Pine Sprig Lever Card

Good morning friends

OMGoodness, I love this card. I can't even tell you how many times I picked it up and looked (ok, admired) it before I got the photos taken and the card put in the Christmas Card bin. The patterned paper is very subtle looking in the photos, but in real life is is bright white with champagne foil printing. It catches and shines in the light - it's just beautiful stuff!


This Cricut cut embellishment was in my bin - I have had them done for years - the shadow layer is a pretty copper foil card stock, and I cut the JOY from champagne card stock for even more glam.


I used the Lever Card die set from Our Daily Bread Designs, but wanted to try it without the coordinating Layer die set. It could have gone either way, looking too plain or looking too busy, OR even been too 'wussy' without the layers. But this patterned paper was just perfect - it's nice and sturdy but not bulky. It also went together in record time!


In the photo below you get a hint of all the sparkle and shine in this pretty patterned paper.


I have the remaining piece of this patterned paper and I'm very tempted to whip up another identical holiday Lever Card. On the other hand, it might be perfect to use with Karen Burniston's House Pivot Panels as well. Ahhh the decisions a crafter must make. Ha!

Supplies:
Patterned paper - Stampin' Up
Foil card stock - Stampin' Up
Lever Card base die set - Our Daily Bread Designs
Joy die - Taylored Expressions
Merry Christmas stamp - Simon Says Stamp
