I made this card for a challenge from the GinaK release party last week – NO LAYERS! Sounds easy doesn’t it? Not necessarily! Easy for some, quite the challenge for others!
I used the GinaK set Comfort and Peace.
I really liked the way this design turned out – and it was fast and easy. I did do a little cutting to make the rectangle template for sponging to create my "faux" layer.
First, I used SU! Embossing Buddy, Black Embossing Powder and Heat Tool with Versamark ink. I could have just used black ink too – but I wanted the shine of the embossing powder to add texture andinterest. Then I used my rectangle template, and oval punch – attached with a little temporary adhesive – and sponged on SU! Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Soft Suede. VOILA – Done!

First Christmas Card Sample .!
2009
I realize that some demonstrators start in Summer coming up with Christmas designs – but I just can’t seem to do it! lol Even October is early for me – because I’ve got Fall on the brain. However, the procrastinator in me appears to have gone on holiday for a couple of days, and I am planning out personal Christmas cards for my family and my folks. I DO have to get the supplies ordered now if I want them to be done before New Year’s Day!
This design is for my parents. My mom loves poinsettias, and we both share a love for Nativity scenes as well. So when I saw the SU Holiday Mini with the NEW Textured Impressions Folder "Petals-a-Plenty", I knew I would be using it for my parents cards this year.
Then I saw a beautiful card by fellow demo Patty Bennett – but there was something different about it – there were no dry embossed flowers in the center of her card! I visited her site and learned how to do this – I had the inspiration for this card now!
There are actually two ways you can achieve this look – 1.) by directly cutting an oval (or whatever shape you desire) out of your Embossing Folder (and at $7.95 each, this is definitely a feasible idea!) OR 2.) you buy a wood mat for a frame with your desired shape from the craft store (I got this one for 99 cents!), and use it as a layer in your Big Shot sandwich when dry embossing the card stock. Way Cool! I used Bravo Burgundy for the poinsettia dry embossed layer.
I used a Nestabilities Classic Oval for the Very Vanilla mat – heat embossed the Holy Triptych image in Gold. Then finished off the card by touching up the center trios of the flowers with the Zig Gold Painty pen for a little extra glitz. (I got mine from SU, but we don’t carry them anymore.)
Simple and beautiful – with two of my mom’s favorite things!
