Hello bloggers! I have a simple but elegant Christmas card to share with you today. I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the
Stylized Poinsettia embossing folder. Next I used the
Decorative Holly Acent set and cut several of the holly fronds out of
Khaki card. I attached them to each side of the card from the top centre point. I nipped apart pieces off of a second set to add in towards the top. I added red berries to all of the holly sprays using the extra die in the set. Next I covered a piece of red card with a
sticky adhesive sheet and peeled the backing off and coated it with
Ruby Slipper Holographic Glitterbitz. I cut the bow and the tails from the set out of them for a nice clean line and attached them at the top of the holly sprigs. I cut the
Warm and Cosy Christmas sentiment out of
antique gold card twice and stacked them then added one cut out of
gold mirror card as a shadow. I glued it into the open area between the holly sprays. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now Sue x
Beautiful card and sentiment Sue xx Hazrl

Hi Sue. This looked so pretty on screen from your kitchen lol and this is just one reason I need this set, batch makes and gorgeous cards is what we can look forward to with these dies, who doesn't need a quick card at times at that bow - use anytime. I know Donna will love this, it was her favourite at launch I think lol.

ReplyDeleteHello Sue, a gorgeous card, love the traditional colours, very elegant. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and everyone, as Steph said this was my favourite on launch. It is absolutely stunning, I just live everything about it. I am definitely going to pick this up and the embossing folder too. There was another embossing folder that I loved also so I will keep my eye open for that ond too. I'm still scared to go anywhere since being ill with Covid, but as soon as I pluck up courage to go to my local craft shop it will be falling into my basket. I'm so lucky that they stock lots of your products 😍 I'm loving the glitter bits too. Stay safe everyone hugs Donna xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue

Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't commented for a while, but spent a couple of days flat on my back. So feeling a little better, I have been catching up on your recent posts. Living those polishes that you used yesterday and the red glitterblitz is lush. Want to start my Christmas cards but patience is a virtue, so I'm told.
Take care everyone and have a good weekend. Hugs xxx Pauline
