Reason for the Season

THANK YOU!

First a quick thank you to all who participated in my Adhesive Sale! It was a huge success and I so appreciate all of you who purchased from me! All orders have been placed and most have been shipping out within 1-2 days from Stampin’ Up! Your orders will come direct to you! Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

I don’t think I shared one of the cards I did for the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip Achievers for the Holiday Catalog using Reason for the Season! I embossed the Poinsettia with Gold Embossing Powder. And as I’ve said before, I love the color combination of Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake…the gold bling is just a bonus!

Here are the details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cherry Cobbler, folded in half.
On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock.
Along the left side is a 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Winter Wonderland Designer Paper.
Across it is a 1-1/2 x 4 strip of Gold Metallic Paper with a 3/4 strip of Cherry Cobbler on top of it.
Merry Christmas from Reason for the Season was stamped with Cherry Cobbler above the horizontal layers.
The poinsettia from Reason for the Season was stamped with Versamark and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder, then hand-cut out. It is added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Gold Sequins were scattered on the front for a little bling!

This is a very easy card to mass-produce for your Christmas cards this year and it will mail flat without any extra postage! I wish you could see how much the Gold Metallic Paper and the Gold Embossing make it shine!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
