Christmas Cards

I had fun making some Christmas cards in the weekend.

The scanned image is losing the golden shine. The gold leaves are against some dark leaves to form poinsettia. I have used rice flower for its center. It is mounted on cream colored velour paper and then on a dark green card embellished with gold/copper metallic ribbon.

The words “Let It Snow” are cut with petals. I have used Queen Anne's Lace for the snow on a piece of silk paper. It is mounted on silver foil and then on a white card that I have stamped Seasons Greetings with blue and blue/purple ink embossed. I have also embellished the card with silver ribbon.

Santa is made with petals. It is a simple design but time consuming. However, it was fun making it. The pressed flower design is mounted on a golden paper and then mounted on a red card. The bottom of the card is stamped "Merry Chrismas" in gold and embossed.

I have used a square puncher to create the window penal. One can open the card to review the full Christmas tree. It took some try on another piece of paper to get used to with the Fiskars anywhere punch. After understanding how to allight the punch, it was such fun creating window panel cards.

The Chrismas tree is created on slightly smaller card and then mounted inside of the window card.

A contemporary design on golden paper. The red flower is actually 3 ixora flowers stacked up. I just love this effect! A friend gave me the baby holly leaves. They press out black! How lovely they look in this card? The background is a gold metallic paper.

I just love the curve lines!
