Foiled Christmas Ornament

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have two foiled Christmas cards to share with you.

My cards today use the Spellbinders Ornament Glimmer Hot Foil Plate die set. This die set contains the large ornament glimmer plate, along with four sentiment plates and then the dies to create the poinsettia and leaves etc.

I couldn't decide what color to use for the ornament and also for the background panel, so in the end I made two cards.

For my first card, I used gold foil for the ornament and red foil for the Merry Christmas sentiment in the centre of the ornament. After foiling the ornament, I cut it out using scissors as this doesn't come with a die. 

The background panel was created by gold embossing the Noel Bold Print stamp from Hero Arts. 

I adhered the ornament to the background panel and then decorated the top of the ornament using the flowers and leaves from the set.

For my first card I gold foiled on white cardstock and added a red poinsettia. For my second card, the ornament and sentiment were both gold foiled. I then die cut the poinsettia using a white glittered cardstock, it's not completely glittered, just flecks all over the cardstock.

For the inside of the card. I used a Crafter's Companion Happy Christmas Hot Foil Stamp and gold embossed using the same colored cardstock as the background on the front of the card. This Hot Foil Stamp comes with a coordinating die which I used to die cut the sentiment.

I then added a poinsettia and pines to the top of the sentiment using the same colors as the flower on the front.

It's hard to show the beauty of the gold foiling in the photos, in real life there look amazing.

Happy Christmas and New Year

Hi Crafty Friends,

I am back today with another foiled Christmas card. There have been a number of fabulous Christmas themed hot foil stamps released this year and I could help but add a few to my stash. You can capture the beauty of the foil when you take a photo, but in real life this card has beautiful gold and silver shiny appearance.

Both of the hot foil stamps on the front of my card are from Crafter's Companion. The one along the bottom of the card is called Pine Forest Border, if you look carefully you can see all the trees and to deer on the left where there is an opening. I gold foiled the trees to the bottom of my card onto a teal cardstock. Once I had that along the bottom, I was able to trim my card to the size I wanted. I blended Distress Oxide Inks in Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire around the top and sides of the card.

I added the "Happy Christmas" sentiment to the left side of my card which I foiled using silver foil.

For the inside of my card I added an older foil stamp I have had in my stash for a few years. This one is Couture Creations/Anna Griffin Peace on Earth.
