More Gold Die-Cuts for Christmas

I cut these pieces out the same time as yesterday's cards. I also added extra dimension to them. And the sentiments are again from Paper Smooches and are gold-embossed.

Sorry the sentiments are so hard to see. Here are better pictures of them.

Gold Die-Cut Christmas

I had a few scraps of gold foily cardstock on my desk and decided to do a little bit of die-cutting with them. Here are the results of that. The sentiments are from Paper Smooches and are gold-embossed. I cut all the die-cuts out of thick card and glued them with the foil for added dimension. I also added a thin strip of the gold foil between the patterned paper and the white background.

Christmas Wishes

This colored snowman image was left-over from when I made my January 2013 calendar. (So, I made it in January of 2012, likely, or shortly after that!) 

The image is from Stampin' Up!. I colored it with Copics and added some sparkle with Star Dust Stickles. I matted with black and mounted on foam squares. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches. I cut the bottom layer using one of my Memory Box Stitched Rectangle dies.

Season's Greetings Tree

Another Christmas card for next year:) This tree was sitting on my table. The stamp is from Paper Smooches. I had stamped it with Versamark on green cardstock and embossed with gold. (I know - it doesn't look gold in the picture, but it's a very pretty, shiny gold.) I colored the trunk with a brown marker and cut it out. I added the "ornaments" with Liquid Pearls. The sentiment is embossed with gold, also, and is by Papertrey Ink.

Christmas Wishes

Okay, back to another Christmas card. This one was done with Paper Smooches stamps. I wish I hadn't put the tree on at such an angle - a little less slant would have been better, I think. I paperpieced the tree with a patterned green paper. The stamping was all done with Versamark and detail gold embossing powder. I embossed three decorative lines with my Scor-Pal. I matted the tree panel with the same patterned green. The patterned paper is all from Recollections.

Joy to the World

Two more Christmas cards for today. They both use stamps from a Paper Smooches set, so I thought I'd share them in the same post.

For this first one, I stamped the images with Memento black ink and colored with Copics. I matted with red cardstock.

I used only one ornament for this card. I colored this one with Copics, also. I covered the entire ornament with microfine glitter. I wish you could see the sparkle!

Two More Swirly Trees:)

I have two more Christmas cards that I've made with my Memory Box Christmas tree die. I guess I feel I need to make several to get my money's worth from it!

I had one more left that was cut out of white cardstock. I placed it on another piece of white cardstock and then sponged green distress ink over the whole thing. This gave me a green piece with a white tree, and a green tree. I matted the green piece with shimmery gold paper. I stamped the sentiment - from Paper Smooches - with Versamark and embossed with detail gold embossing powder. I added several red gems to adorn the tree.

I used the green tree for this second card. I again matted with shimmery gold, and I mounted that panel on foam squares. The patterned cardstock is from a Recollections matstack that I got a few years ago.

Swirly Christmas Trees

After I made this card, I had the dotted tree (below) left over. I tried it over olive green cardstock, and I liked the looks of it. So I made four more cards. Three are like the above card, and then the one below. For the top one, I cut the tree (Memory Box die) out of a shiny pewter cardstock. Then I cut the tree out of white. I matted the white with the olive green and then glued the tree back in the opening. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

I am linking these cards up to the Christmas Card Challenge blog. The optional challenge this week is a photo inspiration, but the only real challenge is to make a Christmas card.
