A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

"U" is for "Upon"

A card for the ABC Christmas Challenge where this month, we have to choose either "U is for Upon" or "V is for Very Quick".  I went with the first one and used an appropriate sentiment stamp that I really like.


I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in dark red.  The star wreath is cut from gold glitter paper and just manages to fit around the sentiment.  I trimmed the panel with a stitched square die cut, bordered it with dark red shimmer cs, and popped it up on a cream card base.

Thanks for stopping by today!





Supplies:
Stamps - Kay Foley sentiment
Ink - Versafine Crimson Red
Paper - gold glitter, dark red shimmer, and cream cs
Size - 5.25" square
Accessories - Memory Box Starry Wreath, Lil Inker stitched square die, Ranger Polysparkle clear embossing powder, fun foam
