Greetings from the Lost Lagoon

Use items from your stash to continue to create new cards. Just because something is retired or discontinued, doesn't mean it is obsolete. If you are like me, then you buy only what you really like, so it never goes out of style. My collection just grows and grows. Here is a card with items from my stash.

Stamps:

   Letterpress Winter

Paper:

   Lost Lagoon A-2

   Whisper White 4 x 5

Accessories:

   Filigree Frame Embossing Folder

First, I dry embossed the front of my card base using the Filigree Frame Embossing Folder.

Third, I stamped the greeting using Mossy Meadow in the center of the Real Red Border.

Fourth, I centered and die cut this piece with a Deco Labels Framelit Die.

Fifth, I adhered the snowflakes using liquid adhesive and the felt snowflake using the rhinestone brad.

Sixth, I attached this piece onto the card base using dimensionals.

   Real Red 5-1/2 x 5-13/16

   Champagne Glitter Paper

   Christmas DSP 1-1/2 x 9

Ink:

   Real Red

   Basic Black

Technique:

   Flip/Flop Swing Card

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Snowflake Thinlits Dies

I include this card because I continue to use items long after Stampin' Up! retires or discontinues them. So, until they break or run out, you can check my blog for the old mixed in with the new. Click on the follow or subscribe button and you will not miss any of the entries.

First, I ran the Real Red card stock through the die cutting machine using the Snowflake Thinlits Dies.

I then used Real Red ink to randomly stamp snowflakes on the Real Red card: tone on tone stamping.

I also stamped the large snowflake on the snowflake cut out.

Die cut a snowflake out of the Champagne Glitter Paper. Adhered it with glue dots onto the card.

A greeting or sentiment can be stamped on the inside of the card. Merry Christmas is what I stamped.

Used a coordinating strip of Christmas DSP and created a belly band. Adhered the ends with glue dots.
