Tree Trimmings

November 4, 2009 By Connie | 3 Comments

 

I fell in love with Lee Conrey's crimped background, so had to make one for myself.  I was so excited that I taught this at my Technique Class last night!  It was definitely well received! 

You do need a lighter weight cardstock to get the best effect, so Whisper White worked perfectly!  I also have an idea for a Very Vanilla card that I may try out today.

I started with a base of Real Red and added a layer of Soft Suede cardstock.  I did the Crimper Technique with Whisper White, then trimmed it down to fit with the Soft Suede mat.  I felt it needed trimming because the crimping will stretch out the cardstock a little bit.

For the focal piece, I stamped Stampin' Up!'s Tree Trimming stamp in Versamark on Whisper White cardstock, then embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  I layered it on Brushed Gold cardstock.  Finally, I added a Real Red 1/4 Grosgrain bow to the top.

I love all the texture that this background has!  So much fun!

If you are in the Columbus, Ohio area, make sure to sign up for my Punch Class next Wednesday, 11/11 @ 6:30 PM.  I have three FUN punch art characters just in the time for holidays!  You won't want to miss it!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year 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 Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, 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!
