Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - The Card's in the Mail

 

Original card design by Tarabeth Stamps.

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends December Blog Hop!

This month's theme is The Card's Are In The MAIL. The card I am sharing today (cased from a Pinterest photo) is being sent to some family and a few very close friends. when I saw the Above It All Bundle I knew this was going to be one of my Christmas cards for this year. Many of my friends and our family were avid skiers. In fact that is one of the reasons I agreed to the corporate move that brought us to Colorado so long ago. This will be a wonderful reminder of those many happy Ski Vacations we all took. 

This bundle is so fantastically versatile. You can create scenes with just stamps or just the dies. I have used both stamps (the trees & sentiments) and dies (the gondola). Because I am making roughly a dozen of these cards I am also using my stamparatus.

I started with the Pretty Peacock trees. After I had stamped the trees on the first card front I used it to start the other card front stamping. Once I have stamped these trees I will stamp more trees with Lost Lagoon (1st & 2nd generation). When all of the trees are stamped I will emboss the card fronts with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (Decembers FREE gift from me for a $50 Purchase in my Online Store). The gondola is die cut from Smoky Slate Cardstock. The gondola trim & the hardware is die cut from Silver Foil Specialty Pack (retired). By the way, the Above It All Bundle will be retiring soon. The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink on Basic White Cardstock. The sentiment mat is die cut from the Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP) with the Perennial Postage Dies. I matted the finished card front with Basic White Cardstock and this was popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on a Pretty Peacock card base. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the finished card.
