Winter is Here

In the midst of single digit cold...I have the space heater on in my basement craft area and have been spending a little downtime relaxing. I worked on a few cards to get them off my table (as you can see in my non-CTMH Cards & Crafts Garden blog next door). 

I also put together this beauty, using the layers on the Classy Doily stamp.
It takes a bit of planning and my weeks leading up to Christmas were rather busy...I will just have to make Christmas items in July this year :). At any rate, I had the layers made (since August...my bad) and it just needed to be put together.

I silver-embossed the Classy Doily on Champagne cardstock.
Then I embossed it again in black on Frosted paper and trimmed around the star-shaped layer. The inside star was embossed with glittery embossing powder on a Tim Holtz marbleized paper that matched. 

The silver-embossed sentiment is from Scandinavian Wishes (October SOTM), and I thought Joy was appropriate for a Thank You card, as in a gift bringing me joy. Then it's a matter of sticking it all together & stamping the inside with a Thank You sentiment. 

The ribbon is from my Dollar Store ribbon stash. That was quite a score last year! They had sheer ribbons in every color and I stocked up!  I hope I can find great deals like that this year! Thanks for looking today!

Peaceful Village

This card was cased from Pinterest. The design combines the church from the Christmas Village set, with Classy Doily stamped on Frosted paper, layered with gold cardstock. 

The sentiment is from the October SOTM - Scandinavian Wishes. 



I used Versamark ink and Gold embossing powder for a shimmery, raised effect. Heat embossing is one of my favorite techniques. 

Of course, I have to add ribbon and bling of some sort to finish the card.

I loved the simplicity of this card.

Thank you for looking!
