Another Quickie Holiday Card


Here's another quickie holiday card suitable for production line assembly. The background was created using Brilliance Dewdrop (mini) inkpads applied direct-to-paper to white cardstock. Use rounded end to apply spots of Rocket Red, then add spots of Pearlescent Poppy. Use a swirling motion to apply Rocket Red Gold all over to blend colors. Heat Set. Run thru Cuttlebug using D'Vine Swirl embossing folder. Lightly rub/pat raised surface with Galaxy Gold ink. Create shaped top folded card using Bazzill medium-light red cardstock and Spellbinders Labels Eight. Cut background layer with smaller Labels Eight and attach to card. Stamp Merry Christmas Snowflake from Quietfire Design on light pink cardstock using Brilliance Rocket Red Gold inkpad. Cut out using Spellbinders Labels Three and attach to card as shown.


Stamp Season's Greetings saying from Quietfire Design on light pink cardstock using VersaMark inkpad and gold embossing powder. Cut out using Spellbinders Labels Three and attach to inside of card.
