I just got in some embossing folders from Cut@Home and had to try them out.This silver card stock was free. We have what is called the Teacher's Supply Depot that anyone from the public schools here in Jax can go to and get items for free. The items are donated by businesses that are upgrading their offices or getting rid of old stock or what have you and I picked up 10 sheets of this silver card stock. I should have gotten 100. Each sheet is 31x19. We can go in once a month. The next time is Jan 7th. I can't wait to go again and see if I can get more of this.
Anyway, what do you think of the cards? I tried a little white bow but didn't like it. Should I put a sentiment on it or some more sparkles up in one of the corners? What about ribbon? I think these cards are really pretty. I know that is strange coming from me. I rarely ever like anything I make.
Thanks for tuning in.
Ohh Leslie...these are just fantastic!!! I agree you should have taken every scrap of that silver paper.
ReplyDeleteI am in the less is more camp...and I think these are SO stunning that they can stand alone without anything else. I was thinking about maybe NOEL but how would you get it on there??? adding a CS sentiment would ruin your effect. Personally I would leave them alone as they are just amazing!
There is always the inside for the Merry Christmas!
Great looking trees - the silver cardstock looks just wonderful with the embossing.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!!!!! These are insanely wonderful!!! Get more paper, darlin, get more!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want to leave them alone...maybe a little distressing ink or Copic on the tree stand and the tree top. Or edge distress the colored mat as a contrast to the crisp cleanness of the silver.
Leslie, I really love these. Just perfect!
Wow, this is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI don't think they need anything, they are just beautiful the way they are. Isn't that a wonderful embossing folder? Hope your doing well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, I think your cards are gorgeous as they are. Simply add a sentiment inside. What fun to get these kinds of free papers--Wow--I'd be camped out there. :) Merry Christmas! Love your Jax snow effect!
ReplyDeleteLeslie these are absolutely, positively, breathtakingly stunning! I wouldn't add a thing as I believe you have achieved perfection. Now I need to get that folder....
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant Leslie it looks so lovely with the embossed tree! Beth
ReplyDeleteWowie, Leslie, these don't need a single thing! They are just STUNNING all by themselves! This paper is amazing! I love that it doesn't have a single "wrinkle" in it! Bee-u-ti-ful!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of them just as they are! I wouldn't add anything to the front at all.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the perfect as is category too! That paper is amazing - what a score!
