Peace on Earth

I led two Christmas stack parties this fall.  One in early September and the other at the end of November.  This is one of the cards we made.  Please excuse the speckles on the card.  Those are not supposed to be there.  The card was accidentally sprayed when cleaning some stamps.  I forgot to take a new photo of the card but decided to post this one anyway as I wanted a record of the card that was made. 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Season of Joy, Four the Holidays (retired)
Paper:  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Retired SU Christmas DSP
Ink:  Early Espresso, Old Olive
Accessories:  Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Corner Rounder, Square Punch (used to punch the "flags" on the DSP strips)

Hope you are ready for Christmas.  I just have a few things to do tomorrow in preparation for hosting some of the family on the 25th.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful Burlap Butterfly

I have been wanting to try other materials in the Big Shot for a while now. Up until this card, I have only tried die cutting card stock. So a little while ago, I went to the fabric store and picked up some felt and burlap. I was very happy with the results of how easily the Big Shot cut through these materials.

There are a number of things I would like to point about this card:

I found that the burlap was very prone to fraying. To keep it from fraying away, I used some clear nail polish along the edges of the back of the butterfly. I let it dry before gluing on the felt butterflies.

The burlap and chocolate butterflies are from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die. The Rose butterfly is from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit die.

The Perfect Polka Dots Folder is used on the Chocolate Chip background. I did not place the entire piece of card stock in the folder, but just put it about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way in the folder.
