This year I got my cards done early! I wanted to make a card that could feature many different images so I came up with the frame idea.
I had designed the frame last winter, so it was easy to put all this together. I used my Foil Quill with my Silhouette to cut and foil the frames.
I was using up paper that I already had, I didn’t buy a sheet of paper for these cards! The card I used for the frames was some extra left over from bookmaking, it is nice and thick which took the foil beautifully.
Such a nice deep impression! I also glitter sprayed the cardstock for the base of the cards. When you start early you can wait for things to dry a long time. Then I started embellishing the images! I used glitter and flocking powder.
It is always fun to decide what you want to embellish. And it makes it not just something you printed out.
After assembling the cards I felt they needed something else so I cut out a bunch of snowflakes and ornaments on my die cutting machine.
I had this great textured silver paper that looked great for the snowflakes.
My “Christmas Tidings” stamp worked perfectly with these Victorian cards. And I used different accent paper in the inside (yay for using up paper!)
The finished cards!
I had so many images, I hope I got all of them in the post!
Merry Christmas!
