Merriest Trees Bundle CTC#492


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)


This week, we are CASEING any bundle from the Annual Catalogue.  The landing page has some lovely cards which are a great starting place for inspiration.  I like the white space of the card in the centre with the focal image right in the middle. 


I saw a fantastic video by Sara Douglass of Stampin' Up! showing heat embossing on glimmer paper and really wanted to try it!!  So here is my card using that technique with the Merriest Trees Bundle.


The greeting on the front is actually part of a complete greeting but I only wanted the words at the bottom.  So I added some washi tape to the stamp over the words I did not want, inked the image with Old Olive ink, removed the washi tape and then stamped just the words I wanted.  


The background for my card comes from the fabulous printed vellum which shows through the Basic White card base beautifully.


The front panel is just 5 cm wide but it allows the focal image to shine on the front while also allowing the gorgeous vellum to show off.  And the stars were die cut from Silver Foil and come from the Merriest Trees dies. 


Here's the amazing video showing this great technique with the embossing on glimmer paper here


Up next is the extraordinary Rochelle

Keep hopping for lots of fabulous inspiration.
