Hello crafters! The first card is a pretty traditional Christmas card done in a soft silver and white theme. I started by embossing a piece of silver card with the
Let It Snow embossing folder. I cut three of the
Christmas Greetings Tree in white and used spray glue to stack them all together. I glued them to the embossed background, then cut a frame from the
Ornate Pierced Rectangle Noble die set to fit around it. I added a second outer frame to give it a bit of a detailed edge to the frame. I added mounting foam to the frame and attached it over the tree, trimming away any excess card from the background. I added small
3mm white pearls to the embossed snowflake centres behind the tree. I used the
Filigree Poinsettia die set to create several flowers in silver and added them in opposite corners of the card as accents. I used
8mm white pearls for the flower centres. I finished the card by adding a white pierced mat, a thin silver mat and another white mat layer. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
Card number two is more of an unusual colour combo for Christmas with it's navy blue and gold theme, but I think it works a treat. I started by embossing a piece of
French Navy card with the
Star Swirls embossing folder. I cut it in half and rubbed
Enchanted gold gilding wax to half of it. I then sprayed that piece with
spray adhesive and coated it with
Diamond Sprinkles glitter. I cut both pieces into small squares and added mounting foam to their backs. I arranged them on to another piece of gold card, leaving a small gap between them. For the focal element, I cut the
Lattice Snowflake die in
French Navy card. I backed it with gold card and added a frame over it cut from gold card as well. I stamped my sentiment and cut it with the centre oval and raised it with foam and added it to the centre of the
Lattice snowflake die. I attached it in the centre of the card. I used milk card for the base and paper pierced the first mat, added a thin gold and blue mat and a final milk mat layer to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. How are your Christmas cards coming along?? All for now, Sue x
