Red Velvet Christmas Card

Hi everyone!  Today's card is a pretty red and white card It looks plain when you first glance at it but look closer and see the detail!

Materials:

• card base - white
• red suede paper
• Martha Stewart punch
• Gold border dazzles by hot off the press
• embossing folder (I used an ornate rose pattern)

First of all, don't you like the Martha Stewart border punch?  It comes with a corner for punch around the page and its a large design.  I love the swirls and snowflakes.

I embossed the red suede paper and then added it to my card.  (So, the inside of my card will not show any embossing).  Suede paper embosses really well and creates  crisp, clean images and lines.

Here is a close up of the embossing. There seems to be a little white fluff but its not on the card.

 

To create my edge, I punched it with the border punch, then added a plain piece of red velvet underneath.  You cant see it but I did add a gold dazzle about 1.8 inch above that red velvet piece.
If you look at the card you will also see a gold border dazzle on the front next to the punched design.

Thanks for stopping by. COme agaian for more Christmas card inspiration!

Christmas Greetings Card

 

 

This Christmas card is really bright! The silver foil card stock really shines! 

I am sure that you recognize the Tim Holtz dies that I used (the sentiment and the pine branch).  This year was so exciting because of the number of dies in each package.  He really designed a lot of words.  I love the play between block and script too!

Materials:

• Frantic Stamper Dies (Snowflakes)
• Tim Holtz Dies
• Silver Foil Card stock
• Red card stock (poppy by Neenah in the Linen line - love this line of card stock. I use it almost exclusively for my cards)
• green, gold, blue glitter card
• red foil card
• red suede paper (for the word "Christmas")

The card is actually pretty easy to make.  The only step that I want to mention is the sentiment.

Steps:
1. I took the Greeting die and placed it on my silver foil card.  I kept it in place with a tiny bit of tape.
2. I ran it through my cuttlebug and die cut the word into my silver foil card. ( When I attach the solver foil to my card base, the red of the card base will show through)
3. I used red suede paper and the Christmas script word die to die cut the word Christmas.
4. I attached the silver oil to my card base
5. I adhered the word Christmas onto my card as you see in the pictures.

 

 

 Its very cool!
