A Happy New Year Card....

 Good Afternoon,

I am back with a Happy New Year card for those of you who send one to friends and family.


Close up...

I have used a White A6 card.

Stamp the top and bottom of the card with a small background stamp using a gold ink pad. Die cut a rectangle from the gold mirror card (11cm x 8cm). Attach to the main card.  Stamp the Holly Square with VersaMark ink pad and emboss with gold embossing powder. Stamp the greeting in the centre of the square, again emboss with the gold embossing powder. Repeat stamping the Holly section, then cut out the main square and the separate Holly piece. Add to the card putting the separate Holly piece on foam.
Finish off with Stickles Glitter Glue on the main berries.

Oval Aperture Christmas card....

 Good Afternoon Ladies

Made a Christmas card with an oval aperture with hanging Bauble '


Close up:-


I have used a DL card base.

Die cut an oval aperture at the front of your card 10.5cm x 6cm and approx. 3cm from the top of the card. Stamp the top half of the card with a background stamp with Versamark ink pad and white embossing powder. Attach a small piece of patterned paper to the bottom of the card. Edge the top of the paper with a border Christmas die, which I have embossed with silver embossing powder. The oval shape that came out of the aperture, stamp with the background stamp and emboss with silver embossing powder and then attach to the inside of the card as in the picture. Stamp he Bauble shape onto the patterned paper and emboss with white embossing powder. Cut the Bauble out and leave a little bit extra at the top of the Bauble to attach to the top of the aperture. Add a silver ribbon bow at the top of the Bauble. Stamp out the greeting and emboss with the sliver embossing powder. Cut out and add to the card. Finish off with the silver Stickles on the Bauble.
