I love Christmas and make quite a few different cards, so I thought I'd share three of them with you today. The first one was inspired by this video Gina did on Stamp TV. I changed up the colors but used the same embossing technique. The card base is GKD Pure Luxury Kraft layered with Pure Luxury Cherry. The patterned paper is some old Stampin' Up that I had from a couple of Christmases ago. The stamps are from the Stamp TV kit set called Merry Little Christmas. I stamped the Fa La La with Memento Rhubarb Stalk, clear embossed the trees and went over them with Memento Toffee Crunch. The sentiment is also stamped with Rhubarb Stalk and sponged with Toffee Crunch. A fairly straightforward card but one of my favorites of the bunch I made this year. Note that I try to keep embellishments to a minimum on these cards so they mail more easily.
This card was made using GKD Pure Luxury Pure White base weight layered with patterned paper from the GKD patterned paper pack "Blizzard." Then I layered with another piece of white that had been die cut and embossed with the Edgelits and Textured Impressions "Adorning Accents" from SU. The stamp set is Simple Snowflakes that I stamped using Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Festive Berries and Iced Spruce. On either side of the red strip I used 1/8" scor tape that I covered with glitter to add some bling. I love it that by using clear stamps I could curve the text along the embossing line!
Finally, another quick and simple card, this time using the Holiday Tags set. The card base is Pure Luxury Red Hot and the patterned paper is again some old SU I had in my stash. I stamped the little figures in Memento black and did minimal coloring with Copics. The snowflakes and tag were stamped with Vivid ink in Brick and the sentiment with Vivid ink in Taupe. Don't you just love those adorable little figures from this set??
I hope you enjoyed seeing a few of my holiday cards. Thanks for visiting and now . . .
