Christmas time is certainly the occasion for some gold and shine. This is a simple card with shine using the Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. And the addition of the Ornamental Christmas Bundle.
Initially I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the Garden Green card. It just felt flat. After a couple of days I came back to it and I redid it and heat embossed the sentiment in Gold. That made it extra shiny and classy.
If a card is not working sometimes it’s just a matter of redoing the sentiment to give it a little WOW! especially with some shiny gold.
I’m loving the Ornamental Christmas Bundle and the Modern Christmas Paper. The paper is not your traditional red and green but you can add those colours as well. It gives you extra class.
I have played a lot with the Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Christmas Bundle and the Modern Christmas Specialty Paper. It is so gorgeous.
For this one I added a little more classy gold.
To create this diecut an ornament shape from Gold Foil then position it in the Christmas Words Collage Embossing Folder. You can see the words to get the best place. Then emboss through your Diecut Machine.
Also diecut an ornament from the lovely Modern Christmas paper too. Add a strip of black card and then some diecut gold dots.
If you don’t have this particular bundle you could still get a similar look. You may have another ornament style punch or die and even a different Embossing Folder. Gold adds a lot of class for your Christmas cards.
Happy Crafting.

Today’s card is one with the gorgeous Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.
The frame is created with the Branching Out Dies from Cloud Cover cardstock. This was embossed with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I cut a piece of that lovely paper to adhere to the back and then raised the piece off the Base Card with Dimensionals. This gives the card extra dimension and texture.
Isn’t the sentiment so lovely?? That was diecut with one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
It’s a simple card but what more do you need.
Try it with any of your papers and embossing folders. You can create the frame with any shape too. Maybe a rectangle or even a circle.

I’m making up some little Thank You Cards to send out to my lovely customers when they order. For the cards recently I have been using some “left-over” bits.
This one I was playing around with the Sunflower Embossing Folder. I fussy cut one of the sunflowers. I was going to add it to a previous card and then it didn’t work out. But not to waste it. I add it to this little Mini Card.
I had a small scrap piece of the Florals in Bloom Paper and trimmed it down for the front of the card. The sentiment from Simply Said set was stamped on some Lemon Lolly card.
I will share some more of these Mini Thank You cards very soon.

I have been meaning to show some more cards with the Sunflower Embossing Folder. I shared a number of the cards in my recent video but it might be good to see them close up.
This one is more a distressed looking card.
I embossed with the folder on a piece of the “wood” look pattern from the Nests of Winter Paper pack. You could use any similar print.
Then you can add your colouring. This one I used the Ink Pads and Blending Brushes then assembled it on the card base with a piece of Old Olive card off-set a little. I think curling up the edges of the embossed piece might have given a more distressed look.
I have had so much fun with this Embossing Folder. I hope to get back to you again soon with some more card projects soon.
If you missed it you can see the video of 5+ Ways with the Sunflower Embossing Folder -> HERE.

Sunday Suites with the Traditions of Christmas Suite. If you love the classic red and greens for Christmas and the Holly and Poinsettias then you will love this.
The Traditions of Christmas SuiteCollection includes:
Traditional Labels Bundle
Christmas Greenery Bundle
Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper
Real Red 1/2″ (1.3cm) Shiny Ribbon 10 Yards (9.1m)
Traditional Sparkling Sequins 240 adhesive-backed pieces 60mm each of 4 colours. 4mm, 5mm, 6mm.
The Traditional Labels Bundle contains individual sentiments that can be used together or by themselves and not just for Christmas so it is a versatile one. But I do like the Dies set with this one with the different shape dies.
The Christmas Greenery Bundle contains the poinsettia and greenery stamps and has coordinating dies to diecut the images plus a number of different shaped leaves to create Christmas floral arrangements.
The Traditions of Christmas Specialty Paper has touches of Gold through it which is really striking. It has the classic Christmas flowers and leaves like the Poinsettias and Holly. The paper is 12″x12″ with colours of Cherry Cobbler, gold, Old Olive, Pool Party, Real Red, Secret Sea.
The Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder. Note this Embossing Folder is very large. It is 6″ x 6-1/4″ (15.2 x 15.9 cm). So bigger than your standard Card Size you would just have a touch of texture on it. It is pretty though with lots of detail.
The Real Red Shiny Ribbon is very shimmery which really adds a delicate, soft touch to cards and gift packaging. In addition there is the Traditional Sparkling Sequins.
Here are some samples with these gorgeous products.
Are you a Classic Red and Green with the traditional flowers and foliage. This will be for you. See it more -> HERE.
