Christmas Magic Diamond Fold

I've always had a soft spot for the diamond fold!  This one features four of the five gorgeous images included in the Christmas Magic stamp set (which also includes three lovely greetings).

The Stampin' Trimmer makes it sooo easy to create this card!  They're made from a piece of cardstock 12" x 4", so I usually cut my 12" cardstock into three and make three at a time.

Gorgeous images from the Christmas Magic stamp set

I stamped the images onto Whisper White cardstock with Basic Black Archival ink and coloured them with a variety of Stampin' Write Markers from the Many Marvellous Markers box.

I masked the snowman before stamping the trees.  

Although it doesn't show up very well in my photos,  I watercoloured the sky and snow areas with Smoky Slate and Sky Blue (using the blue for the snow).  There's a touch of Gold Wink of Stella on the wreath decorations.

I cut out the greeting with the banner from the Large Numbers Framelits, glued it to some Basic Black cardstock and snipped around it to create the black border.

With apologies for my finger (!), this is how the card looks when it is folded up

The card folds up into a 4" square.

Thank you for visiting!

The Sky is the limit for World Traveler & Traveler!

 Today I was making more samples for my 9 week semester of classes (starting 2 February).  

World Traveler embossing folder with Marina Mist ink - letterpress technique

This card featuring the World Traveler embossing folder with the ship from the Traveler stamp set, is for the class about the Letterpress technique.

The front of the ship is popped up on dimensionals

I liked the combination so much that I decided to pair the World Traveler embossing folder with some other modes of transport!  Since the others were land-based,though, I decided to emphasise the land masses on the globe rather than the sea.

The aircraft is from the Sky is the limit stamp set

The birthday greeting on all of the cards is from the Sky Is The Limit stamp set which can't be purchased because it's one of the wonderful FREE products that are exclusive to Sale-A-Bration - for every $90 of product you buy, you can choose one FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.

The train is from the Traveler stamp set

The label for the greeting is cut with the Project Life Cards & Labels framelits.

The aircraft is popped up on dimensionals as are the front of the ship and the front of the train.

I like this embossing folder so much that I can forgive its geographical inaccuracy!
