#7 ‘Tis the Season for Embossing

Xmas5

All Stampin’ Up!: Dasher, Serene Snowflakes, and Four the Holidays stamp sets
Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, and Whisper White Cardstock,
Silver Waffle Paper; Silver Glimmer Paper
Silver and white embossing powders; Versamark and White Craft inks

This waffle paper was so fun to work with…I just cut a piece 1 1/2” wide the width of the roll (about 9”) and that was plenty for the card. It pleats so easily and since it’s paper, regular SNAIL adhesive works to hold it. No fancy tricks to this card; just stamping and embossing. I think it’s elegant, but still a little fun with the ruffled paper.

I’ve used Frostwood Lodge DSP as the background for most of the card photos I’ve been posting. The colors in it include Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Early Espresso, Marina Mist, and Whisper White. I like a little blue thrown in with my Christmas colors, and usually some sort of brown, so this pack is perfect in my opinion! If you have a hankering for some, it’s in the Holiday Minicatalog. (Item 124002, $10.95 for 12 double-sided sheets).

Off to yoga and the grocery store now…I’m planning to center myself and get in the zone for cooking tomorrow. Enjoy the day!

    Very cool Megan. I really like the ruffle, too. And I agree the embossing and color combo is very elegant. I hadn’t seen the waffle paper before. Looks intriguing.

    Had to laugh about getting in the zone! I spent yesterday doing the big “cook out” and could probably haved used a little zoning myself–I’m avoiding the kitchen like the plague today! Ha! Somehow I suspect you’re more than up for the challenge, though. Good luck!
