A good portion of the country is having some pretty severe winter weather at the moment. We even have an inch or two of snow here in balmy Skagit County, Washington. Wait, did I say balmy? According to the weather station on my computer it's 20 degrees outside. (That's -6 Celsius.) Brrr!
This card isn't going to warm anyone up. But, it's simple and elegant, and great for a last minute card. It also works with many different color combinations, so if you are in a hurry and need to make several, they don't have to all be identical.
The stamp is from Stampin' Up's Punches Three hostess set, which will be retiring on January 17th. Don't miss out on your chance to earn it! The stamp and the background squares are punched with the Stampin' Up Scalloped Square punch. Other Stampin' Up supplies used were Pacific Point, Whisper White and Brushed Silver cardstock; Pacific Point Classic Ink and Versamark Ink with Clear Embossing Powder and an embossing tool, and my favorite new toy, the Sizzix Big Shot. The snowflake brads are non-Stampin' Up from my stash.
The embossed background is done with the Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing Folder. This is the first time I've tried embossing folders in my Big Shot and I love the results. It makes a great impression in just a few seconds. I'm really hoping Stampin' Up will have some exclusive embossing dies in the new catalog. Only a few weeks and we'll know!
With the coming new catalog we also have a new retirement list. If you haven't seen it yet, hop on over to my Stampin' Up to see it, or let me know and I will email you a .PDF of it. For the first time ever, Stampin' Up is having a sale on retiring stamps, too, so don't let any of your favorites get away. All retiring stamps are 10% off, and Stampin' Up is also giving all orders of $70 or more free shipping. It's a great time to stock up on stamps or supplies!
