Merry Side Step

Hi Stampers, Crafters and Blog Followers,

This is one that I've been thinking about making for a little while and I wanted it to be a Christmas card that involved the use of a photo. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people that doesn't mind showing you everything that I make but don't want to show off my family. Sorry,. but I'm sure that you can use your imagination... see that large amount of Bermuda Bay cardstock... I want you to imagine a very happy little family... Mummy and Daddy smiling away and little daughter with her hands over her face or fingers up her nose or pulling a little face - one where we all think it's cute but when she's older she finds it embarrassing! 

This is a side-step card and with the use of the new Stampin Up cutter, it was so easy to cut and score, without having to change a blade! 

The paper is from the Holiday catty (which, if you haven't got, you need to let me know so you can get one posted to you, or of course you can have a look online). It's called Winder Frost Paper Stack. The papers come 11.4cm x 16.5cm, there's 2 double-sided designs (so four patterns altogether) in a little paper pack. A great idea for the card maker, and fabulous for Christmas cards... 48 sheets is going to make a lot of cards!

I think I've already shown you the Expressions Thinlits before (and you will be seeing more of them!). My only piece of advice when using these is place a piece of baking paper between the thinlit and your cardstock... saves your cardstock from getting torn to pieces and saves your hair from being pulled out too! I've used the Silver Glimmer paper here and don't stress, if you measure you paper nicely and take your time to place the thinlit, you can use the other piece too so there's not wasting of paper, especially the glimmer papers!

Finally I would like you to check out the beautiful Frosted Finishes Embellishment... simply stunning if you ask me!

Keep leaving your mark,
Brooke
