Golden Dasher Meets Bride Specialty Paper

Hi Stampers,

I wanted to make a special card for my customers who took time out of their crazy busy schedules to attend my Open House.  Hopefully, they have all received their cards by now.  This is what I came up with.  This also fits the PPA21 Theme Challenge found here

The card base is Whisper White card stock.

Moving forward is a layer of Brushed Gold card stock.  Next is a piece of the most elegant Specialty Paper called Bride.  In each package there are two designs.  You get five 12" x 12" sheets of each of the two designs!  It is gorgeous and is currently my absolute favorite paper.  I love it!  A strip of Brushed Gold is added next and Whisper White Organza Ribbon is layered onto this strip*.  This segment is attached to the card base using Mini Glue Dots in the corners and SNAIL adhesive along the sides.  I used the glue dots because the papers and layers create a little more weight than usual.

The image is the stamp called Dasher.  This comes as an individual stamp.  I used Versamark to stamp him on Whisper White card stock.  I used Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and the Heat Tool to create an embossed image.  I dabbed the antlers with the 2 Way Glue Pen and added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  I also added some Glitter along the bottom for a snowy look.  This is layered on Brushed Gold card stock and added to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I hope they like it!!  I love it.  You have to see the Bride Specialty paper in real life to appreciate it's beauty.

* Tip:  In an effort to conserve ribbon and eliminate frustration, I have begun to simply adhere a piece of ribbon just long enough to wrap to the back about 1/2" on each side.  Then, take another piece of ribbon about 4-1/2-5" and slip under the strip of ribbon and tie a single knot.  It is so much easier than trying to wrap a piece of ribbon all the way around the card stock, and then get it tight enough so you can tie a knot.  Try this next time you want to add some ribbon to your project.
