Making Christmas cards is at the top of my crafting list at the moment. The Stampin' Up! Christmas Labels bundle is a lovely set for adding sentiments onto my cards. I've also used the newly released Marbled Elegance specialty designer series paper on the two cards I'm sharing today.
The Marbled Elegance paper has been released to co-ordinate with the new Hearts of Elegance stamp & die bundle. I love the versatility of this paper as some of the sheets have a red, gold & white colour scheme which perfectly suits Christmas projects too.
TIP: To economically use the distressed gold foil paper onto which the Marbled Elegance paper was matted, I diecut the Christmas Label out of the paper first. Once the Marbled Elegance paper was layered on top of it, the hole in the gold foil paper was totally covered and the card recipient wouldn't know it was there at all.
TIP: You may notice from the picture above that there are little flourishes under the largest Christmas Labels diecut. These are pieces which come out of the label which would normally be thrown away, but not this time - they're perfect little flourish accents on projects.
Here are the two card side by side. Which one do you prefer?
You can see the Marbled Elegance paper and all the other newly released Online Exclusives here.
