et me breakdown some of the details. I punched the 1-3/4" Circle from a small piece of Whisper White cardstock. The circle that is punched out is stamped with the snowman. I colored it in with markers. Then, I added some fake snow (for the Christmas Village aisle of your favorite holiday shopping center) to the Sweet Treat cup. Not too much or it will cover up your snowman! Peel the backing off the Sweet Treat cup and gently place the stamped circle over the opening. It just barely fits. Apply adhesive to the back of your Whisper White cardstock, insert the Sweet Treat cup in the hole with the snowman right side up, and adhere to the Bashful Blue cardstock. (Note: The base of the snowglobe is the ornament from the Sweet Centers stamp set. You could also use the basket of the hot air balloon, which I think is a little more proportionate in size to the Sweet Treat cup.)

or the background paper, I used the Bride Speciality paper (#115669, $13.95). It comes with 5 sheets each of 2 different patterns (this one and stripes). I used the rubber brayer to apply ink to the paper. The iridescent design on the paper resists the ink and shows through the color. Isn't that cool? I've seen several people demo this technique...not sure who originally thought it up, but I love it! This paper can be used for so much more than wedding stationary! Just think of the possibilities as you brayer the designs in any of our 55+ colors!

Here's a close-up so you can see the shimmery texture:
First, the shimmer mist part. I mixed 1 tsp-ish of Frost White Shimmer Paint (from the Holiday Mini Catalog, any color will work) with 1/2 bottle (I used a Stampin' Mist bottle) of rubbing alcohol. Shake well. (Use rubbing alcohol instead of water because it dries faster.)
I didn't want the middle to be shimmery, so I used a piece of heavy cardboard (cut from the Ovals die with the Big Shot) and put it in the center of my cardstock. Then, I sprayed the entire cardstock evenly.
Then I took the entire thing (cardboard on top of cardstock) and put it face down on a Texturz plate (a flat Texturz plate, not the embossing folder). I covered it with the Silicone Rubber and Impressions Pad like normal and ran it through the Big Shot.
The cardboard prevents the cardstock from being texturized in the center and the result is a stunning "faux frame" that really pops!

I used the Dasher stamp, but I didn't want all of the antlers to show up, so I inked it with my marker and only colored part of it.

Last week, my downline Jessica stayed overnight after a group meeting and we stayed up until the wee hours of the morning (3:00 am!) designing a 6x6 album for a workshop she is doing this weekend. (If you're in the Springfield area and would be interested in attending this intergenerational workshop on Saturday, click here for more info.) It's been awhile since I stayed up that late stamping. And although I enjoyed the quiet and peace that comes with late night stamping, I certainly paid for it the next day! And it didn't help that my 4 year old got up at 5:15 am!

It looks much more complicated than it is. To do this "Reverse Masking" technique, cut an oval (or circle or other shape) from a scrap piece of cardstock. This is the "mask". Place it over your good cardstock. Stamp inside the cut out (stamp over the edges of the mask too!) and then use a sponge to sponge inside, around the edges or the entire cutout area. Lift the mask and reveal the faux layer you've created. Then stamp another image overlapping the faux layer and add a greeting. So easy!
You can't really see the glitter on Dasher-turned-Rudolph, so here's a close-up. I used 2-Way Glue and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to add the sparkle.

I started by clear embossing the Medallion image on Whisper White cardstock. Then, I stamped the Medallion image in color on a scrap piece of cardstock and cut it out. I kept the leftover piece of the cardstock that had the outline of the Medallion cut from it and used that as a mask. I placed it around the embossed image and then used sponge daubers to sponge three different colors all over the Medallion. I used Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, and Rich Razzleberry. The mask kept the line around the Medallion nice and clean and crisp. I used a cotton ball to gently rub off any excess ink off the embossed image. Viola. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

It's hard to tell in the photo, but the card front is cut off on the bottom, right under the white strip of cupcakes. So the yellow cardstock underneath that is actually the inside of the card.
