White Christmas!

White Christmas?? 
Wait - I am in Florida, There is no such thing as a white Christmas here. Unless I create one myself. And that is what I did. In card form that is.

Using the new White Christmas stamp set from the 2014 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. This set has to be one of my favorite sets from the holiday catalog.

 
 

The 13 piece photopolymer set 135767 is a great deal at 15.95. 

I used the snowman on this card, but the others are just as cute. Create your own Winter Wonderland scene. 

Add some texture to the card with the new star embossing folder. 

The Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing folder 135817 for 7.95. 

I love using the texture folders to add depth to the cards. 

This card will be featured in a Christmas Class that I am teaching this week. If you are local and want to come out and create this little beauty just let me know. You will create 10 cards with envelopes and be set to send them out to family and friends come December. Check the calendar on the side for details of the class.

Love is in the AIR

Love is in the air. 

My friend's daughter is getting married in a few weeks and we had a bridal shower for her. So I had to make her a card right. Well, I hate to say it but this girl did not have any wedding sets. WOW right. Thank goodness for MDS (My Digital Software). I was able to go to my store online and check out the digital sets and I found the perfect set. 

The best thing about MDS is that the sets do not retire. I like that idea. Using MDS you can choose any color you want your image to be- just like stamping with ink and rubber. And as an added bonus you can change the size of your image. I like that idea as I can change it to fit what ever project I am working on. 

On this card I used Love & Laughter set. This was a set from a couple years ago which I liked but for some reason I never did buy. The wedding colors are teal and coral. So, I used Calypso Coral as the base and Taken with teal for the color of the dress. I printed the dress and the saying off on white card stock and cut it out and used dimensionals to make it pop on the card layer. I embossed the top layer with Pretty Print embossing folder. I added Dazzling Details to the dress to give it some sparkle. 

I can not wait to share her special day.
