Christmas Cards Using Your Stash, Part 2

 *This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp.



Hey everyone!  I have another Christmas card today featuring some older products from my stash.  

This Rustic Snowflake stencil creates a big impact with very minimal effort.

I rarely do this, but I stenciled the snowflake directly onto my card base using gold embossing paste.

I love the look of the gold on the soft gray.

For the sentiment, I used the CZ Merry and Bright die.  I stacked three red die cuts together, and then clear embossed the entire piece three times to get that really glossy puffy look.  The only hitch with this is that embossing gives the cardstock a darker look.  Next time, I'll start with a lighter red, or even a pink, so that the finished piece is brighter.


The sentiment was adhered directly to my card base.

I debated adding some extra bling in the form of sequins or clear drops, but opted to stick with a cleaner more modern look.

Hope you like it!
