A Christmas Card with non-traditional colours and suitable for a masculine recipient

I've chosen to use the very beautiful Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper and have taken my colours from the paper.

I cut the Floral Frames label from Early espresso cardstock to give a deep, rich colour for the copper foil to glow against.  I had cut the Tranquil Tide foliage for a different card but stole it for this one!

I stamped the greetings onto Gray Granite offcuts with Early Espresso ink, cut them out with the frame dies in the coordinating die set that comes with the Merry Christmas To All Bundle and then added some gorgeous copper shimmer to the edges with paintbrush and the new Copper Shimmer Paint.  I also added some of the White Frost Shimmer Paint to the foliage.

I cut the word "Merry" from the die set in both Gray Granite and Copper Foil Sheet and off-set them when I adhered them to the card.  TIP:  placing Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet on the back of the cardstock before die-cutting makes it much easier to adhere fiddly pieces such as this!

Products I've used from the Holiday Catalogue:
Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper
Merry Christmas To All Bundle (stamp set and dies)
Shimmer Paint - Frost White
Shimmer Paint - Bright Copper

The Holiday Catalogue sales period will be  5 September 2018 to 2 January 2019. If you live in Australia, don't currently have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and would like your own copy of the catalogue full of amazing products and beautiful inspiration, contact me.

Thank you so much for joining us today and we hope you'll join us again next month when we'll be presenting 3D projects! I'm Stephanie Fischer and to keep hopping around see the list below to see who is up next with another great project.

Thanks for visiting
'Til next time
