Christmas...a card

Hi everyone!

 

Today's card is using a new discovery for me in paper.  It's called satin finish (I'm sure that I'm the only one who didn't know about this...LOL)  I hope you get an idea of what this beautiful paper looks like (actually its card stock).  The finish is a brushed satin/shimmer look but without the sparkle of shimmer paper.  The color and finish remind me of the same on glass Christmas ornaments (not the shiny ones).

 

 

I made this card for a stamping friend of mine.

 

Items used:

• Create and Craft Satin Board (comes in a package of 30 - click HERE)
• Bold Colors in blue, red and gold
• White card stock for the card base
• Tattered Lace snowy corner die
• Hot off the Press Paper Artist Dies -Christmas ornament and word
• Bow - Anna Griffin (from a kit I have)
• Bo Bunny blue crystals

Here's a look at the corner die cut (sorry for the blurry image).  I added blue gems to the snowflake centers.  I love the distressed look it has.

Here is the ornament.  I cut out the ornament and then glued it onto the red satin board and cut it out.  Then I foam tape mounted it onto my card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Gatefold Card

Today's card is a gatefold card (5.5 x5.5).  I glued the front panel on one side only.

 

 

 

Items used:

• Kaiserkraft patterned paper (Christmas lines this year)
• Sentiment from Hunkydory
• Red Glossy card
• White shimmer card, embossed
• White card for card base
• Stickles in two shades of blue and silver
• Silver Linen card from hot off the Press (gotta love this card stock)
• Blue Glitter embossing powder (WOW in Nice Ice Blue)
• (Bow is from a Martha Stewart kit I had)

This is a good picture of the glitter glue I added on to of the pine bough images.  I also added silver glitter glue for snowflakes.

Here is the embossed sentiment.  I love the blue glitter embossing powder.  Click HERE if you want to get it.  (They also have one called Pink Fizz and its just as beautiful.)
