Magical Christmas

 Hi Artzy friends -

Some time ago I was playing with the Dare 2B Artzy Night Sky Hot Foil Plate after learning that you can hot foil onto heat resistant acetate. I just loved the result and was waiting for just the right opportunity to use it on a card. It doesn't look like much here...

The card I created uses one simple Christmas Tree image from the Christmas Magic stamps and die sets. 

The Wishing you a magical Christmas sentiment is from the Rockin' Holiday stamp set and I think it's a perfect sentiment for this card!

I created a a frame from silver mirror cardstock using the Rectangle Framelits dies and glued it over my acetate. I popped up the frame and acetate onto my card base, giving the illusion of a shaker card. No shaker bits were necessary though because the silver foiled stars give all the sparkle needed! For one more touch of silver shine I heat embossed my sentiment using silver embossing powder. 

I wish you could see this simple shiny card in person!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Impossible Christmas Card

 Hi Artzy friends -

My card today features new holiday stamps, dies, and papers from the Winter Escape collection.

I created my card with the Impossible Fold Die. While it may look "impossible" creating a card with this die set is super fun and easy, and I love that it includes so many useful extra layers! 

All of the images and sentiments used are from the Christmas Magic and Cabin Retreat stamps and dies sets. The patterned paper is from the Winter Escape collection.

I enjoyed coloring all of the little holiday images and adding a little sparkle here and there. I even experimented on the stocking with an old product in my stash called Sparkly Fluff! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
