Well, I've been tasked by Creative Expressions to make Christmas cards! On the hottest day of the year (so far) I've been thinking snow, carols, trees.....
Anyway, this is the first one of the month for you.
Die Cut the Illuminated Christmas Tree from Foundations Vintage Gold Card.
Die cut the Finishing Touches Classic 3d Bow using the Vintage Gold Card.
Glue the strip from that set onto the embossed card and trim to size.
Matt and layer onto Vintage Gold card
Glue the tree into position.
Add a small black Dazzler to the centre of the bow.
Ink up the sentiment from the A5 Filigree Christmas Set with Black Archival and stamp onto Coconut White Card. Heat emboss with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Powder.
Cut into a banner shape. Matt and layer onto Gold Card.
Shape and glue into position.
Add a small Black Dazzler to the tree to finish.
I wanted to make a card that was quick but elegant and would be suitable for a man or woman to receive.
Although the tree is very detailed, it cut beautifully but I would use wax paper to help lift it from the die.
I've used Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue to stick everything down. Again, the filigree work on the bow and the tree is very detailed and there isn't a lot of room for the glue, but a few drops of this glue works beautifully.
Well, that's about is for this week....I'm going to stand under a cold shower and cool off!
