It's so fun to look at my batch of cards each day and decide what to feature on my blog. I don't really have any plan in mind, just what strikes my fancy. Today it's back to Christmas and a card that is notable for no stamping, only die cutting and punching! Here it is:
This is a very traditional card with a classy feel to it because of my use of the metallic foil paper. This time, I chose our new "champagne" color. It isn't quite as bright as the gold and I just love it. Guess how this card was started? I had the background Real Red piece of card stock on my desk, already embossed with the Ruffled folder and hadn't used it for another idea. First rule of papercrafting is don't throw anything away! I knew I was limited to 4 letters or less for a word and chose "NOEL" because it's a common Christmas greeting as well as a 4 letter word. I used my Large Letters framelits to create the word. The top border piece was cut using the new "Swirly Snowflakes" thinlit die that creates a beautiful edge piece. I love this die, so fun to use. I finished up with the "Holly Berry Builder" punch and some red rhinestones for the holly.
This card would be relatively easy to mass produce and then you could stamp in the inside of the card with whatever sentiment you wanted to use. Is this the year you want to hand-make some Christmas cards? It isn't hard and there are all kinds of ideas to fit any style, level of expertise and budget. Contact me and I'll help you get started!
Hope you have a great Thursday!
