I have been on a kick as of late using the same layout and creating multiple cards with varying materials. For these cards, I went to my stash of Christmas Designer Paper. I think each card has a different feel based on the DSP used as well as the ribbon. I used the technique of embossing over the DSP to give the look and feel of a quilt. I really like this technique! I used the new Snowburst Embossing Folder on each of the cards. You can really see it in the first and third samples. I think the colors and design overwhelm it a bit on the middle sample. I also used the White Gel Pen to create faux stitching on the card. The Snow flake punch, a Rhinestone brad, and Basic Pearls embellish each card. When I showed the finished cards to my family, my daughter Olivia and I both liked the first one best. My son, Thomas, like the second one best, and my husband, Mitch liked the third best. These cards will be sent as my contribution for the Open Swappers swap this month. Each swapper will receive a different card! I hope they like the one they get!
