Hi Stamping Friends!

I can't wait to share two beautiful cards that Too Cool team member Peggy Tassler shared at a recent team event!  They are so pretty and layered and detailed!  You can tell she took lots of time to create them.  Photos do not do them justice.  Let's take a look…you'll see what I mean!

Gift Certificates Available Anytime—Need a last-minute gift for a stamping friend?  I offer Too Cool Stamping Gift Certificates in any denomination, good for use on Stampin' Up! products and my Too Cool Stamping classes!  I'll even send it with a hand-made gift card holder!  Contact me today!

  Peggy copper Christmas 1

#1 Peggy's Peace & Joy Copper Christmas Card

This is the card that I received from Peggy Tassler and it is gorgeously shiny in person!  I love it so much!  It's a lovely layered collage design with lots of intricate die-cuts.
 
Background Basics—Peggy started with a Soft Suede card base that's layered with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Copper Foil.  She die-cut her accent shapes from that Copper Foil sheet before she adhered it.  Then, she Copper embossed the 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White card stock with the Gorgeous Grunge flecked images.

Lovely Layers—Next, Peggy layered lots of beautiful die-cut shapes in either Whisper White or Copper Foil.  I see pinecones, foliage and bow die-cuts from the Pretty Pines Thinlits, and a swirl from Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  A beautiful collage of shiny goodness!
 
Sweet Sentiment—Peggy stamped a phrase from the retired Good Greetings stamp set in Versamark on a 1/2" strip of Whisper White and embossed that with Copper, as well! 

Complete Supplies List—"Clear" means a rubber stamp on a clear block. "Photopolymer" is see-thru.

#2 Peggy's Winter Pearls Embellished Ornament Card

Peggy also created this beautiful card with lots of elegant details!

Background Basics—This time Peggy used a Paper Piercing Tool to add a dotted detailed border around the edges of a 4" x 5-1/4" layer of Silver Foil.  It's adhered to a Soft Sky card base. 

Pretty Pines—I love how she did the pine boughs!  She die-cut the Pretty Pines shapes from a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White card stock, then layered some Mint Macaron card stock behind it so the soft green would show through.  The die-cut pines were then adhered over the top!  Such a cool, textured look!

Elegant Ornament—Peggy die cut a Whisper White intricate ornament and coordinating Soft Sky solid ornament using the Delicate Ornaments Thinlits.  They are adhered with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen and popped up with Dimensionals.  I love all of the glamorous pearls she added!  Those pretty accents remind me of pinned-jewels ornaments my mom made for our tree when I was a kid! 

Awesome Accents—She topped the ornament with a bow created with some beautiful new Metallic Ribbon that will be available in the upcoming Sale-a-Bration catalog!  It's so soft and shiny!  She also added a few random pearls on the background.

Sweet Sentiment—Peggy finished this card with a Silver embossed Star of Light sentiment.  It's on a Whisper White Bunch of Banners Framelit shapes that was stamped with the Birthday Banners stamp set in Soft Sky.
