This was my favorite project! That copper glimmer paper is AMAZING with the Bermuda Bay ink brayered onto the feather layer. I used it as a stencil for another card, and by some miracle thought of putting that gorgeous Copper Glimmer paper behind it! I love it!

Photos just can't do it justice. You'll have to try your own! It's stunning!

 Here was my original idea using the Whisper White Note Cards with the feather laser cut piece as a stencil:

Here is a card made from the leftover piece of the Paper Pumpkin card with the Delightfully Detailed Lazer Cut Specialty Paper layered over top. You can also buy Delightfully Detailed Note Cards and Envelopes that have this same gorgeous watercolor base in Blackberry Bliss AND Mint Macaron!

Alpine Adventures Card #1 of 4

I'm the spotlight stamper for our Sweet Stampede team facebook this month, and I chose the Alpine Adventures stamp set to play with! For the next 4 weeks I will come up with a new project using this stamp set. I overlooked it at first, but on closer look there were so many fun little stamps to play with! I immediately thought of using the little decorative pieces with the Cable Knit Embossing Folder to make a Christmas sweater!

I stayed with Real Red ink so it wasn't TOO busy and the focus could be brought to that adorable sled! The framelits are definitely a must have and look amazing with the Wood Textures paper!  I'm including another version in my monthly newsletter, you can sign up on the right if you would like those exclusive monthly projects!
