Card #1 - I used Cranberry cardstock and I embossed it by using the Snowflake/Candy stripe die folder. I glued that onto our brand new Pebble cardstock. I love the Pebble cardstock. Especially for the holidays, I think it goes wonderful with Cranberry and Navy. I then cut a piece of white felt out using the snowman die from A Muse Studios. I colored his hat with a black copic marker, tied a piece of cherry & white twine around his neck and added 2 Cranberry pearl stickers. I stamped the image Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the stamp set "Holiday Greetings Inside & Out". This stamp set is so versatile!!
Card #2 - I again used Pebble cardstock as the base of the card and then I ran my Navy cardstock through the Big Shot (we carry the pink & black Big Shot for only $99.95 on page 103 in the 2011 A Muse Studio catalog) embossing the snowflake/candy stripe die folder. To get the white snowflakes to pop out, I used a sanding block and just went over the snowflakes. I love A Muse cardstock, its color on one side and white on another and if you sand over the color part, it comes through white and I just love that. I then stamped a Christmas postmark on the blue cardstock from the new stamp set called "Vintage Christmas Postcards". I stamped that in navy A Muse Studio ink. I cut a snowman out of the Twas the Night Before Christmas cardstock and cut a very thin piece of red felt to make a scarf and tied it around his neck. Added black pearl stickers and voila!! Isn't he the CUTEST??????
All of the above products can be found in the latest and greatest A Muse Holiday Catalog. You can see my website for more holiday goodies. There is so much to look at!!!
