Maureen is hosting the Rudolph Days Challenge this month for the last time. Thanks to Maureen for running the monthly challenge for so long, but I'm sure we all understand the reason for her making the decision to step back from the challenge. I've made a few quick cards which will be easy to batch make using a couple of embossing folders, some tiny pearls and gems and a stamp.
This embossing folder is Apple Blossom 'Merry Christmas'. I trimmed the embossed card down to fit on the card blank, added some tiny white pearls and the card was finished.
I made an identical card in red.
For my last card used a preloved Cuttlebug embossing folder a bought recently in a charity shop. As I used it for the first time, I'll be sharing my card over in the NBUS challenge. I stamped a greeting with a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Greatest Part of Christmas' set, stamped with Versafine 'Satin Red'. A few tiny clear gems finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges with the last card:
Wonderful Christmas cards, Liz! I love the clear reds and greens. And of course the two embossing folders!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful embossing folders Liz and I love the red and then the green version using the Apple Blossom 'Merry Christmas' one with the sentiment repeated on the bottom half and the lovely holly leaves on the top, and the Cuttlebug one with the swirls and snowflakes is really pretty, and you were lucky to find it in a charity shop, and perfect in white with the red matted layer and stamped sentiment and little clear gems. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Liz, the Apple Blossom folder embossing is so effective and a great find for the second design whcih really sets off the lovely sentiment.

Very lovely emboss folders for some quick and CAS Chrismas cards.
ReplyDeleteNot seen those EFs before - they are both so beautiful in the different colourways. Lovely cas card and a great charity shop find.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun embossing folder the Apple Blossom is and it's nice that you found the pretty Cuttlebug e/f. Something old is new again.

Goodness these are simply beautiful!! I don't think I could have stopped with just some gems but would probably spoil the effect you have. Just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteOH! That reminds me I have the first folder. I love you used red and green with the gems. The last card is another lovely EF with a beautiful sentiment. x
ReplyDeleteA lovely festive card.
