Hi Bloggers.
Just before I share today's card, I wanted to let you know that I have an extra show this week. It's on Tuesday at 2pm and it's the Heartfelt Creations Christmas Stamps and dies that Sue launched at CHA last week.
Here's today's card - a real quickie Christmas Card.
For the background, I used a piece of Milk Card. I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Snowflake Frame Mask. I highlighted the embossed areas with Golden Light and Deep Red Gilding Wax and then edged the whole piece with Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany Distress Ink Pads using Cut n Dry Foam.
I popped some DS Adhesive onto some card and die cut a Spellbinders Labels 22. I peeled off the backing and rubbed some Fire Red Polished Silk Glitter into it. I stamped the Santa from the Justrite Christmas Labels 22 Stamp Set using Pergect medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Berry Red Aurora Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Three Dies and inked through the die with Fired Brick.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Berry Red Aurora. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four Dies and inked through the die with Fired Brick.
I tied a bow using Burgundy/Ivory Striped Grosgrain and added an Idea-ology Noel Christmas Adornment.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteWonderful card today. I have the snowflake frame mask but yet to use it! Must get to starting making my non- kit from scratch cards for Christmas soon. I've lost my crafting mojo but your posts help get me in the mood for crafting again.
I look forward to your show despite being broke!
I can window shop and add to my wish list.
Best wishes from Katie-Louise
