I am using the beautiful Joyful Christmas stamp set (#131805) from the holiday catalogue for today's card. Yes, I am starting on Christmas cards - it's never too early.
Card stock used is Gumball Green (#127543), Real Red (#106578) and Whisper White (#106549). Embossing folders used are Woodgrain (#127821) for the Gumball Green and Perfect Polka Dots (#117335) for the Real Red card. The red card was cut with one of the Framelits from the Label Collection (#125598) before being embossed.
The flower was stamped with Crushed curry ink (#131173) and heat embossed with clear embossing powder (#109130). I hand cut this and attached it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details (#125585) were used for the flower centre.
" Merry" is cut using the Expressions Thinlits Dies (#132171) Also from the holiday catalogue. Tip: use waxed paper between these thinlits dies and card to make it easier to remove from die, as well as using a paper piercing tool to remove the card from the die.
"Christmas" is from the Joyful Christmas set. I just inked Christmas using a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker (#100052), as I didn't want the rest if the image for this card, stamped onto Whisper White card then cut and sponged the edges.
Thought for the day-
“ An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity. ”
— Winston Churchill
Have a great day
Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
