Contemporary Holiday Card

Contemporary Holiday

Hi All,

Popping in two Fridays in a row! Seriously, I have so many cards I want to show you and there’s just not enough time. 🙂

I created this card with the Stampin’ Up! Festival of Trees and matching punch. Punches are so quick and easy. They are especially great if you are making multiples of the same card for the holidays.

Here’s a close-up of the pearl trees I heat-embossed with Ranger Embossing Pearl in Silver:

Enjoy the video and have a great weekend!

    Ok, this is truly a treat, a video on a Friday again? Love it Darlene!! I couldn’t see it yesterday, it was crazy busy here but I’m enjoying it on this chilly early Saturday morning. I love stamp sets that have a coordinating punch or die, this makes it so much easier when you are making more than one card.
    I love the very crisp and elegant look of this card, the pearl embossing powder shines beautifully on this cute little trees. You are totally spoiling us Darlene, thank you so much for the extra video this week.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

    Thank you Darlene for the extra video! The clean and simple cards are wonderful and there’s a lot of value in a card that can be easily made multiple times. I hope you make more cards with this set, as I am going to soon order it from SU. I also appreciate when you review the newly released catalogs and point out your favs and make some examples. That is appreciated immensely! Thanks so much!
