Two Christmas Cards

 These two cards were made using the December Stamp Of The Month from Close To My Heart (CTMH).  The Papers used are from Hobby Lobby collections.  

This first collection I was playing with some embossing pens for my first time.  I used gold, silver and black embossing powders, I also used some Stickles.  The gold strips are 3/16" Gold Sequin ribbon from CTMH (currently on clearance until gone).  I did a double flap fold.





This second card the sentiment was from a previous stamp of the month.  No embossing just used stickles and glossy accents.


Thanks for looking!

Karen, what a cute Christmas card with the car in the snow globe! Very clever to add the stickles for the snow in the globe, and the glossy accents to add sheen!! Thank you for sharing your card with us at The Male Room for our masculine December challenge!!! -Donna
