Dry Embossed Christmas Card for Chalk Ah Lot

My card today is very simple but out of 14 cards my husband picked it as his favorite. It is for the Chalk Ah Lot challenge Christmas with chalk.


I used Glitsy powdered chalk, a silver metallic color, from our sponsor Stamp N Plus to highlight a few of the embossed snowflakes. When I combine the powdered chalk with paint it makes a great medium to paint with. 


The Season's Greetings sentiment stamp is by Stamp N Plus and stamped in Hero Art black inkThe embossing folder is by Darice and the red paper is from Hobby Lobby that I used a EK Success border punch on it. The other border is from a border swap I did on another site so I'm not sure who it is by. That's all there is to it. Pretty simple but just the way he likes them-whatever:)

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards all year Round Mid Month

Welcome to my mid month post for Christmas Cards All year Round. The theme this month is Stockings. My beautiful Stocking stamp by Deep Red Stamps and can be found at A Cherry on Top.


I heat embossed the stocking on Strathmore watercolor paper and then proceeded to color it ink with distress ink and distress markers with a water pen which are all by Ranger Industries. I truly love how this one turned out. Beautiful bright colors, a little bit of shading and nice blending make me a happy crafter. I fussy cut the image out and then added some glitter to the white part of the candy canes. The stocking was then adhered onto a Spellbinders die cut. 


For the rest of my card I used Crate Papers patterned paper and a Momenta sticker sentiment. The brad is by Creative Imaginations and the ribbon is from my stash. 


Thanks for stopping by.
