The Stampin' Schach Design Tips: It's All About the Details
The finished card measures 5-1/2" wide by 4-1/4" long.- Icy Brocade! The new Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder becomes an icy confection when treated to a dusting of Dazzling Diamonds! It forms the perfect backdrop for a watercolored pair of skates. A trio of Basic Pearls add a touch of elegance.
- Warm woodgrain! Early Espresso Core'dinations Card Stock is the perfect partner for the new Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This look was achieved without sanding.
- Tulle and lace! Try layering the new Scalloped Tulle Ribbon over Victoria Crochet Trim for a unique look!
- Cut and curl! Paper piercing adds that "little something extra" to the "Warm Winter Wishes" sentiment. Flag one end and curl the other for a sentiment that is out of the ordinary.
(Stay tuned for my Convention Adventures...My "broken Internet" is scheduled to be fixed today! There are few things worse than to come home from Convention only to find that you have no way to share it! "I am...frustrated!")

This is a great card. I need to try that new card stock. Perhaps today! I am still trying to get organized from convention. It is very frustrating when the computer/internet isn't working. Hope you have it up and running soon. How are your "babies". I imagine Muffy is happier now!
Warm and wonderful!
I love this card and the Stamp Set.
Hope you are rested from the convention and have gotten lots of love to your furbabies(and vice versa)!
Mmmmm...love this vintage take on the sketch. The skates are so sweet hanging from that embossed circle.
Ann, This is such a rich warm card. I am loving the skates! The new embossing folders are beautiful. Can't wait to get some of the tulle!
Funny isn't it, how lost we are without our internet? Hope it is fixed soon!
Beautiful card once again Ann.
Really gives off that warm, cozy feel to it. Real country charm no doubt about it

Ann, I love it! Rich, warm, elegant, beautiful!
I do love the new embossing folders. I used the woodgrain folder the other day on a card. I am amazed with the deep design we get from SU embossing folders. Thanks!
Ann this is GORGEOUS! Those skates are my favorite stamp in the whole set...I'll probably buy just for that stamp.
I LOVE how you did the tulle and lace.. so cool and the core dinations papers looks fabulous with the woodgrain. Wowzer! Love love this card.
PS: Sorry about your internet problems ... hate when that happens.
I'm off to my annual gal pals golf weekend... so won't be around, but can't wait to see your convention news when I return. I did see a few photos of you on other blogs and looked like everyone had a blast!
Hugs
This is wonderful, Ann! Love how warm and country-ish it is! Now I see how much I need to get that wood grain EF, what fabulous texture! I hope your internet is up and running soon, it's amazing how much we rely on it! I hope the furbabies did well while you were gone and I'm sure all of them were very happy to see their Mommy!
I love all the detail and it really makes the card have a winter woodsy feel. TFS!
Welcome home! The tulle and lace look gorgeous together. Love the glitter on the lacy EF. So happy to see your signature pearls on the cute image.
Hi Ann, welcome home! No internet, that stinks! I really miss mine when it is out but it does make us appreciate it when it comes back on. I just love this cozy Christmas card! It has a nice woodsey cabin feel to it, like you could grab those skates and glide on the frozen pond outside. I just love it! The two new embossing folders are beautiful. I love how you added the sparkle to the lacy one and the woodgrain one looks so natural. I bet Kim and the furry children were very happy to see you come home! Looking forward to seeing your highlights when your back up and running.
Love these rich colors together and the great card design
I can't wait for those embossing folders to be available for us.
Icy Brocade--just stunning. Adding the dazzeling diamonds is brilliant! Love all the detail work including the pearls--just the perfect added touch. Dar
Hi Ann! I love all the wonderful textures in your card! Sorry about your internet problems - I totally understand your frustration! I look forward to hearing about the convention. Have a great day!
Hey, good to hear from you. And, yes, I do like the new card, even if ice-skating here is virtually unknown. I'm glad you're back, and I can't wait to hear about your trip. I saw some pictues on FB.
Ann, your card is beautiful with all the new products, ribbon, embossing folder. How did you apply the glitter to the embossing? Would love to know. I am still trying to get rested up from convention. It was oh, so much fun.
SO wonderful! The level of detail on the ice skates is WONDERFUL!!!
And I used the same words twice - SHEESH!!!
wow everything screams *perfect* on this card; how did you get the silver details on the e.f. & coordinations c.s? I think I know, but my idea's long & drawn out...amazing how internet has us as hostages!! I'd LUV to be a receptant of your design(s), as I've never been privileged to get one; glad you're home w/the babes..
Ann...your card is beautiful! I love it! You did fabulously colouring those skates!! Sorry about the broken internet. I don't know how I'd survive!!! Glad to hear you had fun at convention! My goal is to be there next year to meet you all!!!!
Yes! I love both of the folders! And, I was trying to decide if I wanted those skates and now I SURELY do. Next order! I have a special ice skates memory from childhood, so I love the image. Thanks, Ann! Inspiring as always :-)
Wow!~!!!! Would I love to live in your creative head for even 5 minutes Ann!!!!
Such a beautiful card, Ann! I loved the way that you combined so many different elements to make such a lovely cohesive design. Just gorgeous. How are your babies? I know that they were as glad to see you as you were to seem them. Have you explained kunbenchin to Lexi yet? Thanks for sharing your talents so generously with us! Janice Eastes
I love all of the textures in your card, stunning creation!
Great card Ann. Waiting for my order with the new folders but I think I am going to like the wood grain. So many possibilities. I'll bet the pups were happy to see you come through the front door!!
Gorgeous, Ann! I adore the different textures you used on this warm winter wishes card!
I enjoyed seeing your smiling face on the stage at Convention! Congrats, my friend!
I know you are trying to cool us off with the thought of ice skating! In this heat, the Internet probably was fried! Gorgeous card with all those terrific details.

this is a beautiful card Ann-love all the texture-the new efs are gorgeous-the tulle and lace combo is fab-I love it all!!
I was a little unsure about the whole Core-dinations cardstock thing until I saw this. I love the subtle cracked look the Woodgrain EF creates. And the Dazzling Diamonds really make a wonderful backdrop for the little skates. Just a wonderful, warm card all around!
Such a pretty card Ann, and those colours are lovely, rich and warm ...love the embossing behind the skates and love love that tulle ... oh, can't wait till we get it!
Texture and depth and touchable elements are why I stamp and make cards, and yours excels in all ways. Love it! As far as new embossing folders--yay!
Your card makes me anxious for Winter! I'm tired of the heat here in Southern Illinois and no rain! I love your card! It makes me think of being in a rustic cabin with a frozen pond near by! I love that thought! :)
Don't you just love the Core-dinations CS?! I started buying this particular CS about a year ago. I love, love your card and all it's embellishments! AWESOME!
I knew you'd get that new card stock! It's wonderful here! Love your extra sparkle and that touch of tulle!
great use of this sketch and what a perfect coloring job on the skates.
hugs, m
Beautiful card! Just love the texture of the new wood grain embossing folder. So warm. Love the way you incorporated the tull and lace.
Oh my! So beautiful! The Lacy Brocade is gorgeous when dusted with glitter. Perfect backdrop for those wintry skates.
This is so inspired, Ann! The little details are so, so lovely!!
Gorgeous! I love every aspect of this card! Thanks for sharing!
