Emboss It..

Time once more for the girls in the 

Christmas Card Club 

to show our makes.

Carol chose todays theme which is 

Use a Stencil or Embossing folder.

I don't have any christmas type stencils 

but I do have a few E.F.'s  which fit the bill.

My first card uses an embossing folder

by Darice  called 

'Pine branches in Corner'

I used gold shimmer card to emboss

and then found a recycled card which had 

a  circle sentiment in  the design which

just fitted nicely onto my card.,

I cut out using my Xcut circle dies and then 

ran through a  dots E.F. to look like snow falling.

(Actually it's to hide the marks from my 

scratched cutting plates that I'm too much

of a skinflint to replace!!)

Backed onto black cardstock to pick up the 

black wording and then mounteed onto 

cream shimmer card stock for the card base.

A fairly quick  CAS card with  the added

bonus that the left over card can go back into  my stock pile

to use another time!

I love it when a plan comes together.

Now it wouldn't be Christmas

without the old acetate would it

so here is the 2nd card I made.

Camera decided at this point to go all pinky on me

but as I love pink i'm not complaining. 

This time I have used an E.F. by 

Couture Creations called 'Rudolph.

I embossed onto green  Vellum  

and it came out a treat.

It looks just like  parchment .

I backed onto green card which then makes the base

with the acetate sheet sandwiched into the spine

I used check washi tape to cover the spine 

along with a strip of adhesive peel off ribbon

which had the sentiment already on it. 

Gold /green  stickers completes  the look.

 2 more cards for the pot and still sticking to 

my resolve to use one recycled card and one  made 

from my stock of stamps/digis/E.F. or die cuts.

Entering the above card  into the following challenges:
