Merry Christmas Tree

Happy Holidays one and all! Mindy with you today sharing a card for the upcoming holidays.

I started with a piece of white card stock cut to an A2 size 5.5" X 8.50".  I scored it at 4.25" inches, and placed the new Grand Merry Christmas Script die, from Memory Box, with the card line on the score line. I then ran the white card stock with the die through my Cuttlebug machine, cutting out the phrase. Then the card is folded shut. I then cut a red stock liner and used 1/4" Scor-Tape to tape it inside the card. 

Then using branches of fir and pine from the Foliage die set by Spellbinders, I created a tree shape down the right hand side of the card, alternating fir branches with some pine branches, and even a pine cone or two. This die set has more dies than those pictured on the web site, but it is a very popular set with many great leaves and branches.

I chalked and inked some of the branches and the pine cones, to give them more depth and dimension before gluing them to the card base. I also used the Paper Blossom Tool Kit to emboss and shape the branches and sprigs. 

To complete the card, I cut the Large Bow die from Impression Obsession, and glued it to the top of the tree. Snow or sprinkles could then be added to your card if you wish.

Happy Holidays from all of us here at Classy Cards 'n Such!

Colors of Fall

Hello Classy friends! Diane here with you today with my card from our newest challenge Cozy Plaids. Add warm, fall colored plaids to your project.

Nothing says fall like a squirrel scampering around gathering his winter food! We have lots of squirrels here out in the country where I live, and when I saw this cute Squirrel from Stacey Stamps, I just had to purchase it!

I first stamped the image with Versamark and then heat embossed with Sparkle 'n Sprinkle Brown Fizz Embossing Powder. If you were here to see the card "in real life", you would notice a bit of "Sparkle". And a quick tip is, don't forget to use the Anti Static bag before you stamp your image!

I die cut a few Prima Leaves, one was cut from the beautiful Classy Fall Card Stock Bundle, using the Mandarin Curious Metallic included in the package.

Next is the most exciting new die I think! It is a My Favorite Things Die-Namics Sequins die. Using the Orange Iris Shimmer Sheetz, I cut the most fantastic sequins!!

Beverly carries two new sampler package Shimmer Sheetz both Iris and Gemstone. Just imagine all the colorful sequins you can make with these!!

I did pop up the background paper a bit using Joy! Large Foam Pads.

The Design Team at Classy Cards 'n Such would love to see YOUR entry into our challenge. Don't forget with 7 or more entrants, you have a chance of winning a "fabulous" prize!
