A Techno Christmas

I made this card on Wednesday after spending the morning with my daughters and grandchildren at an Ekka Fun Day.  I hadn’t had time to photograph the card and funnily enough last night was issued with a challenge by Vicky to make a card without using an embossing folder, which made Gwen suggest that I might struggle.  I must admit to a certain fascination with the embossing folders and I do use them on almost the card I make, however, I CAN make a card without using them. 

The sketch was fairly straightforward and I decided to keep it simple.  My base card is Cherry Cobbler and I added Jolly Holiday Designer Paper.  I used one side of the DSP at the top of the card and the reverse side at the bottom.  I stamped the greeting from Contempo Christmas onto Whisper White card and attached it to Cherry Cobbler card which has both edges punched using the Scallop Trim Border Punch.  I attached this to the card front making sure that it covered the joins in the Designer Paper.   I stamped the “ornament” image from the Contempo Christmas stampset onto Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler ink and punched it out using the Ornament Punch.  I tied a bow in Old Olive 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon and attached it to the ornament using a Mini Glue Dot.  I added dimensionals t the back of the ornament and attached it to the card front. 

As I said very simple, but it gave me excuse to use up some more of my retiring Designer Paper.  Gotta love that.

Bye for now, Kris.
