I have three different Christmas cards to share with you. The first is a fun card I've designed with our Canadian family members in mind. They love all things "Aussie".
I've used the Happy Christmas Mate stamp set coloured with markers. The Big Shot Scallop Circle Die helped me create the unusual shape for the card. I folded a 11 inch by 5 1/2 inch piece of card stock in half then placed the fold so that 5 of the scallops were uncovered. The white circle shape was cut using my Circle Scissors.
My next card again uses traditional colours (Real Red and Glorious Green) with some Brushed Gold and gold embossing for elegance.
Poinsettia flowers always remind me of Christmas. Both images on this card are from the set Christ is Born. I used the a green flower for leaves and embossed the words with gold detail embossing powder.
My third card was an attempt to design a Christmas card using non-Christmas stamps.
I used the floral pattern from Vintage Vogue repeatedly to create the wreath shape. The berries and sentiment are from Bella's Bloom.
Well that’s all from me. Next stop on the INKlings’ Team Blog Hop is Divya Rao . Have fun and don't forget to leave a comment on each blog to win some great Blog Candy.
