PEACEFUL SEASON

Peaceful Season (Level II hostess set)

This is one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets from the Holiday Mini Catalog and the Scallop Trim Corner punch is also on my top list of favorites.

Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder (#120175, $7.95)

The background on this card is created by applying white pigment ink with a brayer to the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder.

Place a folded 5 1/2" by 4 1/4" piece of Crumb Cake card stock (CS) inside it and then run it through the Big Shot.  I usually like to run it through twice for a deeper impression.

 This is the impression you will get.  A beautiful background for your card.

Now stamp the verse "Season's Greetings" on a 4" x 2 1/2" piece of Crumbcake CS with Black Stazon ink.

With Real Red and Garden Green markers ink up the holly leaf and stamp it over the greeting verse to the left side.

With a piercing tool make a hole near the berries and place a glimmer brad (#121006, $4.95).  Mount this piece of CS on to a 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" Whisper White CS.

 I used dimensionals on the back of the Whisper White CS and mounted it to the card front.

I can't decide which one I like best.  Hope you get a chance to try this technique with your Textured Impressions Folders from Stampin' Up.  You can find them on page 214 of the Stampin' Up 2010 Idea Book & Catalog or go on-line to www.Stampinup.com .
