Can you believe that the last Thursday of October is already coming up this week? That means it's time for my "Last Thursdays" monthly card class on October 25, at 6:30pm in my Too Cool Stamping Studio. We do four cards for $10, or the class is FREE with an order placed that night. Contact me today to reserve your space!
Today I'm highlighting another card we'll be creating at the event.
CASEd from Melissa Davies at RubberFUNatics.
Not only is this a fun card to make, it's also features items from this month's Stampin' Up! Promotion—the Christmas Gift Pack Promotion! When you purchase the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle and Candlelight Christmas Designer Series Paper, you'll receive a FREE Festive Paper-Piercing Pack! Hurry, offer good thru October 31 only!
I started with a card base of Lucky Limeade and used coordinating colors from the beautiful Candlelight Christmas Specialty Paper. The 4-1/4" x 3" Very Vanilla piece is embossed with the Lacy Brocade Impressions Folder, then decorated with mini-banners from the Candlelight paper.
Each mini-banner strip measures approximately 1-1/2" x 1/2". TIP: Just use your scraps, it doesn't matter if they are the same width. Each banner is fish-tailed with a 1-1/4" Square Punch. I staggered the lengths as I adhered them to the back of the Very Vanilla piece. The large Real Red banner measures 1-1/4" x 5".
The sentiment is from Greetings of the Season, stamped in Lucky Limeade on Very Vanilla, and die-cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits.
The Ornament Keepsakes ornament is stamped in Real Red on Very Vanilla and die-cut with the matching Holiday Ornament Framelits. I added a Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine bow with Multipurpose Glue.
I enjoyed the basic layout of this card, so my second version only has some slight variations. I stamped a flourish image from Creative Elements in Lucky Limeade ink on the card base. Then I tried the Fancy Fan Texture Impressions Folder for a new texture.
I switched the positioning and ink colors for the ornament and sentiment, along with the color of the Baker's Twine bow, and also added a few Rhinestone Jewels. Looks great either way!
