Whew – Labor Day! How’s it going for you? Our dog got me up extra early this AM – before 4… and I’m draggy, didn’t get my post completed when I wanted to – but can’t blame him for that! Hope YOUR day is going well. My card today features the Christmas Barn Bundle PLUS the fabulous Split Card Textures Dies – both new to me. I also used another new product for me… the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint. Now THAT item takes a bit of getting used to. I couldn’t seem to make a thin enough ‘ribbon’ of Puff Paint, but I’ll share the card anyway.

The DSP in the background is the Painted Christmas DSP, a carryover from last year. I love it! Can you see the Puff Paint? I should have taken a couple of close-up photos. The line near the bottom is pretty good, and under the trees is OK. I DON’T like it on the trees :O( For one thing, it absorbed some of the green from stamping the tree. Who knew? Live & learn. Do you like the snowflakes though? They are from the Barn Dies – three sizes, just small. The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Christmas Barn stamp set. And the sleigh… so cute. I couldn’t really decide what colors to use: Bronze for the sleigh, Lt. Cherry Cobbler for the blanket and the drivers hat; Lt. Soft Suede for the horse with a bit of Color Lifter for contrast; Lt Basic Black for the main & tail; Lt Evening Evergreen for the other hat and Light Smoky Slate for the trousers. After coloring, this was die cut with the coordinating Barn Dies. The trees were stamped in Garden Green from the Christmas Barn stamp set and die cut with the Barn Dies. They were adhered with liquid glue while the sleigh & its passengers were mounted on dimensionals. What else, that may be it for the card front.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Barn stamp set, stamped in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. The wreath was stamped in Garden Green ink, then Lt Real Red Stampin’ Blends was used to color the pretty bow. I also covered the bow in Wink of Stella. I know you can’t see it here, but I did.

For the envelope, more of the same Painted Christmas DSP for the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. For the front, this super sweet wreath was again stamped in Garden Green ink and colored with the Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends. Done!
Now here’s the thing… I SHOULD HAVE posted a card using one of the Perfect Partners for today. After all, it’s Sep. 5 and this weeks ‘deals’ only go through Sep 7. But I didn’t. I will give more information below about the Weekly Deals & the Perfect Partners stamps/ dies. :O)
