November Card Club - embossed ornament framed with cardstock strips over a Christmas background


 This last card was a quick and easy one!!  The embossed and die cut ornament was positioned on the decorative paper background and then strips of cardstock were adhered to each side and trimmed to the edge of the paper.  I started with the top strip and aligned the square end to the left edge of the ornament.  Then just did the same for the other three sides.  Glued this large element to our card fronts and then added little sparkly embellishments to the ornaments to finish off our cards!!   I like the movement in this card and it is so much easier than it looks!!!  Therese

November Card Club - gold embossed nativity scene on a beautiful gold foil background

For our second card we created these cards.  The O Holy Night (inkadinkado) was stamped and embossed with gold embossing powder and trimmed to size.  I had considered adding colour but could not decide just where and with which medium so decided against any colour.  I used my distress tool on the edges.  The layer was punched on the bottom and then the nativity was adhered to it.  A window punchie (SU) was added with a gold brad and adhered on the back.  The beautiful flourished foil paper was adhered to the coordinating card and then the large O Holy Night was added with 3D foam tape.  There were a variety of colours for the cards, layers and window punches which provided some variety to our cards.
