Medallion Wedding Card

My sister-in-law attended a wedding this weekend and asked me to make a card for her.  After searching on the web for an idea as I was pressed for time, I found THIS CARD to CASE.

Hanging Ornament Keepsakes

 I totally cased this from a card I saw on Splitcoaststampers.  Loved it so much I had to copy it.  Love how the ornaments stand out against the white background.  The bow on either end of the line was too fiddly so I just made a bow at one end. 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Ornament Keepsakes, Greetings of the Season
Paper:  Whsiper White, Real Red
Ink:  Real Read, Old Olive, Pool Party
Accessories:  Baker's Twine, Rhinestone, Brad, Dimensionals, Holiday Ornaments Framelit Dies

Have a very merry Christmas.

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.
