Add a bit of texture to your background by using an embossing folder. I added color to mine as well to draw more attention. What do you think?

   Argyle Embossing Folder

   2-1/2" Circle Punch

First, I dry embossed my Whisper White panel using the Argyle Embossing Folder. I then sponged it with alternating colors: Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy. I adhered it to the Dapper Denim card front.

Next, I stamped my sentiment on the Whisper White square. I accented the "X" with some thread. I then die cut it using Apothecary Accents Die. I sponged the top using Dapper Denim and the bottom of it using Emerald Envy. I then adhered this onto the Basic Black circle. I added an Emerald Envy enamel shape to the left and a Dapper Denim enamel shape to the right of it. Lastly, I added faux stitching using a white gel pen. The was all then attached to the center of the card front using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

First, I die cut 6 balloons using the Balloon Framelits Dies and some Apricot Appeal DSP. 

Next, I stamped and die cut my sentiment. I sponged it using Apricot Appeal and added three brads to it.

Next, I stamped my card front. I stamped the sun in the upper right side. I laid down the balloon as a guide and stamped the balloon tails and the sparkles.

I then adhered one balloon onto the card front. I then folded the balloons in half and adhered them together, side by side. I followed a tutorial found at SCS called Honeycomb Shapes. You may want to take a look and then adapt it for your own card.

Lastly, I attached the sentiment using dimensionals and adhered all of the layers together. One of the Basic White panels was adhered to the inside of the card.

Frosty Christmas

Burrr! Can you feel the cold blowing through?  I really like the way this card turned out with this All Is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper. Here are the details:

Stamp Sets: Lovely As a Tree, Good Greetings, Itty Bitty Backgrounds
Paper: Soft Sky A-2, Basic Black 4 X 5 1/2, All Is Calm Specialty DSP 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
Ink: Frost White Shimmer Paint, White Embossing Powder, Versamark
Technique: Heat Embossing, Sponging
Accessories: Frosted Sequins, Rhinestones, Scallop Oval Punch, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Glue Dots, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Big Shot, Dimentsionals, Adhesive

Make sure you use the embossing buddy on the Basic Black card stock before you stamp with the Versamark. I stamped everything on the black, including the Itty Bitty Background Dots for the snow. Then I added the white embossing powder, applied the heat, let it dry for a bit, and then cut it out using the Apothecary Accent Framelits. Lastly, I added the lines with the Frost White Shimmer Paint and a sponge dauber. I then glued the DSP onto the card stock, followed by the Basic Black, making sure it was centered. I stamped and punched out my sentiment using a leftover piece of the DSP. I randomly added the sequins and the rhinestones.
