Hand Stamped Sentiments #85- Impress Us

Hi there! Happy Terrific Tuesday to you! This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we are asking you to IMPRESS us...using an embossing folder, embossing powder, or a letterpress plate, create any card or 3D project. 
For my card, I looked to a big ol' box of NEW stamping goodies that just arrived at my doorstep! Hooray for the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog...FINALLY! I used the  Comfort & Joy stamp set, the Snow Burst embossing folder, Pewter Embossing Powder, Early Espresso 3/8" Quilted Satin ribbon, Silver Glimmer Paper and the Letters to Santa DSP. Good Grief, I got crazy with "Holiday Mini-Madness" on this one! Haha! That's what happens when you get new stampin' treats, I guess! :) 


Seriously...the Glimmer Paper is NOT done any justice in these photos. It is FABULOUS and guess what? You can change it up to ANY color with a simple Sponge Dauber and some Classic ink OR a Classic Re-inker and an Aqua Painter. VERY versatile... I already know I will be buying a lot of this paper. 
Finally, here is the finished inside of the card. I just love this stamp set! Simply pretty and so perfect for the holidays! 
Thanks for popping by! Please check out what the rest of the Hand Stamped Sentiments Design Team has created this week and please play along with your impressed and embossed creations. Enjoy the day today! :)
