Glittered Christmas Cards by Sue Smyth

 

Red Robin Glittered Christmas Card 


Today I am sharing a sweet little card made with Couture Creations Vintage Christmas paper pad 

Cut out a small A 5 card and trim off one edge with a punch
Emboss Kraft cardstock with Moonlit Berries Wrapped in Joy C0723596
Dry brush with gesso and allow to dry.
Ink with green ink and paint in the berries with a cotton bud and Inka Gold red metallic paint
Adhere to card front. 


Cut Scallop Circle from white cardstock with
and then the reverse of the robin paper from the pack with
fussy cut robin and place over scallop and circle as pictured.
finally apply a red bow along with  
and
as pictured 

Handy Hint if you love glitter like I do, lastly spray the entire card lightly with a paper 
varnish and sprinkle with white glitter. This is a really great way to hide any mistakes lol.
 
 
 



Glittered Christmas Greeting Card 



Today I have created a Christmas cards with Couture Creations 5 x 7 embossing folder  C0723597

This matches some of the images in the Couture Creations Vintage Christmas paper pad C0723551
So I have combined both to create a card with dimension 


Emboss Kraft cardstock with Christmas Carols embossing folder 
and gently rub over red ink


Dry brush edges with gesso.
Then rub with Inka Gold red metallic paste.
Adhere to a 5 x 7 red cardstock card

Trim out matching image from Vintage Christmas pack.
Use a crackle stamp to create crackle and swipe over with Dimensional magic, allow to dry 
Matt with red cardstock 
Adhere to card front with 3 D foam tape.
Decorate as desired with bakers twine and punched leaves and 
Couture creations gems 

Handy Hint use a white paint pen to fill in detail in images and faux stitching 

Lastly spray the entire card lightly with a paper varnish and sprinkle over white glitter. For
a glittery sparkle.
