Happy Always, Merry Everything ~ Interfaith Design Finale

My 2011 Interfaith Collection (c) Susan Gentile

Here it is ~ my entire collection of Interfaith Card designs!  My mother mentioned needing a few interfaith holiday cards, and since I was so pleased with how the others came out, I guess you could say I "went-wild."

Snow Swirled & Shalom sets

The card stock to the left is Real Red & Crumb cake.
Ink: Riding Hood Red, VersaMark (silver embossing powder), and Cherry Cobbler. Ribbon is Real Red.

Sahara Sand, Pacific Coast, Artichoke Green

I like the below design because it's Patriotic in colors. Pacific Blue, Cherry Cobbler & Confetti White card stock and inks. :)  

Let there Be Light & Deck the Halls

Merry Everything, Happy Always ~ 2

 

Another interfaith holiday card design.  I just might have my card for next year!.  Both of these Stampin' Up! sets are retired; i chose images that were based on being the same size.  Sets:  Deck the Halls and Let There Be Light.

Merry Everything, Happy Always

I'm not sure if you can see both images... I need a Merry Christmas-Happy Hanukkah card so am playing with designs.  This is the tree from Snow Swirled, and the new Shalom stamp from Stampin' Up!  I'll share the others as I discover them.  :)

My wonderful, creative 11 year-old-son, Jake, decided to investigate my peculiar heat gun behavior a few nighs ago... and when he got close he experienced his 1st card making "WOW" when the embossing powder began to melt then lift into that incredible raised silver image.  I was thrilled that he asked to try & let him do his own thing. Jake did something I hadn't thought to do in years... 

Jakey-Inspired

        He used VersaMark and CLEAR embossing powder!  VersaMark is a clear ink that makes images a shade darker than the card stock they're stamped on. I create alot of my background paper that way; see the above Shalom (star) above? The dreidels are made stamping into VersaMark instead of a regular ink pad.  I love the subtle effect, and quickly threw together a few spin-offs of my own.

Changing ink colors can have a big impact
