2013 Dare To Get Dirty- Card #2

Hi Stampers!

Here is the second card created for one of the Splitcoaststampers Dare To Get Dirty Challenge  :-)   Are you a Fan Club Member ofSplitcoaststampers yet?  If so, come join in on the fun and if not, it is not too late to join (did I mention in addition to the forum discussions and fun creating the cards,  that the Member Companies will have prizes??))  

To create this card:

Using the Embossing Buddy®, de-static a piece of Island Indigo cardstock and stamp the ornament image using Versamark™ ink.  Apply Stampin’ Emboss® Silver Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool.   

Cut the ornament out using the Big Shot™ with the corresponding Holiday Ornaments Framelit™. 

Emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Big Shot™ with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder inserting only part of the paper into the embossing folder.  Stamp the sentiment along the bottom of the cardstock using Basic Gray Classic Ink.

Adhere the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper (DSP) to a piece of Island Indigo, add the embossed Whisper White cardstock.  Add a piece of Basic Gray Satin Ribon along with a piece of White Satin Ribbon to cover the seam.

Adhere the ornament using the Stampin’ Dimensionsals® and add the Silver Cord along with the Large Rhinestone.   Add the additional Rhinestones to finish off the card.

Midnight Silver- Two Challenges in One!

Hi Stampers!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend-I know I enjoyed the extra time off from my accounting job :-) !!  I spent most of yesterday trying to catch up on one of the designs for my Christmas cards (will post this card tomorrow) but today, decided to create a fancy fold card for this week’s Hand StampedSentiments HSSTC145 Challenge along with the colors from this week’s DynamicDuos#30 Challenge (if you have not visited their sites yet, the samples at both are gorgeous)!

This card is a Clean and Simple (CAS) Gatefold Card (see the Splitcoaststampers’ Tutorial here- of course, I used my Simply Scored™ Tool).

Create the base for the Gate Fold card using Whisper White cardstock- use a scoring tool or bone folder.

Front view partially open 

With the Big Shot™ and the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, emboss a piece of Silver Metallic cardstock.  Adhere the embossed panels to the two front sides of the “gate” on the card base.

Stamp the sentiment and ornament using Midnight Muse Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Cut the ornament using the Big Shot™ with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits™ Die and create a basic panel with the sentiment (mounted onto Midnight Muse cardstock).  

Adhere the ornament with Stampin’ Dimensionals onto the panel and mount the panel onto the left hand “gate” fold only. 

Another front view showing ornament & sentiment

Attach the 5/8” Whisper White Organza Ribbon bow and Rhinestones to finish off the outside of the card.  I  decorated the inside with a few stamps and layers - remember to leave room for personalizing :-)
