Merry Christmas ~ Snowflakes

Hello bloggers I hope you are well and the weather is being kind to you where you are.  Today I have another Christmas card using the tumble dryer sheet technique.

This card began as a sheet of centura pearl card stock that I cut and scored to make a DL card blank.  Next I stamped the front of the card randomly with Creative Expressions 'Christmas topper' stamp set and broken china distress ink.  I stamped 1st and 2nd generation.

Next using a used tumbled dryer sheet that has been ironed I added spray adhesive in the spray booth  to the tumble dryer sheet, I then placed it onto the front of the card.  Pressing it into place and smoothing out and bubbles or bumps.  Next I added Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles 'angel whisper' glitter.  This was pressed by hand to get it to adhered to the adhesive on the tumbled dryer sheet.

Using an off cut of white card stock and black soot distress ink I stamped the sentiment using
Justrite 'large merry Christmas sentiments' stamp set, .  I then used a small snowflake punch and punched around the sentiment.  Finally I inked the edges of the sentiment with broken china distress ink before adhering it onto the card front.

Reindeer Holly & Berries ~ We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Hello bloggers I hope that you are well.  Today I have another Christmas card for you, but this time a reindeer.

 

This card began as an A4 sheet of Centura pearl card stock that I cut and scored to make a card blank

 4 x5.5 inches.  Next I stamped a snowflake randomly over the front of the card using tumbled glass distress ink and  Stamping With Dimension 'snowmen' stamp set.  Using a piece of white card stock I stamped the reindeer image using the same stamp set as above and walnut stain distress ink.  I then die cut it using Spellbinders 'labels B' die set.  The edges were then inked with the same distress ink.  The topper was adhered to the front of the card. 

Using some off cuts of green pearlescent paper and off cuts of red waxy paper I die cut the holly and berries  with Spellbinders die d-lites  'holly twigs and leaves ' die set.  I then adhered them around the topper shape.  The sentiment was stamped using tumbled glass distress ink onto white card stock with Creative Expressions 'Christmas toppers' stamp set.  It was then cut by hand and matted onto some silver mirror board before being adhered to the bottom of the card.

Spellbinders Poinsettia ~ We wish you a merry Christmas

Hello bloggers I hope you are all well and had a good day yesterday.  I am feeling much better than yesterday which is good news.

So onto today's card I thought I would add some sparkle, so have created this card using some gorgeous mirror boards and glittery brads.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First to the front I adhered some red patterned Christmas paper.  Next using some red and green mirror board and Spellbinders 'poinsettia' die set I die cut and embossed two large and one smaller poinsettia as well as the leaves. Once embossed I layered them up and added a faux pearl to the center that was coloured with a ProMarker.  The leaves and poinsettias were then adhered to the card.  Next using an off cut of the background paper I stamped my sentiment using Creative Expressions 'Christmas toppers' stamp set and black soot distress ink.  This was then die cut using Spellbinders 'back to basic tags' die set.  A mat was cut from green mirror board using Spellbinders 'fancy tags two' die set.  The tags were adhered together and red glittered brads were added to the tag holes before being attached to the card.
