Happy Saturday, everyone!
I'm loving the All is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper. What a perfect name for this beautiful paper which comes in the soft hues of Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzazz, Smoky Slate, Soft Sky and Whisper White. If you close your eyes, you can just imagine snow capped trees on a crisp winter morning when everything is quiet and peaceful!
I combined this beautiful paper and color combination with the stamp sets Bright and Beautiful (the sentiment) and Festival of Trees. The trees and sentiment are stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder (don't forget to use your Embosing Buddy!).
And I created this beautiful star border with one of my favorite new punches from the Holiday Catalog -- the Confetti Star Punch. Oh my .... this punch is amazing. It makes a beautiful border (lined on this card with Silver Foiled Card Stock) but also creates tones of tiny star confetti. Put those scraps in a jar and just think of all the opportunities you can use them for in the future. How fun (alright, a little messy as well ... but fun, none the less).
Other things to note on this card:
- The trees are punched out with the new Tree Punch
- The ribbon is Lost Lagoon 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon from the Holiday Catalog
- I used the Confetti Stars Punch to punch another border on the inside of the card
I think that will do it for today. I hope you have a great weekend and find some time to be creative! Please stop by again for more ideas and inspiration!
