elegant holiday cardIt’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This  week, the talented Jaydee has provided us with a fun sketch, just perfect for showing off your favorite designer paper.  As for me, I went with a elegant pattern from Stampin’ Up!’s Joyous Noel collection.  I hope you enjoy today’s elegant holiday card and FREE tutorial!

The owl and branch took center stage on today’s card.  Die cut from Copper Foil, the detailed owl was adhered to Whisper White cardstock, and then trimmed.  He perches on a Copper Foil branch, against a backdrop of Gray Granite.  Rhinestone eyes are the perfect touch!

The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede.  The Night Owl Thinlits collection contains the perfect die for cutting it out.  For contrast, I punched out two 1″ circles from Copper Foil, and used them as accents.

Because of the gorgeous paper and beautiful die cuts, I decided to keep things relatively simple. The only embellishments are two rhinestone eyes.

Washi Tape Holiday cardIt’s time for the Festive Friday Challenge, where every challenge is a party! For FF0017, we are celebrating World Card Making Day (October 8th) and/or Washi Tape. I will be celebrating World Card Making Day by making holiday cards.  Because I had a ton of fun using the Suite Season Specialty Washi Tape, I will probably whip up a couple more of today’s Washi Tape designs while I’m at it.  Whatever way you decide to create is fine with us. We would love to have you play along.

Strips of Suite Season Washi Tape are alternated to form a festive holiday pattern in traditional holiday colors.

Once the card stock panel was completely covered, I matted it onto Copper Foil, and adhered it to the card base.

A fabulous sentiment,  created with the Merry Christmas to All stamp set, was all that was needed to complete the card.
