A few weeks ago I participated in a Demo only card swap. We had to choose a new set from the Holiday 2015 Catalog and each group had to make 10 + 1 cards for each group they participated in. (10 to swap and the +1 goes to the person hosting the swap) Our hostess was my fellow demo Stacy Lisk from Wisconsin and she did a fabulous job organizing and sorting all the swap cards. Here is my card:
Since this was a Demo only swap I had to put my best face forward and although the card layout is pretty basic, there is a lot of detail. I started with a Real Red base and added a layer of Stampin' Up!'s new Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum paper over Whisper White Card stock for stability. I used snail adhesive under the snowflakes so it wouldn't show through. Next came another layer of Real Red which was first run through my Big Shot with my Delicate ornaments Thinlits Die and then again with my Elegant Dots embossing folder. That piece was then backed with a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. Next came my gorgeous die cut ornament in Silver Foil. The ornament was then placed inside the cutout on my real red layer and adhered to the Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper. (I used our new Fine Tip Glue Pen for this step)
Once that layer was dry, I got out my trusty Stampin Write Markers in Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Garden Green and colored in the center floral design using the brush tip. This layer was then popped up off my card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. I finished it off with the Falala Die cut from the Seasonal Frames Thinlits Die and glued it down with our new Fine Tip Glue Pen. (LOVE that stuff!)
