Elegance At Christmas


I wanted to create a simply, stunning but elegant Christmas card this time.  Inspiration was purely and simply from some new dies that I had purchased recently.  The card used is Creative Expressions Foundation cardstock.  Creative Expressions Textured Scored Line 8x8 embossing folder. Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops to form pearls.  Creative Expressions Craft Dies by Sue Wilson Festive Collection - Rustic Twig Wreath, Frames and Tags - Madeleine, Frames and Tags - Stitched Flags.

Modern Christmas


One of my aims for this year was to create some cards using backing papers that I have already and then from their work backwards for colour and design.  I have used Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops (Copper Penny) to form pearls.  I have used Tonic Studios Jewelled Crown Double Detail Die Set and Stencil, Tonic Studios The Holly and The Ivy Simply Screens Die set to create a fancy edge to the backing paper, and, Tonic Studios Merry Christmas Double Banner stamp and die set for the greeting which has been embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Dark Gold embossing powder.

Finishing Touches - Cape Daisy, Frames and Tags - Stitched Flags, Shadow Box Collection - Stitched Lattice Frames, Christmas Blessings.  I have also used Pixie Powders to create the coloured background and then self adhesive paper over the top and infilled with Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels.
