Colour Your Season: Golden Christmas card

I'm going to be writing a series of posts over the coming weeks featuring the limited edition Blended Seasons bundle which is only available 1-31 August 2018 or while stock lasts.  This bundle consists of the Blended Seasons stamp set and co-ordinating Stitched Seasons dies. It's very versatile and can be used for so many occasions.

Here's the first card I made in this series. It features the holly image from the stamp set.

To create this card I started with a Stampin' Up! Whisper White card base.  Using the Stamparatus I used the Blended Seasons's holly stamp to create a gold embossed border along the edge of the card. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was also gold embossed onto Whisper White card stock. I then layered some Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper onto the card base and added a thin white trim from the Delightfully Detailed Lasercut DSP onto the edge too.  I then diecut a Medallion and Star, then layered the sentiment over the middle of them and adhered it to the card base.

If you like this card, all products used are listed below and available from my online shop.  You are going to love this very versatile bundle, but you will need to be quick as it's only available until 31 August 2018 or while stock lasts.  If you join me team during July, you'll be able to pre-order this bundle early rather than waiting until 1 August.

I also conduct papercrafting classes each month - please contact me for further details if you live in Melbourne, Australia.  Private classes for you and your friends can be arranged for local crafters.

This Christmas card features one of my favourite colour schemes, gold, black & white.

I started with a Stampin' Up! Basic Black card base and layered the gorgeous polka dot Fabulous Foil acetate over the top.  A tip when using this acetate - it has a protective coating on it to protect it in transit, so don't forget to peel it off before adding the acetate to the card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set and die cut it using the Lots of Labels framelits.  I also die cut a slightly larger label in Gold Foil and layered them together.  The holly leaves were punched using the Holly Berry Punch, painted with a bit of Gold Wink of Stella and added to the sentiment, together with a gold bow.  The star from the Starlight thinlits has inbuilt fold lines and when you fold and score along these lines, it gives the star a 3D effect.  I added a few foam dimensionals under the centre of the star to ensure it kept its shape.
