Just a quick post today. This is the card I made for my grandson for Christmas. Inside is the Snowman Soup poem with a packet of instant cocoa and a peppermint stick for stirring. That's the new Perfect Polka-Dots Textured Impressions embossing folder that Stampin' Up! is releasing in the new Occasions Mini Catalog (starts Jan. 5th). Isn't it mah-velous?
The SU embossing folders are so superior to anything else I've found. They emboss an ENTIRE A2 card front! Yup, the whole 4¼" x 5½".
Since I'm going in for surgery later today, I won't be posting again until Friday, when the Stampin' Addicts Occasions Mini Blog Tour starts. Be sure to check back then!!!
My upline, Rosalie, is an absolute whiz with punches and I think it may be starting to rub off on me (just a little!). I was playing around with the Large Oval punch and some scraps of Pumpkin Pie textured cardstock and came up with a cute little pumpkin, with leaf, stem and tendril. He sat on my desk, faceless, for a few weeks waiting for me to think of something to do with him. Last night I decided to try to make a face for him, using only punches. I used the Large Oval punch and took a bite out of a scrap of black cardstock, then I went in deeper with the Small Oval punch to get the "grin". The eyes and nose were made with a (non-SU) hand held heart punch.
I think he turned out kinda cute. What do you think?
