Hi crafters,
I have super exciting news! I'm now part of the Christmas Craft Creations Design Team. Christmas Craft Creations (CCC) is a monthly challenge blog for Christmas projects. There are two inspiration posts a month from the Launch Team and the Reminder Team, which I've joined.
August's CCC challenge is all about Clean and Simple (CAS) cards. I chose to use mainly Spellbinders products because they had just shown up in the mail. I created a standard American A2 card base at 4.25" x 5.5" on white cardstock. I embossed a slightly smaller panel of white cardstock using the Spellbinders Adorning the Tree 3D embossing folder. I pulled out my Glimmer machine and used gold foil with the A Merry Little Christmas Sentiments hot foil plate set by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders. I popped the sentiment up using foam tape. I used various small foliage dies from two Spellbinders die sets - Joy and Christmas Blooms. I cut the foliage from white cardstock and inked using paper pouncers and Concord & 9th inks. I finished off the small poinsettia with tiny dot die cuts from gold foil cardstock.
