Happy Christmas Greeting Cards

Happy, Friday Friends! On today’s blog post, I’d love to share with you the set of Christmas greeting cards that, I’ve made using; stamp sets by Simon Says Stamp and, a die set from Pinkfresh Studio so, without further ado, please keep on reading this below post. ↓

To begin with, I started cutting the card panels out of Barely There Card Stock. Next, I treated one of the card panels with the Embossing Powder Tool and, I stamped over it with Embossing Ink the Christmas Sweater Background Stamp. Once, that I had a crisp stamping, I added Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder to the background and, I heat set it with the Heat Embossing Gun Tool until the powder was melted. Right after the heat embossing, I trimmed the edges of the card panel off and, I adhered the backing of it with foam mounting tape to an A2 top folding white card base. As for he sentiment, I ran through the die-cutting machine the Happy Christmas Shadow Wafer Die Set to die-cut the shadow layer out of vellum and the top layer out of gold card stock. Lastly, after the die-cutting part, I stacked both layers and I adhered the backing of them with liquid glue to the card. To finish the card off, I gold heat embossed a sub-sentiment with Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder on a piece of white card stock a sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Mix 1 Stamp Set which, I trimmed off and adhered to a piece of vellum then to the card with foam mounting tape to add dimension as shown in the picture above.

For the second example, I repeated the same steps to white heat emboss the card panel. However, I used the Mod Trees Background Stamp. Next, I gold heat embossed on a piece of Translucent Vellum the largest sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Mix 1 Stamp Set so, after the heat embossing; I trimmed off the vellum edges W 2 3/4’’ X H 6.0’’ Right after, I folded and adhered the top and bottom parts of the vellum with strong adhesive to the back of the card panel. Lastly but not least, I adhered the backing of the card panel with foam mounting tape to an A2 top folding white card base as, you can see in the picture above.

At this point, I thought that I was done by making two cards but, I decided to create a third card because, I wanted to share with you how cute the white trees look without covering them with a large sentiment as the previous example. So, I stamped, white heat embossed and adhered the card panel to an A2 top folding white card base in the same way as I did for the previous example. But, before I adhered the card panel to the card base, I decided to wrap a few time a big piece of Metallic Embroidered Thread which, I finished with a bow as, you can see in the picture above. To finish the card off, I ran through the die-cutting machine one of the Classic Holiday Words Die Set to die-cut the top layer out of gold card stock and the shadow layer out of translucent vellum which, right afterwards I stacked and adhered with liquid glue to the card as, shown above.

You know, I won’t finish a card without adding a touch of sparkle so, I adhered here and there a few crystals and sequins from the Heaven Sent Sparkly Mix.
