Welcome to Valley Oak Paper
I design handmade greeting cards.
Have a Norse Yule
I stamped YULE and the Norse greeting with Versamark and used Lumberjack Plaid Embossing Powder to heat emboss them. Then I cut out the license plate with the die. I used a heat embossing pen around the edges of the license plate and heat embossed them with Ranger Verdigris Embossing Powder.
Arctic Treat Box
For the box, I’m using a Sizzix die set called Seasonal House Gift Box. It creates a super cute mini milk carton.
Birthday bears
The mama bear and her cub are from a Sizzix die set by Lisa Jones. It’s called Nature Friends and also includes a bunny, a hedgehog and a badger.
Coloring koalas with alcohol markers
The main feature of these two cards are from the Spellbinders Playful Koalas stamp and die set. I stamped the koalas, birds and greenery in Memento Rich Cocoa. This is a solvent-based dye ink that enables you to color stamped images with alcohol markers.
Vellum cards and envelopes
Vellum is tricky, because glue will show through it. There are a couple of different strategies for getting around this.
