More Christmas Cards

These are some more cards that I've been doing with my Club Girls. I try to keep things simple but sometimes they turn into way more work! LOL

My window where I took these pictures for today is dirty (can you tell?). Thusly, there are many shadows across the cards. But who has time to clean when you're Stampin'!!!


Poinsettia Card

The base of the card is Confetti White layered with Basic Black of which the corners have been punched with the Ticket Punch and gold embossed with Merry Christmas from Holidays and Wishes. A strip of Wild Wasabi Double Stitched Ribbon has been adhered before layering.The flower is created by stamping two of the large Doodle This flowers on Real Red card stock and then heat embossing with Gold embossing powder. Cut out the flower image with Paper Snips and layer with Dimensionals. Easy enough but I hear a lot of groans when I say we are going to cut out an image. I guess Stampin' Up! needs a punch for this flower!!



Cheers!

The base of this card is Blue Bayou layered with Soft Sky. I used The Snowflake Spot and stamped a snowflake and Cheers in Blue Bayou ink. I wrapped Elastic Silver Cord around the Soft Sky before adhering and then put a few dabs of Two-Way Glue on the snowflake image and sprinkled Dazzling Diamond over it. You can't see it in the photo but it really sparkles in the light!



Holy Triptych

This card uses Confetti White scored at 2 1/4" and 7 3/4" so that the two folds meet in the middle of the card. The strips are Night of Navy one stamped with the Three Kings and the other Stamped with the Angel in VersaMark. Both were heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. The inside layer is also Night of Navy, the verse is from Star Studded Season. It is also embossed with White. The Holy Family is stamped on Shimmer White with Staz-On and watercolored with Stampin' Pastels and a Blender Pen. Such a pretty card but way too time consuming to do 50 for Christmas Cards!
