Happy Saturday!
Today I have another Christmas card to share. This card uses a Hot Foil plate from Spellbinders, which I bought in a bundle - Glimmer Holly Background. I made 3 different cards with this glimmer plate. This first one is a simple silver foil on blue cardstock (PaperTrey Ink - Enchanted Evening). It is matted on silver cardstock and the Merry Christmas is die cut from the center of the silver mat.
The Merry Christmas die I found on Amazon and I liked that it was all one piece, even the dot of the i is part of the Merry swoosh. I matted the Merry Christmas sentiment on a piece of vellum to help it from getting lost in the background. This was something I learned from Justine Hovey's online 12 Days of Christmas cardmaking tutorial.
I made some cards vertical and some horizontal.
The next 2 posts will show some other techniques using this same glimmer plate.
The Christmas card making class I took online in September - Stress Free Cardmaking Summit, was 3 days of cardmaking and technique tutorials. It really kickstarted my Christmas card making in October and led to making lots of different cards using lots of different techniques. I got out my watercolors, colored pencils, stencil and inks and one card is colored with Copics, so there is more to come in the next 4 posts. More glimmer foil and BetterPress use too.
Thanks for stopping by...
Blessings to you,
Deb
