JOY!

Items used:

• Red striped card stock for card base
• red crinkle ribbon
• various die cuts from Tim Holtz Christmas ephemera
• silver glitter paper (Hunkydory)
• red gems (Bo Bunny)
• Gold Foil Rub Ons from Tim Holtz
• Joy - From Kaiserkraft

I don't use rub ons normally because they don't seem to work out for me BUT these gold and silver ones are wonderful!  It kind of fooled me initially because of the white background.  Only the gold or silver is rubbed on though.

 

Another look:

I decided to make my focal go off the page to the left and trimmed it. I stuck some ephemera undr the right side.

Enjoy!

Season's Greetings! a card

Hi everyone!

I've been working on my Christmas cards (finally). 

Items used:

• white card stock for card base
• red shimmer paper
• white translucent vellum with silver sparkles on it
• Embossing folder from Hot off the Press
• acetate and gold foiled snowflakes
• red crystal - Bo Bunny

I found some vellum in my stash that had silver glitter embedded on the vellum (not in it).  I also found some with red and blue so you'll be seeing that too.

I embossed the vellum and used the Sizzix repositionable glue sheet to back my vellum.  I added it to some red shimmer paper.  I had to rub the vellum somewhat to get a consistent color to come through.  I made sure not to rub off the sparkles!

I added two layers of snowflakes and a gem and done!

Thanks for stopping by!

Two Christmas Cards out of the ordinary

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share two Christmas cards that I made with Hunkydory's new collection call Enchanted Dreams.  They are out of the ordinary for Christmas cards.  I hope you enjoy them.

Christmas Leopard:

The picture doesn't do it justice. The colors are very vibrant red in person with pinks mixed in. One of the mats is also a variegated pink.


This is a close up of the kitty!

These are the layers I made for my card.  The foiled gold layer is embossed.

Christmas Ox:

 

This card is much ore the deeper rich red of Christmas.

Here is a lose up of the ox.  I love the house on his back.

The layers I used.

Thanks and hope you enjoyed these unusual cards.
