Amy Design Cool Square Frame Christmas Card!

Hi everyone 😊

Today I am sharing another Christmas Card. If you have been a regular visitor to my blog over the years, you will know that I love to make white-on-white Christmas Cards where I combine various dies and embossing folders that (hopefully) creates something elegant. So, here it is:

Probably the hardest thing is taking a good photo!

The dotted dry embossing is an old retired folder called Cuttlebug Kars Snowflake which I have used for many, many years. Even though it is retired, there are so many snowflake embossing folders available these days that you could easily substitute. The 3 deer are an old Memory Box Deer Trio die which is surprisingly still available. The diecut snowy frame is by Amy Design - Cool Square Frame - which I bought at a Craft Show a couple of years ago - and is still available in Australia (not sure about overseas).

I layered them all together then glued them onto a silver glitter cardstock frame which was trimmed to 1/16" using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layers Guides.

The sentiment is from a retired set by My Favorite Things - Starry Christmas. I stamped it using Versarmark Watermark ink and heat-set it using Ranger Silver Super-fine Embossing Powder. It was diecut using a Spellbinders Shapeabilities Labels Trio die - the 2nd largest in the set. This is another set of dies that I use often and have had for well over 10 years.

The silver glitter snowflakes beside the sentiment and above the deer are from my box of diecut and punched snowflakes. I glued them on using Tombow Mono Multi Glue then added a Franceville 2mm Adhesive Crystal Rhinestone to the centres.

Once I had finished the card front, I glued it to a Uniquely Creative Square White Card Base.

Finished size is 5-11/16" x 5-11/16" or 145mm x 145mm.

Thanks for stopping by!
