Heartfelt Inkspiration

I love silver and blue for winter, so before I put away the Christmas products (but not too far away), I thought I’d see how the Evergreen Forest embossing folder looks on Silver Foil:

I used another of the sentiments from Wrapped in Christmas on the Misty Moonlight band. I didn’t have much space to work with, but I think “peace” is the perfect message for this serene scene!

This image makes it appear that the card base is Balmy Blue, but it actually is that gray-blue Seaside Spray that I love. Mark my words: this In Color may retire next year, but it will live on in this studio!

To increase the feel of winter, I added a band of Vellum Cardstock embossed with the Dainty Diamonds folder (new in the Stampin’ Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalog). This is a 3D folder, and whether that explains it or the fact that there is so much embossing going on, the vellum cracked a bit. Luckily, I could hide it behind the silver panel.

I promise I’m not going all fa-la-la already, but I wanted to make up something using the embossed piece I showed in yesterday’s video revealing part of my pre-order from the upcoming mini.

No point in going overboard when you have this beautiful Brushed Metallic 12″ x 12″ Cardstock embossed with the equally beautiful Evergreen Forest embossing folder. So I didn’t! However, I couldn’t resist including some embossing using one of the Wrapped in Texture folders.

There are two sheets each of three colors — gold, bronze, and copper — in the Brushed Metallic pack; I used the gold here. Some of you may remember when Stampin’ Up! carried 8½” x 11″ brushed metallic card stock that had a matte finish. That was beautiful (I loved using it) but not the same as this, which is a shiny metallic foil with a subtle brush. Also beautiful!

Remember that the Stampin’ Up! August-December 2020 Mini Catalog does not go live until August 4. There’s plenty of time to make a shopping list! Perhaps you’ll start with the items you see here!
