How sweet! Perfect for all your Holiday creations!
Now, time for the good stuff!
I am sharing a few cards that I have created with our fabulous
Aren't they just gorgeous for Christmas?!!
Here's a closer look for you.....
Beautifully heat embossed stamps and die cut with such precision - LOVE!
You'll also spy our fabulous Holiday Vibes scrapbook collection too!
SO.much.pretty!!!
For these two cards, I used Premium Dye Ink in Sky Blue for the sentiment stamps & snowflakes. The die cut frames were treated with heat embossing with WOW! Embossing Powders in Metallic Gold (Rich Pale) & Rose Gold. Once they'd been perfectly cut with the Merry & Bright Die, I mounted them with thick foam tape for added dimension & interest.
Aren't those stamped snowflakes the best?! Total Winter Wonderland!
I embellish this frame with coordinating Holiday Vibes Enamel Dots and a Wood & Epoxy Button.
I scatter a few sequins, & add a Die Cut Ephemera sentiment (joy) for finishing touches.
So pretty!
For this card, I embellish the rode gold frame with Die Cut Ephemera baubles. Like the previous card, I add sequins and a Die Cut Ephemera sentiment to complete the card. Divine!
And last, but by no means least, my gorgeous "Seasons Greetings" card....
Sigh! Isn't this just darling?!
There's just something warm & cozy about red for Christmas!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks so much for joining me today!
I hope my cards have inspired you to get into the Holiday Spirit!
