It's that time of year!!! Silver (or gold) Christmas card

Hello again

I thought I'd show a Christmas card today, as now the clocks have changed it will be here before we know it.

Anyway here's the card made in silver

Shopping List

7x7 card blank

Silver card stock - I used a mat silver

White card stock

Phill Martin's holly decorative frame - snow stamp

Phill Martin's Holly insert frame merry Christmas Stamp

Phill Martin's Christmas holly sentiment borders Stamps

Happy Christmas from Phill Martin's Chrisrmas sentiments collection  Stamps

Creative expressions Swirling Holly Embossing folder

Cosmic shimmer silver detail embossing powder

Perfect medium pad

White seam binding

Creative expressions small dazzler.

Firstly I cut a piece of silver card slightly smaller than the card blank and attached it to the card blank

I then cut a pice of plan white card, again this time slightly smaller than the sliver card( about 1/2 cm). Before attaching this to the card blank  I stamped the top and bottom with a border from Phills holly sentiment borders Stamps using perfect medium and the embossing powder, and heat embossed these. This was then attached to the card.

I then cut a small border of the silver card to run across the middle of the design and another piece of white card 1/2 cm smaller, which I embossed with the swirling holly Folder before layering both pieces to the card.

On another piece of white card, and using the same method as the border I stamped and embossed the holly decorative and holly insert frames. I then carefully cut these out and before adding them to the centre of the card stamped the sentiment from Phill's Christmas Sentiments stamps on the top layer.

Once these were all attached to the card made a triple bow using the seam binding ( see Phill's u- tube video on how to do this) attached it to the card, and cut a little set of tails which were fixed under the top layer at the bottom. A small dazzler stuck in the centre of the bow finished the card off.

Here is the same card made in gold, only this time the sentiment is the one from the holly insert frame. I love them both .

Until next time

Happy crafting

Love
