Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Hope you are having a good weekend. It’s a bit chilly here in Wisconsin, and I have to admit … I have turned the heat on a time or two!
In my last post, I shared with you a simple card using the “Joyful Christmas” stamp set, so I wanted to show you another that is entirely different.
Today’s card share is a non-traditional but stunning Christmas card. Normally we don’t think of using black for Christmas cards, but paired with the beautiful Silver Foil Sheets, you can’t go wrong.
I teamed up this color combination with the “Triple Time” Technique to create this elegant card. It really was quite easy to create. I began with a 4 x 4 inch square in the silver foil. I cut my black mats 1/2″ smaller. With that in mind, the silver squares are: 4″ x 4″, 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″, and 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″. The black will measure: 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ and 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″.
Once all your layers are cut, you take out the black mats, stack up the silver … then stamp and emboss.
I used the Silver Metallic Encore pad as my ink medium, then the silver embossing powder. You will notice some gaps between the layers of silver… it’s OK because your black mats will cover that up. Be sure to align your stamped image before assembling.
My Christmas Wishes come from the “Joy to the World” stamp set, and are also stamped with the Encore pad, then embossed with the silver embossing powder.
Hope you enjoyed the two different styles of the poinsettia, Joyful Christmas stamp set.
Thanks so much for sharing your day with me.
Stop back again for more inspiration.
