Petals-A-Plenty Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (Stampin' Up!
Holiday Mini Catalog) is responsible for the gorgeous texture on the Close to Cocoa card stock.- I used the Circle Scissor Plus to cut the 3" Very Vanilla circle for the center. This tool allows me to cut the exact size circle and layers I need in tiny increments from 1" up to 6".
- A sponge dabbed in Close to Cocoa Classic Ink gives a rich finish to the edges.
- Stampin' Up! Craft Ink has an amazing attribute . . . it's sticky
enough to be heat embossed. I stamped Dasher in Close to Cocoa Craft
Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This adds shine,
dimension and polish. - A Stamp-a-ma-jig assisted me in precisely placing the stamp on the 3" circle.
- Give your holiday cards a fresh and modern appeal. Cameo Coral adds a whopping dose of splash to Mellow Moss and Close to Cocoa.

LOVE the color combo!
Dasher is SO dashing. 🙂
Nice! Very pretty!
I saw your sample card on the Mojo Monday site and had to leave you a message telling you how much I like it. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a fabulous combination and great interpretation of the Mojo Monday layout! Dasher is just the cutest little thing with so many possibilities. Terrific job as always. Your creativity is way above my imagination. Great attention to detail ~ that’s you!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
Mary, this is just stunning. I love your color choices and the look of the textured CS with the dry embossed panels. Beautiful!
Dasher is so elegant, what you did with the background just enhances the focal point. Love your colors.
I received my circle cutter late because I procrasted about getting it. Hope I can learn how to use it now.
Thanks for sharing Mary.
Dashing! Great color combo.
Hi Colleen:
I saw a similar color combo at a paint store . . . that’s where I got the idea for the splash of Cameo Coral. Glad you liked it.
Hugs,
M
So pretty, Mary! Love Dasher!
Gorgeous and the colors are beautiful together!
Love your card. Beautiful colors and details.
Great card. I really like the color combo, not one I would have thought to use but it is so pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Mary, your card is beautiful!!! Love the details… and the close ups. I don’t take them well, my learning curve isn’t expanding. *smile*
Wow this card turned out great!
Very pretty Mary!
Hmmm, love the plum banner. That dasher is dashing with his embossed coat of fur. Love it. Did you use a few pieces of Close to Cocoa to get that front? Great color combo.
Dasher is definitely a dashing fellow! Love how you used Cameo Coral with this.
Love this card, Mary! Dasher is one of my favorite stamps, and I love how you embossed him!
