Christmas Cards by Gerry van Gent

Happy Sunday friends!

I am sharing today two Christmas cards which I created 

while giving a Sizzix demo at Dhondt Hobby Products 

Open Days in Desselgem, Belgium.

For the base of the first card I used the Tickets framelits dies to create a double card.

After die cutting the Tattered Poinsettias I embossed them by using

 the Springtime Background embossing Folder. 

Then I used ink to distress (more to pop up) the embossed parts.

For the back of the card I used once again the three first die cut 

  and then embossed Tattered Poinsettias.

For the centers of the Tattered Poinsettia I used the stars which 

were leftover from the die cut  Christmas Stockings.

Added some Stickles as a final touch.

The  Christmas Stockings were die cut from self-adhesive red foam.

For the second card I die cut the decorative frames from

white cardstock and glitter cardstock.

Sparkle & Shine Christmas cards

Hi Everyone! This is Anna.

I cannot believe we have reached October already! Maybe it isn’t such a strange idea to be thinking about Christmas cards right now ;)

Here are two cards that I created using some Thinlits dies from Winter Wonderland collection by Craft Asylum.

When I make Christmas cards, I tend to like to use non-traditional Christmas colors…

 

 

 

For this card, I started with my pink base, that I created with spray ink.

I die cut the deer from gold glitter paper. I added the sentiment from the same collection. I die cut "joy" from card and then I glued above vellum banner.

Isn't the deer so cute?

 

 

 

 

For this card, I used the new Christmas trees dies. I love the little trees in this set! The sentiment is from the same collection. I die cut it from white paper and glue above vellum, to create the feeling of a chilly card.

I added tiny stars and rhinestone.
