Merry Christmas

Today I used a stamped sentiment from my stash... it was already embossed in gold with its mini holly leaves white embossed and colouredwith pencil... so I simply ran the white panel through the Cuttlebug with a snowflake EF using parts of it along one side and then in the corner.  To finish I added a red card layer and a few die cut white glitter card snowflakes from my stash.

I am playing along with Let's Squash It challenge #2 - Christmas themed Embossing folder and a stamp   and also joining in with    Christmas Kickstart challenge #42 who have the same theme.

Two Cards Featuring Stars

Today for my two cards for the November Twofer Card Challenge #33 - STARS  --- I have used both a die and a stencil and created two Christmas cards.....

....  as per the "Twist" Darnell has allowed for those of us catching up on our Christmas cards.

I used a starry stencil and gold and pink mists to create the background...it bled a little but I'm ok with that.... found a matching stripped DP and some darker metallic card - where I used the star die to cut four shapes to place along one edge... for the sentiment I used a strip of ribbon with gold lettering, then assembled the card with foam tape behind the stars.

On my second card I used white texture paste through the stencil then when that was dry spritzed with gold mist.  Found some patterned gold wrapping paper and used a torn edge die to cut this for a border.  I die cut a pale gold metallic star with the small star die and used the larger die to create a star outline.  To finish I die cut a sentiment from the gold paper.
