  Snowflakes (Inside Card), Gold Embossing Powder, Filigree Frame E.F.
