Hi Stampers!
I
apologize for my delay in posting the additional pages for the Bible Memory
Verse Album- this week has just gotten completely away from me :-) I will be posting the remaining pages over the
next few days- promise!
In the
meantime, I have been organizing (or trying to) my craft storage area and
decided to create a few cards using some retired stamp sets that were begging
for some “love” :-)
This Clean and Simple (CAS) card
was created using the FMS153 Freshly Made Sketches Challenge along with the Fab Friday 50 Challenge to use Gold and White (plus it is another one of my CCC14 Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge designs ) :-) .
I decided to heat emboss the images and used a really old embossing pad
(before SU! carried Versamark™ ) and I think that it is a bit
dry – see what happens when you organize- you find all sorts of things you forgot you had :-)
Again, if
you have not had a chance to check out both sites yet, I would encourage you to
do so- great job by all!!
To create
this card:
Using the
Embossing Buddy®, de-static a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamp the
tree image as well as the sentiment using Versamark™ ink. Apply Stampin’ Emboss® Gold Embossing Powder
and heat with the Heat Tool.
Trim a
panel of Brushed Gold cardstock and mount onto a Whisper White card base.
Fussy-cut
around the tree image and mount onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Trim the
sentiment panel and adhere to a Brushed Gold cardstock layer. Add the 5/8” Gold Satin Ribbon double bow and
mount onto the card front.
Add a few
Pearls to finish off the card- quick, clean and simple!!
Stamp
Sets: Snow Swirled, More Merry Messages (both retired)
Ink: Versamark™ or other clear pigment ink
Paper/Cardstock:

Accessories: Embossing Buddy®, Stampin’ Emboss® Gold Embossing Powder,

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by! I will be posting a few more cards in addition
to the rest of the Bible Verse Memory Album shortly- hope you have a chance to
visit again soon!

So, so pretty! I just love the gold and that elegant bow. Glad to see you this week at FMS!
Beautiful! And so elegant with that gorgeous bow~!
What a beautiful, elegant Christmas card! That gorgeous ribbon is swoon-worthy. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
Perfect Christmas card! And that gold bow is the icing for sure! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
This is such a beautiful traditional card. The gold embossing on the tree and the sophisticated bow make this card really stand out in the crowd. TFS.
I always know it's your card, Julie, when I see a gorgeous bow! Your card is simply elegant. Love it!
Thanks so much for being a frequent stamper at Fab Friday!
