The silver foil panel adds glimmer and elegance to this card. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Good Greetings

Paper:

   Purple Posey A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 1/4" Strip

   Silver Foil 5 x 2-1/4

   Dry Embossing

First, I stamped, punched, and sponged the sentiment. I used Tuxedo Black Memento for stamping, and the Highland Heather for sponging. The strip of Basic White was punched with the Washi Label Punch.

I then took one of the Basic White panels and dry embossed it, using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. I adhered this panel onto the Purple Posey card front.

Next, I adhered the DSP panel onto the Silver Foil panel and then adhered this panel to the right side of the card front, using liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I adhered the sentiment with dimensionals, and added the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Silver Ornament

 Although there are many ways to adhere intricate die cuts onto your cards, I find that multipurpose adhesive sheets are the way to go. Simply apply your paper onto an adhesive sheet, die cut, peel off the backing, and apply to your project. Have you tried it? Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Beautiful Baubles

Paper:

   Smoky Slate A-2

   Night of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 5-1/4 x 2, 2-3/4 x 2-1/2 (Adhesive-Backed)

   Siver Glimmer 2-1/4" Circle, 3/4 x 5-1/8 (Adhesive-Backed)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 5-1/4 x 1

Ink:

   Night of Navy

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder

   Detailed Baubles Thinlits

   Flourish Thinlits

   Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets

   2-1/4" Circle Punch

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed the Basic White strip, using the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the top of the Basic White panel.

I then adhered the Night of Navy 2" panel to the Basic White panel right under the dry embossed piece.

Next, I die cut the adhesive-backed Night of Navy piece, using the Detailed Baubles Thinlit die. I peeled off the backing and adhered it to the Silver Glimmer Circle.

I then die cut the adhesive-backed silver glimmer strip, using the Flourish Thinlit die. I peeled off the backing and adhered it to the center of the Night of Navy strip on the Basic White panel.

Next, I added dimensionals to the back of the ornament and adhered it to the left side of the Night of Navy strip as shown above.

I then stamped the sentiment on the bottom right of the Basic White panel.

Next, I matted the panel with a Night of Navy matte and then adhered it to the Smoky Slate card front.

Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Christmas Snowflakes

How fun to celebrate Christmas with a little shake. This is sure to put a smile on anyone's face. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Pacific Point A-2

   Snowflake Splendor 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 3-1/2 x 4-3/4, 1 x 2-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Window Sheet 3-1/4 x 4-1/2

   Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper (small snowflake)

Ink:

   Pacific Point

Technique:

   Shaker Card

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Winter Snow Embossing Folder

   Washi Label Punch

   So Many Snowflakes Dies

   Snowflake Sequins

   Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems

   Felt Snowflakes

   Tear & Tape

   Foam Adhesive Strips

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I took the 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 Basic White panel and dry embossed it with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.

I then die cut the center, using the die from So Many Snowflakes. I also took the smallest snowflake and die cut two, using the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper.

Next, I stamped and punched out the sentiment, using Pacific Point and the Washi Label Punch. 

I then adhered the Window Sheet with a few glue dots onto the back of the die cut panel. 

Using foam adhesive strips, I enclosed the opening of the die cut. The foam strips will keep the sequins in view through the window sheet. I also added a foam strip on the outer edge of the panel to keep it from crushing down.

Next, I added my shaker card filling in the center of the DSP panel. I then added the window sheet panel on to the DSP. This was then adhered to the Pacific Point card front.

I added a Blue Felt Snowflake from my stash, using a glue dot, and adhered the sentiment with some liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I added the Balmy Blue Glimmer snowflakes, using glue dots, and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Vellum Stars

I don't use vellum often enough because I find it difficult to hide the glue marks. I used vellum tape on this one, but I can still see the residue. Thoughts?

   Vellum 5-1/4 x 4

   O Holy Night DSP 1-1/2 x 4

Next, I adhered the DSP panel with the ribbon to the bottom of the embossed vellum panel.

I then stamped and die cut the sentiment. 

Next, I adhered the vellum panel to the Misty Moonlight card front. I used vellum tape, but you can use liquid adhesive or glue dots.

Elegant Christmas

The Evergreen Border Punch may work better on a horizontal card. I think the trees look rather small on a vertical card. What do you think? Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Evergreen Elegance

Paper:

   Soft Succulent A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Tidings of Christmas DSP 3-3/4 x 4

   Sahara Sand 1-1/2 x 5-1/2

Ink:

   Cherry Cobbler

   Sahara Sand

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Evergreen Border Punch

   Myths & Magic Iridescent Washi Tape

   Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I punched out my strip of evergreen trees, using the Evergreen Border Punch.

I then stamped these trees with a bit of Sahara Sand ink.

Next, I adhered the DSP to the top of the Basic White panel.

I then adhered the trees to the bottom of the DSP panel. I snipped the ends of the strip to align it with the Basic White panel.

I added the iridescent washi tape to the bottom of the trees and wrapped it around to the back of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment, using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Next, I adhered the panel to the Soft Succulent card front.

Lastly, I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Divine Night

I like this clean and simple Christmas card. It includes two die cuts and one heat embossed phrase. The background can easily be water-colored. If the designer series paper is unavailable, simply change it. Do you like it? Express yourself in the comments below. 

Stamps:

   Night Divine

Paper:

   Boho Blue A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 2 x 3

   Copper Clay 5 x 4

   O Holy Night DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Embossing Buddy

   Gold Embossing Powder

   Night Divine Dies

   Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the stable, using Copper Clay cardstock and the Night Divine Dies. I set it aside.

I then die cut the nativity scene, using Basic Black and the Night Divine Dies.

I then used the embossing buddy on the center of the DSP panel. This helps to keep the embossing powder in place and off the surrounding area.

 

Next, I placed the die cuts on the DSP panel and more or less made note of where to place the sentiment. 

Using Gold Metallic ink, I stamped, applied gold embossing powder, and heat set the sentiment.

Next, I adhered the die cut images onto the DSP panel. I then adhered the panel to a Basic Black matte, and then on to a Boho Blue card front.

Lastly, I added a star trinket to the top of the stable and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I then stamped and die cut the tree, using Shaded Spruce ink and In the Woods Framelits. I used the 3 x 4 piece.

Next, I die cut the top edge of the glimmer paper using the framelit from the set. I adhered this onto the bottom of the stamped white panel.

I attached the tree using dimensionals.

I then stamped the sentiment on the 2 x 2-3/4 Basic White piece, using Merry Merlot ink. I punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch and sponged it with a bit of Merry Merlot ink. This was adhered to the top right of the panel, using my favorite adhesive.

I then adhered this panel onto an Early Espresso matte, and then onto the Merry Merlot card front.

Lastly, I added a few iridescent rhinestones, and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
