Stampin Up, 10 Days of Christmas for 2014


I love the chalkboard technique! It sure made this a fun card and so easy.   Just use black CS and emboss using white embossing powder. I sponged just a tiny bit of white from my white craft pad on it for that chalkboard look.

I cut a second Deco label the same size as the red, out of silver glimmer paper, cut across it bringing the top and bottom out a bit for framing.  Just gave it that pretty extra touch.

Hope this helps with your Christmas cards.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts challenge #223


Ok, so with colors of Tangelo Twist, Basic Black and Very Vanilla, what kind of card would you make? LOL. Yup, I could have made a pretty and bright flowery card or? But hey, it's that time of year, and I do have lots of grandsons I can send to.

But I have a little secret, I didn't use Very Vanilla. I do have the paper, but I wanted to use this piece from the Back to Black DSP pack.  The Typeset DSP would have worked great too, but I don't have that one, might have worked even better!
I cut the black strip using my Rotary add on to my trimmer. It's super easy to switch out the arms and the blades as well.  The blades are in little cartridges, so you can't get cut. I used the small scallop blade on this, very quick to do.

I wanted to use the Banner Framelits, but they were too long to get the width I needed, so I did it by hand.  After cutting the sides to fit, I simple cut up the center from the bottom, then cut in from each side. You can adjust the amount of angle you want this way.

I sure hope you enjoyed it. Now go, have fun!
