First Attempt


I think that I did it! I had such a good instructor. Thanks again Julie. I will try to post her picture later.
This is the card that I made for this weeks challenge: Emboss the Cut at The Cuttlebug Spot. (www.thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com)
Please come check us out....lots of talent and gorgeous ideas. Plus enter your own and maybe win a prize. This week the prize is a package of ClearScraps ornament shapes. There are 4 ornaments in each package. You can shop at ClearScraps online at www.clearscraps.com They have gorgeous albums, shapes, kits, and ideas galore! You can Cuttlebug them!!!!!!!
This 5x7 card is very unique because the ornaments can be untied and hung on the recipients own Christmas tree.
Ornaments: 2 ClearScrap ornament shapes, 1 ClearScrap blank sheet cut with the Sizzix "Round Ornament" die cut. Toppers made using sticky back duct tape from the hardware store. The cord used to tie them with is from StampinUp.
Cuttlebug Embossing Folders: D'vine Swirl for the large round ornament, Winter Jelly for the small round ornament, and Textile and Just My Type for the long ornament.
I also used Textile for the photo corners punched out using the StampinUp Double Photo punch.
Stamp: Inque Boutique "Nightingale" for the swirl at the top.
Ink: StazOn "Eden Green" and "Black Cherry"
Pen: Sakura's Clear Stardust Gelly Roll Pen. (It only shows up when the card is tilted a certain way.)
Copic Markers: R29 and G07 I colored on the small ornament being careful NOT to get it in the StazOn ink. It will work to ink on one side and color on the back side.
Paper: Georgia Pacific cardstock
This challenge was so much fun! I am trying to learn this blogging stuff, so please be patient with me. TT YL

The card is beautiful. Congrats on your new blog. It's looking mighty good!

Question about the card. Are the corners metal or some sort of embossed metallic paper? Love them.
