Pink Christmas Fun with Joy Clair & Imagine

Hello friends!

 I'm continuing with my "pink Christmas" trend for our Joy Clair collab with Imagine Crafts! For this card I'm using the "Merry Christmoose" Stamp Set. I focused on the tree image for this particular card. It's just so pretty!

I used the Mboss Embossing Powder in Rose Gold once again to emboss the tree and I used Sheer Shimmer in Dauber Top Sparkle and Spritzer in Frost, Gold and Rose Gold along with Fireworks Spray in Angel Pink! I love how easy the products were to layer and not completely end up with a mess! They dry quickly too!  It's hard to photograph all the shimmer - but this card is really sparkly and pretty! The Frost Sheer Shimmer really looked pretty on the tree.



Thanks for stopping by today! 

See you soon!

Rinea Letterpressed Christmas Card

Hello Rinea Friends!

We are making a beautiful and elegant Christmas Card today using Rinea foiled paper!
I used an older product in my stash to create this card - a letterpress pad for my Big Shot!  So it's not an embossing folder, it's literally the image pressed into the foiled!  Once I had made my impression, I cut the Emerald/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper down to the size I wanted and added a mat of Ruby/Glossy Foiled Paper!  
 

I used a green cardstock base and added a layer of glitter paper for some extra sparkle. The layers were all glued together.  I really wanted to keep the elegant and simple feel of this card, but it needed SOMETHING. AHA! I grabbed some of the cones that were leftover from my previous project (find that HERE) and created a BOW from the Silver Starstruck Cones!  I used some Ruby Starstruck to wrap the center of the bow and hot glued it down.
 
Here is the full supply list:
Jolly Foiled Variety Pack - I used the Emerald/Gold Glossy, Ruby/Gold Glossy, Silver Starstruck and Ruby Starstruck
Glitter Paper
Green Cardstock
Papertrimmer
Adhesive of Choice
Letterpress plate
Big Shot Machine and appropriate plates

Voila! That's all there is to it!
I hope you enjoy my Letterpressed Christmas card! See you again next time!

Vintage Christmas with Joy Clair & Imagine

Hello friends!

I am really into the holiday spirit early this year - which also means I started in on my Christmas cards. I'm so excited about our Joy Clair partnership with Imagine Crafts this month - and the products I received go PERFECTLY with the vintage feel I wanted to go for! I was working with Prima's Santa Baby Papers!

Check out my card I created using the Vintage Christmas Ornaments stamp set. I think this is now becoming my FAVE set for Christmas!

November 2019

I used the Mboss Embossing Powder in Rose Gold to do the embossing of the deer head. I love how it turned out!!! It matched my "Santa Baby" papers perfectly! I also used Sheer Shimmer in Dauber Top Sparkle and Spritzer in Gold and Rose Gold.  I just love how subtle these give sparkle to cards - perfect for Christmas!


Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I gave you some ideas on getting your holiday cards started. Joy Clair Stamps are perfect for every occasion.
See you soon!
