Joy

We have a new sketch for you to try out at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. As always, it's an awesome one!!! 

And here's my take on the sketch. I happened to have the Joyous Noel specialty paper on my desk and figured I might as well use some of it!! It's gorgeous paper with the metallic touches...so gorgeous that it is currently on backorder!!! The snowflake is die cut out of Copper foil paper using the soon to be released Snowfall Thinlits. These dies, 2 stamp sets, velvet paper, and snowflake trinkets will be available for a limited time starting November 1st. Don't miss out and order today at MY SHOP starting on Thursday.

Hello Friend

I wanted to share my card using the "collar fold" or "drapery fold" technique. My DSP measures 5 1/4 x 4 -- come down 2 5/8" from long side and cut in 2", then fold the corner pieces back. This works best when using double sided patterned paper. I did put dimensionals behind my folded back corners for that added pop.  I colored the main image stamp with markers, using my Stamparatus to ensure perfect placement.

My image and sentiment come from the limited edition stamp set Happiness Surrounds. This stamp set along with a 2nd set plus a set of dies, velvet paper and snowflake trinkets will be available the month of November.
