Welcome to my corner of the World

Once again  I am thrilled to be taking part  in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop.  We are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!

You will have either arrived from  post a previous post in the hop or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . We do not have a theme, but each of the talented artisans showcase what they are working on at this time each month. There will be techniques, fancy folds, 3D, new products and ideas – a veritable treasure chest for you to draw on every month.

It should not come as any surprise to learn that I have been focusing on some last minute Christmas cards. Although wanted something easy I still wanted them to be elegant, so a quick fun fold, some heat embossing and some foiled decorative paper hit the nail on the head…….. oh and there is a video to show how I created 4 cards from scratch (including the design) in just 40 minutes!!

• Base Card: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Basic White Thick Card ~ scored @ 2 1/8 from each end
• Layer 1: 2 pieces 5 1/4 x 1 7/8 Joyful Decorative Specialty Paper
• Layer 2: 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 Shaded Spruce or Cherry Cobbler Card
• Ink Color: Shaded Spruce and Versamark with Gold Embossing Powder

I used the Christmas Classics Stamp Set with coordinating Dies, a cute little bow using the gold ribbon from the Gold & Silver 1/8 Trim Combo Pack and finished up with a scattering of Neutrals Self Adhesive Sequins.

Check out the video to see how everything goes together:
