 here's the project it inspired:

Embossing is the perfect technique to create an elegant Christmas card.

The Snow Crystal Cling Stamp was stamped on Night of Navy Cardstock using VersaMark ink, and embossed with the Silver powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders. A length of White ½" Iridescent Ribbon was wrapped around the bottom of the panel and secured on the reverse side.

The "Making Sprits Bright" sentiment (from the Joy of Noel Photopolymer Stamp Set) was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using VersaMark Ink and again embossed with Silver powder. Both ends of the cardstock were trimmed at an angle, and the strip adhered to the stamped Night of Navy panel over the top of the ribbon using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The finished panel was then adhered to a Night of Navy folded card base, again using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

This simple Christmas card is a great option if you need to make multiples this festive season.

A thin strip of Real Red Cardstock was adhered to the right-hand long edge of a strip of patterned paper from the Beary Christmas 12&quot x 12" Designer Series Paper pack. This was then adhered to the left-hand side of a Mossy Meadow folded card base.

The block font "Merry" from the More Wishes Photopolymer Stamp set was stamped on a Very Vanilla Cardstock rectangle using Real Red Classic Stampin' Ink, and the script font "Christmas" stamped underneath using Mossy Meadow ink, offset to the right, to complete the sentiment. The rectangle was added to a Red Red Cardstock mat, and the whole panel adhered to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Gold Festive Pearls were added to the right-hand section of the card front as a final embellishment.
