Joy Christmas card

I couldn't resist the red foiling on the Stampin' Up! Wonder of the Season Memories & More card & envelopes pack - it's gorgeous. 

I teamed it with the Christmas Gleaming stamp set, co-ordinating Gleaming Ornaments punches and Playful Alphabet dies to create this card. The ornaments were heat embossed with Silver emboss powder to add some extra sparkle too. Most of the items used are included in the Year-end Closeout sale on now.

Here's a close-up of these beautifully foiled cards...

Balloon birthday card

Who's a fan of the movie Up?  When making this birthday card using the Stampin' Up! Balloon Bouquet punch, the movie Up came to mind and inspired some of the design.

This card also shows how to add some interest to punched shapes too by doing more than just punching card stock:

1. Punch Designer Series Paper
2. Dry emboss the punched shape, or
3. Use a background or texture stamp to add some colour to the punched shape.

These are just three things you can do to step up a plain punched shape.

The card also features the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder and Playful Alphabet die set.

If you'd like to learn cardmaking, please contact me as various online classes are available to Australian residents to complete at their leisure.  I'll return to in person classes sometime in the future once the COVID-19 pandemic allows us to safely gather and craft with shared supplies again.
