This go round, Online Card Classes are giving extra days after lessons to complete the cards. I was able to finish up a second card from Day One’s lesson of the Online Card Classes Holiday Workshop yesterday afternoon, but it was too late to photograph it when I finished. There’s still not a light in which to photograph it, but time is of the essence! 🙂
I tried the Z-fold card shown by Jennifer McGuire, using papers from 25th and Pine for the card base, rather than stamping the background as Jennifer did (which was lovely by the way).
The card opens up to reveal the sentiment “Happy Holidays.” I heat embossed sentiments from the Hero Arts “Banners and Messages” stamp set. I already know I’ll be reaching for this set time and again. I used WOW gold embossing powder. I’d really like to try the Hero Arts gold embossing powder. I use their silver powder all the time. The tree lights were cut from Stampin’ Up gold paper with a Poppystamps die.
Beautiful. I like how you used gold paper for the lights.
I love the patterned paper you chose for your background and your embossed sentiments are so elegant! Gorgeous card, Jean!
awesome Jean!!! Can’t wait to make this one! I ordered the lights this morning! woohoo!
Love the papers and everything! embossing… gold star…fabulous!
Love your card!Very Pretty!!!
I chose the same patterned paper! (It’s gotta be my favorite new holiday collection) This is gorgeous…love all the gold accents.
So many little details and perfect pattern and color selections that made your card truly merry and bright!
Love the look with the patterned paper — and the gold lights and star are stunning!
Very cute! I really like the patterned paper and gold accents.
You did a great job on this card. I love the patterned paper!
Absolutely wonderful! Like it very much, the pp brings more umph than a stamped bg.
