Hey there! Today is our annual "Payne girls" Christmas shopping trip! I'm heading out to meet everyone (even though these days I'm the only one with the Payne last name!) in just a few,  but before I go I wanted to share with you the first of the last two projects I created for the Creative Crew over on Splitcoaststampers!

For this challenge we were to create a card with the "Winter Wonderland" theme, starting with a CAS (Clean and Simple) card, and then a stepped-up version. Today I'm sharing my CAS card with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Season Like Christmas stamp set:

I embossed a layer of Soft Sky multiple times with the Winter Wonder Folder, then gently sponged with Soft Sky ink.

A single pearl adorns the center.

I heat embossed the greeting from Season Like Christmas with white powder and my heat tool

I wanted this project to have a bit of a "shabby chic" look, so I roughed up the edges of the layer with the side of my Paper Snips, then sponged more Soft Sky ink.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Season Like Christmas with Dapper Denim ink, then stamped snowflakes from Tags & Trimmings with Soft Sky ink.
