It’s Thursday, and time to play with the Pals at Pals Paper Arts! This week is a sketch challenge designed by the fabulous Nicole Watt. From the moment I saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to use the new Festive Flurry stamp set and the gorgeous Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. I hope you enjoy today’s card.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Jeweled Elegance
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Blinged! Snowflake images from Festive Flurry were stamped in Coastal Cabana and Metallic Silver Encore inks. They were layered and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Pearls and Frosted Finishes Embellishments add to the elegance.
- Foiled! The new Silver Foil was zipped through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Hexagons were snipped from one of the Winter Frost Designer Paper patterns and topped off with Pearls.
- Ruffled! The new 3/8″ Ruffle Stretch Trim in Coastal Cabana adds the perfect finished edge to the focal circle. I used little pieces of Sticky Strip to hold it in place. Because of the edge of the trim, it is easy to attach it evenly around the circle.
Muffy Lin and I are on our way to Waukesha and Elk Horn, Wisconsin for 6 dog shows. We will be returning late next Tuesday. Yikes! I just got home from Convention in Salt Lake City, where I stayed five nights…and now I am off again for another six days? Whoa! What was I thinking? Luckily next weekend’s show is only 5 minutes from my home, and I will be able to sleep in my own bed. Woo hoo!

This is gorgeous Ann. Love those Festive Flurries!
Great card! I was wondering if that was the new foil stuff that I have totally missed in the catalog until Mary or someone used it! That embossing folder is wonderful with this plus the little snipped and blinged hexagons! This is just one cool card! There, I said it!
Only one daughter showing? Wouldn’t you know the perfect time for me to see the dog show there in West Burlington, and I have plans to go to Newton! Go figure! Good luck and safe trip to you two!
