Christmas Blessings

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your emails to the show yesterday. Sorry that there was no 2pm show - out of our control. Lovely to see so many of you taking part in the blog hop. It's running till Tuesday afternoon so there's still time to take part. The start point is here.

I'll post some Christmas cards for a few days and then mix it up with some cards from last Sunday's Toolshed. I've popped my samples from yesterday's shows on Facebook here. The only one that's not on there is the one on the Blog Hop.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Poinsettia Lullaby Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I popped a little Gold Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint onto my Craft Sheet. I picked some up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and rubbed over the embossed surface.

I stamped the bottom panel from the Joy to the World Stamp using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out around the outer frame.

I cut a couple of the Spellbinders Adorning Squares Dies out of Vintage Gold Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expessions Winter Greetings Stamp Set. again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles Two Die. I cut the die again out of Vintage Gold Card, which I then cut in half lengthways and glued it behind the sentiment panel offsetting it slightly.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Champagne Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Crystal Sparkle PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
