Petals-a-Plenty

Today I thought I would share with you the card that I mentioned in my December 2^nd blog post HERE that we did for my technique club in November. It uses the Wax Paper Resist Technique and the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder. Which one do you like better?

This next card I created using the Hand-Penned Holidays stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog and the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder using the same technique. I will miss this set with its elegant script and it is sooo forgiving if you don’t get it lined up perfectly. Remember you only have until January 3^rd to order those items you love from the Holiday Mini Catalog and why not check out the Clearance Rack at the same time – there are some wonderful deals going on right now.

I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season with family and friends. I love this time of year and now that both my children are out for their school breaks we are working around the house getting ready for Christmas. I finished all of my baking yesterday with the help of my oldest son, Johnathan. He loves to help me bake the Christmas cookies so he can snitch some and is sure he is getting his favorites too! It makes me feel good that he enjoys the holiday traditions we’ve built as a family over the years.

It’s the Season of Joy, that special time of year when we celebrate Christ. Here is a card that I designed using the Wax Paper Resist technique that we did in November’s Stamp Club meeting.

I used the Season of Joy stamp set since it coordinated with our Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder for the Big Shot. After all, you see poinsettias everywhere this time of year. My son grew some in his green house class last year and brought one home that was beautiful. He was full of interesting facts about them that I wasn’t aware of, but then I have a brown thumb.

I love the way this card turned out, my family however liked my other design better. I’ll try and post the one I ended up using later so you can see which one you like better.
