Since October is almost here it is time to start showcasing Christmas/Holiday cards and projects. Today I am sharing with you a fun card that was created by using a sketch found on page 22 of the 2024-2025 Stampin' Up! catalog. I am using the new Hang an Ornament Bundle, from the September - December 2024 Mini Catalog, with the online exclusive Season of Green and Gold designer series paper to create an elegant Christmas/Holiday card.
Since there is gold in the patterned paper I decided to break out and use, for the very first time, the gold Wow! Metallic Embossing powder. Let me tell you, now I know why "Wow!" is in the title of the product. It is amazing embossing powder. I don't regret buying it and know I will be using it and the silver alot this season.
The card base is Cherry Cobbler with the green and gold paper cut into 1/2" wide strips. The ornament was also die cut out of Cherry Cobbler so that it would pop against the green and gold paper. Check out the dimensions below.
