I thought I'd share a few of the Christmas cards that I have finished making.
I don't make many cards for the festive season and these ones won't be going in the post.
I love foxes and opted for this ever so cute Festive Friends topper digital download from Opulence by Design Crafts. There are 4 toppers to a sheet with sentiments and I layered this with mirror card and added a sheet of Festive Grunge backing paper which you can just see peeping out from behind my card. This is a beautiful design that would make a fabulous festive card on its own.
I die cut my poinsettia from some faintly patterned vellum that I found in my craft stash and also embellished with the easy cut ivy leaves and some extra die cuts.
For this card I have just used a festive Spellbinders embossing folder and added a few leaves from another download collection. These always come in so handy for other projects and I'm always looking for foliage to accompany my blooms. These leaves were from the Chalky Wonders Clematis collection also from Opulence by Design Crafts.
For my third card I used Amelia the topper and sentiment download from one of the Pom Pom & Posies collections. She is my favourite from their Christmas collection. I've added some die cut frames and repeated the layout as before.
I have also used a clear overlay glitter pen on my poinsettia to lift the red cardstock and add some shimmer.
I've also added it to the background of the toppers as its soft enough to add shimmer without overpowering and used my gel pens to highlight.
My last card is a different colourway but I have used the same format as before and added a white gel pen to highlight on the topper. The downloadable topper sheet comes with 4 beautiful toppers and sentiments and these would also work perfectly on winter birthday cards too.
All my cards also have personalised inserts inside and I've made box envelopes for them too.
Thanks for stopping by today to view my little crafty space.
