Wondrous Gift!

Wondrous Gifts
Images © 1990-2007 Stampin' Up!
This is one of the first stamp sets to make my wish list after the release of the new Fall and Winter Collection. I thought it would make the most elegant Christmas Cards. It also happens to be one of the featured sets for the Holiday Hooha class. I created an elegant card for the class and then another variation with all the trimmings.

Project Details
Stamps: Many Merry Messages, Wondrous Gift
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Blue Bayou, Soft Sky
Ink: Versmark, Blue Bayou, Whisper White Craft
Other: Silver Brads, 1/4" Circle Punch, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Ivory Narrow Organdy Ribbon, Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon, Silver Cording. liquid applique (snow)
Technique: Heat Embossing with Classic Ink
Technique Tip: To emboss with classic ink, begin by inking stamp with versamark ink, for best results you want a think layer of versmark. Then in the stamp with classic ink. Heat set as you normally would. You can re-ink with just classic ink several times before having to re-apply versamark.
