Mix and match embossed Christmas cards

August 12, by Stefanie Girard. Leave a Comment

If you make your own cards you know how it can be addictive. Which, when it comes to card making can come in handy since we all love to send out lots of cards at the holidays. It makes sense to start now in the summer.

For this set I used some of the positive and negative parts of my die cut embossed images to make two different cards. For the holly card I used a recycled cracker box. It embossed like a dream!

For the top card I embossed a manger scene twice. Once on shiny red cardstock and once on red glitter cardstock.

Then I rubbed some gold gilding wax on it to bring out the image.

I die cut a heart shape out of the red glitter with guiding piece.

Then I overlapped it onto the red shiny cardstock.

I die cut the letters to spell “NOEL” and glued them down along the side of the card.

For the card on the left I took the die cut heart from the first card and clued it down to another piece of red shiny cardstock that I embossed using the Crafter’s Companion poinsettia 3-D embossing folder.

Then assembled it onto a gold piece of cardstock.

The third card on the right I embossed a piece of a Triscut box using a Holly embossing folder.

I colored the berries and leaves using Spectrum Noir markers and then added some gold guiding wax on top of the coloring.

I stamped and embossed the phrase Joy and Piece from the Crafter’s Companion Noel stamp set onto a scrap of red glitter paper and die cut a star shape.

To top off the star I ran a small scrap of red organza ribbon through a little star button and glued it all together.

I highly recommend making lots of coordinating elements using the inside and outside shapes from your die cuts to whip up a whole bunch of cards!
