Holiday Cards 2014 – Day 14

By Cards

Hi All,

Welcome to another day of holiday cards!

christmas_ornament

Today’s card is VERY dimensional and ornate. This card features 2 coordinating patterned papers & a gold embellishment from an entirely different collection. In order to pull the 2 together, I maintained a leaf pattern and made sure it wasn’t too busy. To finish off the card I tied some ribbon behind the embellishment to give it the look of a hanging ornament.

This is a great project for card-makers who have many leftover cuts from other projects and would like to create using ‘leftovers’.

By Cards

Hi All,

Welcome to Day 13!

christmas_gold_foil

I’m back with another look of gold foil on a greeting card. I love how it brightens up these ‘flat’ patterns and gives a whole lot of dimension to the card. To achieve the gold foil look on the sentiment I heat embossed the sentiment with Glam Gold embossing powder.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Recollections Bkack 8.5 x 11 (cut to create A2 size card)

Papers: DCWV Christmas Collection

Stamp: Simon Says Stamp – Be Joyful

Embossing: Versamark Ink & Inkadinkado – Glam Gold powder

Misc: Powder Tool and adhesives

Holiday Cards 2014 – Day 12

By Cards

Hi all,

Happy Monday! BONUS CARD DAY!

nutcrackers

These cheesy grinning nutcrackers are on a white vellum background that is double layered to make a more of an opaque background. The sentiment is heat embossed using a starlight silver embossing powder. Each nutcracker features gold glittered elements for added interest and coordinates with the others. And for some added interest I included a red and white rolled twine.

Supplies:

Card Base: Bazzil Frost White

Vellum: Paper Place white vellum

Stamp: TPC Studio

Embossing Ink: Versamark Clear with Inkadinkado Starlight Silver embossing powder

Twine: Craft Basics – Red/White

Nutcrackers: Meri Meri with added embellishments

Holiday Cards 2014 – Day 11

By Cards

Hi all,

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend & are ready for the home stretch to the holiday card series!

holiday_cheer

For today’s card I used a beautiful gold foil embossed bird pattern as my background and quality card stock for the banner to create my sentiment. The sentiment was heat embossed using gold embossing powder and reads “Wishing you were near so I’m sending Holiday Cheer.” To accent the banner and give it some extra ‘pop’ of color I added a gold metallic band to the top and bottom of the purple piece. I must say, this card has some major SHINE factor in person (I tried my best to interpret that in the photo). This one will definitely be a design I send out in the mail this year!

Supplies:

Card stock: Neenah environmental card stock in desert storm

Papers: My Minds Eye – Lost & Found Christmas, Thomaspaul – gold foil

Stamp: Simon Says Stamp – Merry Everything

Heat Embossing: Versamark clear, Inkadinkado – glam gold, heat gun

Marker: Metallic Marker by American Crafts in Gold (62221)

Misc: Adhesives & Tape Runner
