Metallic Stripy Christmas Tree

 The bright sunshine in Melbourne this morning was perfect for photographing today's card. It shows the beautiful colours in the Brushed Metallic Foil papers. The three different colours, bronze, copper and gold are available in a pack together in the Aug to Dec Mini Catalogue.

I cut random long triangle strips of each colour of foil. I then attached them to a base triangle of Merry Merlot that I cut using the stitched Triangle Dies.

The background is Merry Merlot card stock that has been embossed with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. The star on top of the tree is Gold Brushed Metallic card stock, cut using a Stitched Star Die.

The card base is Thick Very Vanilla card stock. I prefer to use the Thick Very Vanilla and Thick Whisper White for card bases as it adds to the stability of the card where as card bases from standard Whisper White and Very Vanilla tend to be flimsy. The trunk of the tree is a small piece of wood grain paper from the In Good Taste DSP pack.

All of the products used on this card are from Stampin' Up! and are available in  my online store, the links are below.

Happy stamping,

Vintage Christmas Baubles

 

I had fun making this pretty frilly Christmas card. I was one of my class cards this month and I think my class ladies enjoyed it too.

The baubles are punched from the Brushed Metal card stock with the Bauble Punches. Two of the baubles are dry embossed with the Hammered Metal and the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing folders.

It's a bit hidden by the Lace and the Linen ribbon but there is one of the beautiful Gold Hoop embellishments tucked in there that the baubles are attached to. 

The holly leaves and the gold berries have been cut using the Poinsettia Dies. The background Very Vanilla card stock was embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder.

The greeting is from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and was heat embossed in Gold Embossing Powder.

All of the products I used to make these cards are listed below and are available in my online store. If you have any questions or comments about my project please contact me.

 Good morning stampers. I have some cards to share with you which feature the stamp set that will be available for pre order from the upcoming Jan to June Mini Catalogue.

The Quite Curvy Variety Bundle includes the Quite Curvy Stamp set and dies, the Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Classic Christmas 6"x6" DSP pack. See more details by clicking on the picture below.

For these cards I have used the Quite Curvy Bundle. I have also used the same card layout for each card, just changing the DSP/Metallic card stock and the embellishments. 

For this card I used the Flowers For Every Season DSP and the Medium Daisy Punch.
