Stampin' Up Dasher - a nice and simple Christmas card


Hi blogging friends,

From Millan.Net



When I saw that the Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple CAS147 Challenge this week was "Twine", I just had to play along - I love twine and it is one of my favourite things to pop on a Christmas card.


My card is very simple as I didn't do any colouring with my pencils.  I stamped my favourite SU stamp "Dasher" with Colorbox Sapphire Silk pigment ink, poured on some Satin Pearl embossing powder and heat-set it with my heat-gun.  I added a tiny red rhinestone to his nose so of course, now Dasher has become Rudolph.

The snowflakes dry embossing was made with a folder from the Cuttlebug Winter Borders set.  I added a Scor-Pal line above and below the embossing to hide the folder marks that I always seem to get.  There is also a Scor-Pal line underneath the twine.

I used my Scalloped Scallops border punch to punch some light teal Bazzill Bling cardstock (I don't actually know the colour name - that's just what I call it!) plus some white cardstock and attached them to the bottom of the card.

I diecut some snowflakes using my Cuttlebug and Snowflake #2 die set, attached some ice blue rhinestones and glued the snowflakes to the card except that I didn't glue the tips of the snowflakes down so I could bend them up and give them a bit of dimension.

Lastly, I wound the twine around the card twice and tied a bow.
