Hi Artzy friends -

I'm in full swing Christmas card mode!

I created this card with some festive Dare 2B Artzy products from this year and last.

The Botanical Background die can actually be used at any time of the year, but cutting it in gold foil  cardstock screams holidays to me! 

The tree and sentiment are from the Christmas Magic stamps and dies. 

The deep red background paper is from the Delivering Christmas collection.

I hope you're enjoying your holiday crafting time! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Deck the Halls

Hi Artzy friends -

It's officially the holiday card making season!

My card today features images from two different Dare 2B Artzy stamp and die sets, Cabin Retreat  and Christmas Magic . These are just two of the sets in the holiday release that are loaded with festive images and sentiments,  perfect for all of your cards for the season!

I cut my collage frame from iridescent cardstock, and my patterned paper background is from the Holly Days 6x6 paper pack.

All of my images are colored with Copic markers and popped up with foam tape, and my sentiment is heat embossed in silver.

I hope this card puts you in the holiday card making spirit!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

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!
