Year Round Christmas

 

I have a group of customers who like to do Christmas cards year round so by the end of the year, they have several all ready made up. This is a card I case'd from Darlene McCallum. Thanks for the inspiration Darlene!

The card was made using Midnight Muse, Soft Sky, Whisper White and Silver glimmer paper. The stamp set, Festive Flurry, is from last year's holiday catalog and is still available to order as are the coordinating framelits. The Northern Flurry embossing folder was used and Dazzling Diamonds was applied. The sentiment is from the Sweet Essentials stamp set.

Christmas in April, Part V

 Here is the final card from the Christmas card class last fall.  I loved being able to make a flip card for Christmas.  I also pulled out the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad which I had purchased when it first came out but I had never used it.  I love it!  I cannot believe it sat for almost a year before I began using it.  This year I used it so much that I had to order the refill because we had used up all of the ink.  You can see a faint snowflake in the center of the sentiment on the inside of the card - this is what was done in the Illuminate ink.

Here is the card closed up so  you see the front of it.

Here's what you will need to duplicate this card:
Stamps:      Festive Flurry, More Merry Messages
Inks:           Island Indigo, Illuminate Glimmer Watermark
Paper:       Pool Party, Whisper White, Winter Frost DSP, Silver Glimmer
Other:       2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch, Festive Flurry framelit, Rhinestones, Silver ribbon
                   Tasteful Trim die, Circle Card Thinlet die

Forever Stampin',
