Flurry of wishes is on the retiring list but is still available until May 25th. The matching punch, Snow Flurry, was retired last year but it’s currently available on the clearance rack at a discounted price – $10.80 for a punch is a steal.

Here I used the snowflakes with white craft ink to make a background and one of the sentiments. That one has been used a lot. The deer is from Merry Mistletoe which is also retiring.

Here’s a card showing one of the other great sentiments – as well as the detail of the snowflakes, heat embossed in silver.

Do you remember where you were when you make some of your cards? I remember making this last card at a crop. Mostly because I struggled so hard to use the embellishment. I’d started off the card with the goal of using this embellishment and caused much hilarity as my friends watched my indecision!

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards from the past.

Here’s the third card that we made at class on Monday. It features a new Christmas set in the annual catalog, Merry Mistletoe and one that was carried over from last year’s holiday catalogue, Flurry of Wishes.

We started by stamping the snowflakes from Flurry of Wishes (two sizes on one stamp) in craft white ink onto night of navy. This ink takes a while to dry so you can either leave it for a while or use the heating tool on the first setting to help it along. Either way, take care not to smudge it whilst it’s drying. Next we took the beautiful deer from Merry Mistletoe and stamped it in versamark and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. With a mat of silver foil, it really pops. The sentiment is also from Flurry of Wishes and we stamped it in night of navy and cut it out with the layering oval framelits.

I was asked if I like the thick whisper white card stock. I absolutely love it – it’s all that I use now for white card bases. I still use the ordinary whisper white for layers and inside the card, but there’s no comparison for the base. The new thick card stock is so much more sturdy.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
