On this first one, the tree was first stamped with Versamark, then gold embossing powder was poured on, shaking the excess off and using the heat gun. A tiny clear rhinestone sticker was used on the star. I made 8 of these cards, 2 of each design. There is a tiny strip of gold shiny paper between the 2 layers and the tree is popped up.This is a 5 1/2 inch square card. The image was cut from one of the pages in this paper pad and popped up.
A very simple card. I used a retired Stampin Up set for this card. It is white on white with a layer of red shiny cardstock. The image was stamped in black ink and left uncolored...nothing else was added to the card other than a sentiment on the inside from the same stamp set. I made 20 of these. It was a perfect card for mass production.
The image was cut from the paper pad I used for this card and popped up. I used a red spica glitter pen on the red in the image. There is a layer of the gold paper behind it, and a thin gold strip between the 2 layers.
This is another 5 1/2 inch square card...ivory card base, paper, another ivory layer, a gold layer and the image was cut from the paper pad.
Different paper with the embossed tree. The paper used on these cards is from a My Minds Eye pad called "Lost & Found Christmas". The colors of the papers are browns and burgundys with some red. I love this pad and used a lot from it.
There is a strip of crocheted ribbon underneath the image which is popped up. This turned out really nice. I tried to make 2 cards of each image and layout.

The image is a clipboard tag that I popped up and added a ribbon on the corner.

I love this card...probably my favorite...I used a tag from the paper pad and added ribbon.
A clipboard tag was used with some ribbon.
This is so precious.
I made a total of 47 cards, far less than I have made in previous years. I also reduced the list significantly. I used these paper pads: Kaiser Craft "December 25th", Melissa Frances "Deck the Halls", My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found Christmas", Graphic 45 "Christmas Emporium" and Christmas Past. These papers are Victorian Christmas papers and clipboard tags. I really love these papers. I also used some paper and tags from K&Company "Elizabeth Brownd's Vision of Christmas", and tags from Kaiser Craft "December 25th".
I am glad I decided to try something different for cards this year. They all turned out fantastic and hope those that received any of these like them too. :)
