A mini-album Christmas Card! This is totally out of my comfort zone, but I sure did have fun making this project! The paper is from DCWV "Warm Winter Wishes", the stamp set is from Recollections, and the tree and card shape is from Cricut Cartridge "Joys of the Season". The crinkle ribbon is a gift from Shelia, The Sassy Lady!
The title "Oh, Holy Night" is stamped and heat embossed on a clear plastic sheet. The next page is the Three Wise Men as they make their journey East following the Star.
The Wise Men are suppose to be going East, but the stamp set had them heading West! So, I got to use my "Mirrow Image Stamp" for the very first time! It worked beautifully!!
I inked the stamp with "Watermark" ink, pressed the stamp on the rubber side of the "Mirror Image Stamp", then stamped the clear Vellum. The image was almost as perfect as the original!
I used gold embossing powder and heat set the image on the Vellum.
More heat embossed images from the Recollections set. I added a few trees from a paper punch and a "Merry Christmas" sentiment using outline stickers.
The final stamp from the Recollections set is heat embossed. The printed sentiment is from a "Papercraft" magazine. I left space for comments and a signature.
Merry Christmas to all!

Like the mini album. Especially like the gold heat embossing. I have the stamp set and a Mirror Image Rubber stamp. You've inspired me to use both soon. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

That was stunning, Carolyn! I can't remember the last time I've heat-embossed something in a long time! Thanks for the inspiration.
