Merry Christmas

Made at SU class

Christmas

Just about the same as yesterday's cards. I swapped the stamped image for Stampin' Up Dasher and kept the rest the same.

Dasher

Number three of three cards we made at SU class.
Again using Dasher and also the shimmer paint. I don't know if you can make it out on the photo but we stamped a row of trees on the card blank in brown ink and then also stamped the same trees but this time in blue ink on the white panel and then lined the two up.

Dasher

I love this card.
Made at SU class. We used the same stamps as the previous card (Dasher and Serene Snowflakes).
A new technique we learned was how to use SU shimmer paint. You really can't see it on the photo but the card has been sprayed a light shimmery gold.
I have tried shimmer mists in the past and could not get on with them because I felt they warped the card too much. The SU shimmer paint has been mixed with alcohol so once sprayed the alcohol evaporates quickly and the card does not warp at all.

Christmas card made at Stampin' Up class. This was a set of three cards all using the lovely 'Dasher' stamp.

We stamped on to acetate using white Stazon ink and 'Serene Snowflakes' stamps. I love the effect of stamping on acetate and actually find the white Stazon much easier to use in this way than the black Stazon (it must be a different formulation because the white doesn't have that almond smell).

Stamping Up Dasher

Quite simple, I did try stamping snowflakes over the background but it looked too busy, the plain one was better.

Stamp is Dasher by Stampin' Up and the ribbon slot punch is SU too.

The label die is by Quickutz and I have used a tiny bit of Glamour Dust.

The ribbon is SU and is just two pieces looped, the button glued on to the top loop makes the shape of the bow.
