Good morning, afternoon, or evening whenever you are reading this post!
My card today is a CASE of the card I made for Jari on Thursday. I had a request from a friend to make a December birthday card. She saw my post on my FB page so she asked for that one. Since I never make a card exactly the same, I created this for her.
The mat is a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of DSP from Feels Like Frost, which will be in the 2020 Holiday Catalog. I cut a piece of Silver Foil 1/2" x 5" and a piece of 3/8" Silver Metallic Edged ribbon 12" to wrap around the seam and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to the card base with liquid glue.
After rubbing my embossing buddy on a scrap of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink. I sprinkled it with Silver Emboss Powder and heat set it. I punched it out with the Everyday Label punch and edged it with my Pretty Peacock Stampin' Write Marker. I adhered it to the card front with Dimensionals. The "December" is from a retired Paper Pumpkin kit. The "Happy" and "Birthday" are from the Well Said Stamp set.
To bling it up a bit and mimic ice on the tree branches, I added three Basic Rhinestone jewels.
This is my favorite design in this patterned paper pack and I have two pieces left. I'm thrilled that it is returning next year.
I'm entering my card at Double Trouble Paper Crafting #44 Wrap It Up. Thing 1 is using patterned paper, Thing 3 is adding a ribbon, and for Thing 2, they are partnering with ArtsyStamper Digitals Challenge #5 Winter Holidays theme. Now, you may think that a birthday is not a holiday BUT, when that person has been given the day off from work, that's a holiday! The power company my father worked for always gave birthdays off as holidays!!

Beautiful design paper makes a very CAS card with just a few embellishments...stunning card and a Birthday in December is certainly considered a Holiday.
