MEANT TO BE WHITE ON WHITE CARD...

Hubby and I celebrated our 37th anniversary last night (this picture was from a few weeks ago) and today I have the white on white card I made for him to share with you!  I usually don't make him such a frilly card, but I've been wanting to make a white on white card for a while, so he got to be my guinea pig!

I love the stark simplicity of white on white even if the card itself is not a simple one.  I added lots of texture and depth to this one!  I think this card would be a wonderful wedding card, but could it could be the perfect Valentine, anniversary, engagement or bridal shower card as well!  
 

For the center panel:  I first placed the heart die in the center and ran it through the Big Shot, putting the heart aside.  Then I embossed the center panel with the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder.  Aren't you thrilled that this folder made the CarryOver List?  One of my favs from the Holiday Catalog!  Next I used Sponge Daubers to apply Frost White Shimmer Paint to the panel to give it a pearlized look.  Then when assembling the card, I placed the heart die cut back inside the center panel when adhering!

The sentiment is a 1" strip that was punched with the Everyday Label Punch centered on the strip.  Hope you enjoyed my attempt at a white on white card!

CHRISTMAS TEA TINS #2: Merry Christmas Copper Treat Tin...

Today, I have the second in my mini Christmas Tea Tins series to share with you.  It is also the simplest of the five I designed.

I just LOVE the words in the Merry Christmas Framelits and I had to use the Merry from them for one of my tins!  I was tempted to add more elements to it (aren't I always?), but decided to just emboss the oval instead.

You can see the top a little better in this one.  For both the oval on the front, and the top, I embossed the pieces with the FABULOUS new Tin Tile Embossing Folder and then used a Sponge Dauber to lightly brush the Copper Shimmer Paint on the raised areas.  Although I really liked it on the Merry Merlot, I'm not sure I'm loving it on the Galvanized Metallic Paper.  I'll have to think more on that before making more of them.

For more details on the basics of assembling the Christmas Tins, please check out the first Christmas Tin post:  Coppery Snowflakes Christmas Tin.  Hope you are enjoying these easy breezy Christmas Tins!
