A Swinging Christmas Card
This view shows the card open so you can see the window part that ‘swings’
When you open that card out, this is what you see. Another clever card that doesn’t take too long to make. You also just have to love the Stampin’ Up! stamp sets and markers. We used the markers to colour the sentiment stamp.
It’s Almost Christmas Time
I went to Leonie’s today and we made 4 lovely cards. I will share them with you over the next few days.

I love the Medallion stamp. We stamped it on the white card with Versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder. After that we sponges over the image with ink. The Butterfly stamp is gorgeous and we stamped that using Stazon black ink. We used Aqua painters to apply the ink and then cut around the butterfly and adhered it to the card using dimensionals. The sentiment is coloured with the Stampin’ Up® water based markers in two colours. It’s important to remember to hugh on the stamp to ensure it’s wet enough to stamp on the card. This is such an elegant card and again could be used for many occasions.
