Holiday Online Card Workshop Day 4

Hi,
The online card class today was about finding ways to use the stamps you have in different ways.  I made a card similar to what Shari Carroll made today.  I used mostly Lawn Fawn products on this card.  The silver embossed snowflakes along the curved lines is a Simon Says Stamp border die. I curved the border die on my stamp press to be able to stamp along the edge.

I cut the curved lines with the Simon Says Stamp A2 die.  I absolutely love this die.  The curves are edged with paper  by cutting the curve and them moving it slightly and cutting again to get the edge. 



I added the small silver tree and I put some colored crystals on it so the tree would stand out.  I like the way this card turned out.

I also made another card because it seems I am unable to stop once I start.  I only stop because I have to cook dinner! 

The wreath is made with the little fir branch (or whatever it is) in the Peace Joy Love Lawn Fawn stamp. I am pretty sure it isn't meant to be used to make a wreath, so that is where I used the stamp in a different way.  :)  I stamped in two shades of green and embellished with some red pearls. The Merry is part of a die from Simon Says Stamp that I embossed in silver.  The papers are Lawn Fawn.  I just added a small bow from bakers twine.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

  2. Great cards! Glad to hear you like the curved die. I've been thinking about it but wasn't sure I'd really use it. I love the Merry cut then embossed. I did my snowflake like that.
