Gilded Embossing Folder

Hi Everyone,

I need to increase my Christmas card production.....just doing them all year long is apparently not enough....


So I pulled out my favorite Dixie Drafts dies (Santa and Reindeer), a 3-D embossing folder and a so far NBUS German sentiment set from Inkystamps. This was really quick to make. I embossed dark blue card stock and smeared Delicata ink on top. Die cut the Santa, deer and stars (Memory Box) from gold card stock. Assembled everything with some Washi tape . The sentiment I had put in my Misti and stamped it on both cards.

First of all...those diecuts are beyond awesome. Secondly, your use of the deep blue paper to enhance the dry embossing and Delicata is brilliant.

Love them both, Cornelia ... the texture-y backgrounds are gorgeous enough with the gold highlighting ... though it's how Santa and Rudolph that take the proverbial cake (or carrot!) for me, you've used them brilliantly! Hugs, Anita :)

I love this card. With my diminished capability of using my left hand this is something I could do. What is the name of the reindeer die cut? And is it memory box or is it Dixie craft I? I have just got to have one! I absolutely adore all of your work!
melissa edwards said…
It is Delicata metallic ink.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
