I love how vellum makes projects look even more impressive. This simple card was made using Stampin’ Up!’s Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum. For this card, two strips of the silver snowflake vellum were layered on top of each other and bordered by some White Glitter Ribbon. Ignore that the top ribbon is slightly wonky….I learned from this and everyone in club learned a technique to make sure that their ribbon was straight!! (I’ll put up a video about it later this week – promise!)

My favourite thing about autumn is the changing colours, though around here, the trees are starting to get bare – lots of colourful leaves on the ground! I love Stampin’ Up!’s Sheltering Tree stamp set, and here it’s combined with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It uses the same technique that we did on CHCH Morning Live a little while ago – ink the leaves in Hello Honey, and then use a sponge dauber to randomly apply a second colour – in this case, Tangerine Tango. This is a great card that can be used for any occasion.
If you’re looking for card ideas, and holiday cards in particular, I’ve teamed with a friend for my latest online class offering. Holiday Cards are the focus – and each class features a different holiday stamp set. You can purchase an individual class for $10 CAD or get all four for $30. See more information here. You’ll be able to access the class materials instantly! If you prefer the “hands on” type of learning, don’t forget the upcoming Christmas Card Class November 19th, or the Stamp a Stack on November 28th. (more information and registration here) See? No excuses not to have at least a few handmade cards for those special people on your list!
