In my last post I mentioned that I made two different styles of Save the Date cards for my friend Kim's cookie exchange party. She's a blingy, "diva"esque kind of gal. I love glitter and bling as much as any other female, but most of my cards don't reflect that. I wanted to create something blingy and easy to mass produce. This is the end result. It only took me roughly 15 minutes from start to finish to complete this card!!! Yes, that's an amazing feat for me, my friends. You do not want to know how long I can spend making just one card.
In the end, this was the card she chose to send out. Have you played with the coordinating Ornament Keepsakes stamp set and Big Shot dies yet? Go on, what are you waiting for? Christmas! (Smile!)
Enjoy what's left of your weekend and thanks for peeking in on me!
Wow! It's been such a long time since I've posted to my blog. I've still been checking out all the wonderfully creative papercrafters out there, but I haven't allowed myself the time to actually create for myself. I apologize for not posting or updating. Thanks for your patience with me.
A couple months ago, my dear friend Kim asked me to design her Save the Date cards for her upcoming "Diva Christmas Cookie Exchange". I was very flattered and extremely nervous about her offer. After much contemplating, I got down to business and created two styles of cards for my dear friend. One is whimsical. Yes, this card. The other card is "diva-esque" with a lot more bling, schmling, diamonds and glitter! (I'll show that one to you later this week.)
I used the Owl Occasions stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog for this little pocket card. I found a tutorial for pocket cards on Splitcoaststampers. The inside card pulls out to display all the invitation information. Oh, and have you tried the new Stampin' Up! Core'dinations cardstock. It's great stuff I'm telling you! I've used the Early Espresso paired with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I love the woodgrain look especially when you run the sanding block over it! It gives the effect of a real tree!
I'm going to forego the supplies list this evening. If you have any questions regarding the supplies used, please contact me.
Thanks for peeking in this evening! I'll try to not to be a stranger around here.
