Autumn to Christmas CTC#494


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 a sketch from our Mini Catalogue.

I love the simple design and colours in this card!


Because I'm in my Christmas Cardmaking Season, I had to create a Christmas card and used this sketch along with the Falling Snow and Peaceful Evergreen stamp sets.


It's a bit tricky to tell in this photo, but I was really going for LOTS of sparkle on my card.  There are actually 4 different ways to add shine and sparkle - silver foil, glimmer paper, rhinestones and shimmery white embossing paste!  


I swooshed some Shimmery White embossing paste all over my card after I had stamped the Falling Snow and the large tree from Peaceful Everygreens.


I love the way that the embossing paste blurs the colour on the tree a bit and gives it extra colour! 


Inside the card is the simple stamping without the embossing paste.


What do you think?  Would you like to smear shimmery embossing paste all over your card?

Up next is the extraordinary Rochelle

Make sure you keep hopping!
