I am just in time to play in this months CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Decorations!
Thank you Cathy for hosting a fun Challenge.
It has been such a busy month at home harvesting our amazing veggie/berry garden.
I have had to squeeze in all my card making and posting...like today😊
I did get to create 8 backgrounds a few days ago using 3D Embossing Folders on
and friends have been creating. Be sure and click on the links for samples!!!
My card using my beautiful shiny SU Silver Foil Cardstock background.
I Dry Embossed the SU Silver Foil with SU Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and
then sanded with a sanding block to give the background more shine.
I will be making more cards in the future using the 7 more backgrounds😊
Next die cut the background with Reverse Confetti "Lacy Scallop Frame".
Then stamped with Versamark the STAMPlorations "Warm Hands and Warm Hearts"
decorated packages image and the sentiment from the set using MISTI.
Then heat embossed them with Ranger Princess Gold EB Powder, which I LOVE!
It is a true gold! Then used CUTplorations "Warm Hands and Warm Hearts" Die to
die cut the image and popped up with SU regular and Mini Dimensionals.
I fussy cut the sentiment and popped up.
Added the main image to SU Basic White 100# Card Base and Done!
Loved the result and it was truly a QCAS card just in time for the end of the Challenge😃
Now sharing a photo of the beautiful texture and shine! Enjoy....
Thank you again Cathy for your wonderful challenge.
Love and Hugs...

I love a bit of sparkle and shine on a Christmas card. This is wonderful xx
ReplyDeleteThe shine is awesome! I love that Subtle e/f and sanding it really gave it a glow. Just a gorgeous card.
ReplyDeletelove that subtle texture effect in silver, such a beautiful card Nancy ♥
ReplyDeleteYou did get in right under the wire and with such a pretty, shimmery card! Loving all the gold and silver. I have been loving the Princess Gold, too. I know you've been very busy with the garden. 'Tis the season, right? Enjoy the bounty!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to use that embossing folder on foil, Nancy, but I love the subtle texture it gives - hence the name I'm sure. lol The gold embossed packages and sentiment fit right in.
ReplyDeleteLove the silver background with the embossing, sanding, and die cut border - what a great background for the image and sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite embossing folder and I love how the sanding seems to bring out more of the shine! Such a pretty Christmas card! I wish you could Zoom with us.
ReplyDeleteI would Love to Zoom with you girls, but I do not have a strong enough satellite connection...one of the few negatives of living in the country:-) I sure do learn from the new techniques you girls are trying. Thank you so much, my friend. Love and Hugs...P.S. I thought of you the entire time I was creating the 3D Subtle EB Folder background:-)
DeleteLove all of the shimmery texture Nancy and the border is so pretty, gorgeous CAS card, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteSo pretty in the silver and gold Nancy! LOVE that sled full of presents!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous foil background you created, Nancy! I was wondering what the SU subtle embossing would look on foil cardstock last weekend, and now I know it! And I LOVE it!!😊
ReplyDeleteThe princess gold heat-embossed image and sentiment are so pretty! You caught the beautiful shine and embossed texture so well in the picture.
I'm so happy to see this beautiful card in the CAS Christmas gallery.
Looking forward to seeing more of foil background cards you’re going to make! Hugs.. Hideko

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Nancy! LOVE the Sublte embossing folder with the foil card stock ... so beautiful! The image and sentiment are so pretty heat embossed in Princess Gold (love that yellow gold!). Great work fussy-cut the sentiment which matches the image perfectly. Love the dotty framing! xx
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like texture and shine on a holiday card, and you have totally out-done yourself with this beauty, Nancy! I love how you turned this into a really special Christmas card...WOW! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at CAS Christmas!
