Dynamic Christmas Card



Hello!
Happy Remembrance Day!  Today is a great day to stop and remember.  To stop and be thankful for our freedom and the cost at which it came.  I am thankful for my Grandpa who fought for our country in the second world war.  I am thankful for the thousands of men and women who currently serve for our freedom world wide.  I thank the families who allow their loved ones to serve with honour.  Please take a moment today to be thankful and remember.

Today's card is for this week's Dynamic Duos challenge.  I am ashamed to say that I do not own anything Sahara Sand.  How is that even possible?  Especially for a Demonstrator?  Shameful I know.  I had to substitute Crumb Cake for the Sahara Sand.  I love the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set.  It has to be one of my favourite sets from the Holiday catalogue - especially with those coordinating dies!   I stamped the longer ornament on Crumb Cake using Versamark then used clear embossing powder so the ornament looks a bit darker.  Another shameful confession...I just discovered that there was very vanilla seam binding!  How on earth did I miss that one?  Now that I have it...I can't stop using it!!!!  


Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake
Stamps: Ornament Keepsakes, Petite Pairs (Sentiment)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Versamark
Other: Basic Pearls, Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, Holiday Ornament Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Jen

  2. No Sahara Sand?!?! Isn't it funny how we have "our" colors. I ADORE this card! Between the embossing, ribbon, and ornaments I think it's simple yet stunning...and I'm on the hunt for a Christmas card I can crank out a few of!:) Thanks for playing with us at Dynamic Duos.

  6. Gorgeous Jen! I'm cracking up at your discovery of Very Vanilla seam binding, too. I have "found" things like that in the catalog, too. Lol! Makes you wonder how you overlooked them all that time. Thank you so much for joining us this week at Dynamic Duos! :)
