Winter Holiday Pals Hop

Stampin up cute christmas duo big shot Everybody "hop" for dashing holiday projects!  My Stampin' Pretty Pals and I have prepared a delightful hop, abundant with projects created with Stampin' Up! Products. I'm stop #5 on the hop.  The complete hop line up is at the end of this post!  The next stop on the hop is Martha Stewart's blog.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:  Basic Jewels Rhinestones (stick-on convenience–love it) really put the sparkle in this winter wonderland card!  I used a Hobby Blade and Cutting Mat to "cut a wave" on the Brushed Silver card stock.

  4. Hi Adelle:

    Honestly, I just press firmly with the hobby blade (with my cutting mat beneath) and slowly work a curve into the card stock. Try a few times with some scratch paper. It’s easier than you might think.

    Hugs, M

  10. I have never done the “wave”. Do you mark your curve with a pencil before you do it? How do you get it looking so perfect? Thanks for your wonderful blog. I read it every day. Your cards are beautiful.
