This card also uses the Groom Specialty paper. There are two patterns in the Bride, Groom and Bridesmaid papers, the striped paper shown here and the swirly design shown in my Snowflakes A Plenty card. Both designs in the pack are embossed for a classy touch to any card.
This card is topped off with the sparkle sentiment from "Warm Words" and a bit of gold cardstock and Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon.
Happy New Year everyone!
What do you think of my new blog design? Leave me a comment and let me know! I designed my new website banner using My Digital Studio and since I'm a My Digital Studio certified demonstrator I thought this would be a wonderful way to showcase my talents! The blog design took me longer than the banner itself just showing how easy My Digital Studio is to use!
This year I wanted to do something fun and special for the girls, so I made up little gift bags using the Christmas Cocoa specialty paper and wrapped their gifts in them. This uses the Delightful Decorations stamp set and Ornament punch too and all of these items will be unavailable after January 4th, 2010. But, they're so cute that I had to at least share the photos with you! Enjoy!
We first stamped Dasher using Chocolate Chip Craft Ink on Whisper White cardstock. Then, we sprinkled a combination of clear embossing powder mixed with Iridescent Ice and heat embossed. This gave us a little bit of sparkle but really let the color show through.
Then this card is layered up using Old Olive designer paper, the other half of the Mistletoe Ribbon Originals and the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper. This specialty paper is really fun, the piece we used here is a real red base with white flocking in the design. It's really fun! In fact, I think I'm going to have to put in one more order for myself to get a bit more of this to use for my Christmas scrapping!
The "be merry" is from Warm Words, on page 141 of the idea book and catalog. We stamped the greeting in Real Red on Whisper White and punched out with the modern label punch. To get the red backing, we used the Magnetic Movers and Shakers die (p. 201) with Real Red Cardstock and the Big Shot. It's a pretty easy card and it was a real hit with my stampers this year!
I especially love the Mistletoe ribbon originals which is the Old Olive Taffeta ribbon shown here with the white edge. This is also in the Holiday mini so don't wait, the ribbon and stamp set are not available after Monday! And, watch for an upcoming post with a cute Dasher card, it uses the second spool of ribbon in this set!
The wheel shown here is the Sassy Sparkles wheel. I originally tried to paint the wheel with platinum shimmer paint and then roll it but I found that the paint dried too quickly. So, in the end we used the silver encore pad to make this card, but my end result was a pretty silver wheel! Enjoy! 
The greeting is the very versatile "All Holidays" set pictured on page 43 of the Idea Book and Catalog. The 12 stamps in this set will cover the majority of your holidays! The punch is the Jumbo Snowflake punch pictured on page 187 of this year's catalog. To adhere the snowflakes you can either use a tiny bit of snail placed in several places on each snowflake or use the small applicator on the Tombo Adhesive (p. 192). Of course while we did this card for a Christmas card, it would be great for any winter card!
This card was an adaptation of a card originally stamped by Gretchen Barron. Thanks Gretchen for your inspiration!
The Stamp set is Delilghtful Decorations and is punched out with the Ornament punch. Both of these items are in the Holiday mini catalog which ends on Monday, January 4th so if you want to purchase this item be sure to do so by the end of the day Monday!
