Heat Embossed Snowflakes

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Carson's Creations
We went to Disney ~ Magic Kingdom this morning since our annual passes expire in a couple weeks. The park opened at 8am and we were able to get on the majority of the rides before lunch. I thought it was going to be super busy, but with the Disney app and three Fast Passes we enjoyed ourselves. That was until the ride home...the traffic on the turnpike was incredibly slow. It took us almost an extra hour to get home. During the long ride home, I was thinking about making a black and white heat embossed card. I knew I wanted red, and the blue came later.

Here are the results...

I used My Favorite Things Blueprint #20 for the scalloped edge and stitched black mat.

The Merry Christmas was cut with a MFT die.

The Martha Stewart snowflakes were heat embossed with White Zing embossing powder. I added either white or blue pearls to the center of each snowflake.
  
Inside both cards is a stamped MFT sentiment ~ Trim the Tree stamp set was used.
Challenges:

One more day before heading back to school. I keep thinking about what I need to do to be prepared for students. Lots to do still, but tomorrow is another day!

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

  9. These are very elegant looking. THey make me think of the chalkboard technique, but very clean well-kept chalkboards! Speaking of which, your heat embossing is the bomb! No stray specks.
