Winter Woods for the Holidays

In my last post I talked about being on vacation for two weeks. When I return from an extended abscence like that, sometimes it’s hard to get back in the swing of crafting. I want to craft but I’ve go no good ideas in my head. It is those times that I pull out the catalog and start CASEing the samples. Today’s card is one of those.

The sample I CASEd is actually from the front cover of the Holiday catalog. I think it is displayed as a gift box, I just turned it into a card. One thing I really appreciate about Stampin’ UP! and their samples is how the show how various layers can work so well together. I know I would not have come up with the layers and placement on this card they way they did. I so envy that ability.

I love the new Tin Type Dynamic Embossing Folder. I have backsplash in my kitchen that is just like this. I spritzed a piece of Crumb Cake with water then ran it through the Big Shot to get a really deep impressing. After letting it dry, I used sponge dauber and Crumb Cake ink to darken the edges.

A quick pic of the supplies I used but I left out the Tin Type Dynamic embossing folder. A full list is below with links to my on line store. I think this is the third or fourth card I’ve made with Winter Woods. Definitely my favorite stamp and die set this season.
