These lovely cards are my swaps for this year’s OnStage in Toronto, in a couple of weeks. This video shows how simple stamping can be so effective. I’m pretty excited to be going with my team. I hope you like them. This card is also part of my group classes this month.
Thank you for watching.

It’s never too early to start preparing your Christmas cards. I recently got the new Scripty 3D embossing folder, and while it’s not “Christmassy”, it fit the bill perfectly.
I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla using the new embossing folder, then scraped the Versamark ink pad roughly here and there, over the raised words – sprinkled the Copper embossing powder lightly over the card stock and heat embossed, to create this unique matte for my card.
I also heat embossed, in copper, the larger of the deer in the Dashing Deer stamp set, and layered over the copper foil sheets. I used the 1/4″ copper trim, instead of ribbon, to complete the metallic look.
I used Crumb Cake ink for the sentiment on the inside of the card.
Very Vanilla – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4, 5 1/4 x 4 (2), 2 1/4 x 3 1/2
Copper Foil – 2 1/2 x 3 3/4

I love the simplicity of this card. Just a couple of layers and some clear embossing, absolutely make it shine (no pun intended) lol.
I ran a matte of Crumb Cake through the “Subtle” embossing folder, for some texture, and created a soft background of Soft Seafoam ink on Soft Seafoam paper. A backdrop of a pearlized doily and a stitched circle of Pear Pizzaz complete the background. I stamped the vase, tone on tone with Balmy Blue ink on Balmy Blue paper, then gave it a shine with clear embossing powder, as well as the orchid and leaves. I did all the other stamping with Crumb Cake ink. The vase and leaves are punched with the vase builder punch and the orchid and shelf are fussy cut.

This cute card layout was designed by Rich Griffith, husband to the Glitter Queen, Dawn Griffith. You can see her tutorial on YouTube, https://youtu.be/R4yi0mBzRdE, here.
Basic Black – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Score 4 1/4, Plus 3/4″ x 4″ for the banner and a 4 x 4″ square for the black oval matte
Whisper White – 4 x 4″ square for Stamp
Granny apple green – 5 1/4 x 4
Mango Melody – 3 x 3 3/4, 3 3/4 x 1 3/4, Plus 3/4″ x 4″
Coastal Cabana – 2 7/8 x 3 5/8, 1 3/8 x 3 5/8, Plus 3/4″ x 4″
Using your trimmer, line up the left edge of the Granny Apple Green (4″ side) to the 3 1/4″ mark, and using the cutting blade, make a cut from the 1 1/2 inch mark to the 3 1/2″ mark. Alternatively, you can use a ruler and a craft knife to cut a 2″ slit at the 3 1/4″ mark. This is where the little banners slide in.
I stamped the design with Memento Black ink, on Whisper white, and cut it out with the second largest plain oval, from the Layering Ovals dies. I used the Stampin’ Write markers in Mango Melody, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple green, then went around the designs with my Smokey Slate Stampin Write Marker. You can use the Stampin Blend if you don’t have the Neutral set of Stampin Write markers. Wink of Stella on the flowers and leaves, finished it off quite nicely. I cut out the black with the largest scalloped oval of the Layering Ovals
On the banners, I used “Thank You” and “You are simply the best” from the Varied Vases stamp set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.
