Blue Snowflake Holiday with a Square Lattice Background..

I thought I'd share another card from the Easy-to-Reproduce Holiday Swap...the creator didn't identify herself, so I can't give proper credit for this lovely card (if you are the creator please let me know).

This is an interesting blue and white themed card with simple stamping using the Snow Swirled Stamp set (111690) - a set of six stamps on page 40 of the 2010-2o11 Stampin' Up! catalog:

Cardstock color is Marina Mist, a sliver of Brushed Silver which gets the Eyelet Border Punch treatment, as well as Whisper White cardstock (after it was run through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice Embossing Folder).  Tuck the silver strip under the white lattice designed cardstock, with just a touch of silver peeking out...

I'm a fan of embossing folders! Not only do they have very cool designs that make wonderful backgrounds, accent pieces or borders, but they are incredibly easy and quick to use as well!

It doesn't show up in the photo too well, but each of the larger snowflakes are dotted in the center with one of the NEW Basic Rhinestone  embellishments that come 150 pieces to a package (50 each in 3 sizes) which have adhesive on the back-you simply peel them off and adhere! How easy is that! And, each package contains 3 strips of connected rhinestones or pearls too, which are PERFECT when you want to create a border!  LOVE these...

To finish the card off, the Whisper White satin ribbon is layered over a strip of Marina Mist cardstock cut slightly wider, then the embossed saying is punched out using the Oval Extra Large Punch.

All these products can be found in the Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog! It's easy to check them out or purchase them - just go to my DBWS Store by clicking HERE, then click on the SHOP NOW button-you can shop and purchase right from there! Remember, you can only receive "preferred pricing" when you order from a Demonstrator's Business Web Site (DBWS).  This means you will get the lowest shipping cost, lowest price, and can also earn hostess benefits/Stampin' Rewards for qualifying orders!  So always select a demonstrator when ordering from the online store!  If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I'd love to be your Creative Coach! 

Also one other note about the Online Store Web Site-Stampin' Up! has been busy enhancing the performance of the web site, so your Online Store Orders will be processed faster now! That's great news, because I know how busy everyone is...

Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting--please leave me a comment so I know you were here!

See you tomorrow!
