Elegant Holiday Cards

 

I have been seeing a lot of magnificent cards made by dry embossing metallic cardstock and wanted to have a go at it myself.  They are just as pretty in real life as featured on Instagram.  Take a look!



This one started with the beaded ornament.  My BFF recently retired 
and is dipping her toes into the crafty world.  She's been making these 
"paint by numbers" bead creations and I just had to turn mine into a
card. And being the snarky friend that I am, I added the "I Made This" 
to my tag's tag and mailed it to her.  I'm sure she will get a big kick out of it.






While I had the embossing folder out I decided to create 
another metallic card in green.


I added a huge Joy sentiment and a few pearls and called this one done.

Supplies:
Spellbinders - Loops embossing folder
Spellbinders - Swallowtail Tags die set.
Spellbinders - Christmas Memories Enclosed stamp set
Spellbinders - gold pearl stickers
Simon Says Stamp - Joy die

If you haven't tried running your metallic cardstocks through a 3D embossing folder I highly recommend you give it a whirl.  It provides a lot of bang for the buck.

Thanks so much for visiting!!!
