Use an 8” x 8” piece of copy paper to make the inside “explosion” part of the card.

Even though the next card we made uses Designer Paper that has "Christmas" in its name, you can make lots of cards that last all winter long...And even other seasons!

TIP:

Sponge ink on the Designer Paper before adhering to the card.

 The Lovely as a Tree stamp set has been around for a long time, and I can see why.  It is a versatile set, great for lots of occasions!

We made the card, above.  We could choose words and sponging, or leave those things off.  The champagne embossing powder was made by mixing half gold and half silver embossing powder.

This alternate card is a full size card without any embossing.  Still beautiful, but super quick and easy!

TIPS:

-Use a small paintbrush to wipe off any excess embossing powder.

The last card we made reminds me of a cold winter night.  The Big Shot and some Thinlits made this card quick and easy.
