SSINKCS28: Gold Tree

Today’s card is featured over at Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration and features a fun card sketch challenge today.

I turned the sketch on its side and featured a pretty embossed Christmas tree. You can't tell very well, but the ornaments and the base of the tree is embossed in gold. Very pretty and shiny! And this gives me an excuse to use my pretty Winter Wonderland Vellum stack.

Christmas Tree Tag

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas tag. I decided to layer some vellum on top of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. From there I added a simple stamped and punch tree and a sentiment. As a last touch, I had to decorate my tree with some Gold Glitz Dazzling Details. For my tag attachment, I made some ribbon using washi tape.

I made two tags. The second tag I turned into a card.

A Coffee Christmas

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card, any card, using any current SU products. So of course I made a Christmas card. One of these days I'll pick up a non-holiday set again... Anyways, I went a little embossing happy this week and embossed about 6 different images. Then I started building cards around those images. This is the result of the first image. I love this little coffee cup! So cute! I wanted to break up my piece of cardstock a bit, and so I added a bit of vellum. From there, I finished off the card with the gold sequin trim. It's a very sparkly card in person!

Here's a better shot at the pretty embossed coffee cup!

Winter Wonderland Vellum

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the new Winter Wonderland Vellum featured in the Holiday Catalog.

The vellum is so pretty! I had a hard time actually breaking open the package and cut down the sheets. But I did it! And I made a pretty card to go with it! I kept the card simple with the vellum as the focus. The gold stripes are so pretty!
