Happy New Year to you All!

Good Morning all, well my last post of 2018. Sharing my last Christmas and New Year cards.

The photos don't really do these justice, i used pearlised white card, then a glitter card and then a satin board, so very blingtastic! 

4.4x6" size card.  I cut the first tree layer die from white pearl card, the second tree layer from glitter card, i mounted these onto a matching satin board with foam tape to add some dimension.  I wrapped a vellum strip around the front and then added my sentiments die cut from black card. 

A close up, this one shows the light hitting the satin board better.  This version is reds. 

And a pink version

Not a great photo, this is a purple version

You can just see the purple satin board in the background here.

Bronze version with champagne glitter card, i die cut this sentiment from

 chocolate mirror card

Close up.

These tree backing layering dies cut beautifully but very time consuming poking all the bits out.

Items Used:

Christmas tree layering dies

Concorde & Ninth sentiment dies

Jellybean Glitter Card

Mirri Satin board

White pearl card  - payper box

Vellum

Thank you once again for stopping by and all your support this year.  So its time to wish you all

 A Happy & Healthy New Year! 

Hugs to you all Emmaxxx

Cheers to the New Year!

Good Morning everyone, on the countdown now to the big day. 

Its time for the last challenge of the year over at Cardz4guyz with the theme being

NEW YEAR/NEW BEGINNINGS

So very apt for the time of the year.  I went with making a new year card in black, silver & white

6x6 white cardbase.  I cut panels from frosted patterned silver mirror card, black card and white card to fit the front.  The white panel i embossed with a circle embossing folder, i thought they had the feel of bubbles to go with my champagne glasses.  As i had to extend the patterned i wrapped black twine around the join and attached to the front. Twine bow added on top.

I die cut 2 champagne glasses and the sentiments from silver card, the cheers i die cut again from black card and shadowed them.  I added the banner onto black card and cut around it.  I gently shaped the glasses and attached to the front with glue gel and then arranged my sentiments. 

Just a close up on the sentiments

On this one you can see the frosted pattern in the silver mirror card better.  Not quite as bright as normal silver and adds a bit of interest. 

Items Used:

Concorde & Ninth season of cheer dies

Champagne glass die - magazine freebie

Sizzix embossing folder

Frosted Silver card - payper box

White pearl & black card - payper box

Black waxed cotton twine
