Spellbinders and blue Santa Card

This is another piece of my German Scrap. It uses iridescent blue paper, gold mirror card, Core'dinations white pearl card stock, and Hot Off the Press snowflake paper which I bought years ago.

The blue outline was done with Jellyroll pens. The pearls are Queen & Co and the gold outline stickers were bought years ago at a dollar store. The top layers were mounted with dimensional tape.

German Scrap and Anna Griffin Christmas Tree Card

This is another card made from my German Scrap and Anna Griffin pine cone paper. The card also uses gold mirror card and Queen & Co. pearls. The holly leaves are from some stickers I bought at a dollar store years ago.

Spellbinders Santa with Little Girl Card

This is another of my German scrap Santas. It is mounted on Bazill green linen textured card stock. The center was cut and embossed in my Grand Calibur using Spellbinders labels four. I don't remember what company made the poinsettia paper, the gold is gold mirror card, and everything is mounted on an off white note card. The central motif is mounted with dimensional tape. The pearls are Queen & Co.

Spellbinders and German Scrap Christmas Card

I've been looking through my German Scrap sheets lately and found this really pretty one. I mounted it on victorian green metallic cs, and mounted that on gold mirror card. The gold is reflecting the green in the photo. I guess my phone's camera and the Picassa editor don't do the best job with colors!

These were all mounted onto a Core'dinations Pearl cardstock which I cut with my Grand Calibur. I added Queen&Co pearls and added some pearl colored stickles to the snow, and gold to parts of the horses fancy stuff and the nutcracker's hat.

Anna Griffin and Spellbinders Christmas Card

This is the second card I made from the Anna Griffin set. The red isn't bright like this in person.

I hadn't used these cards before because I was never happy with anything I tried on them. Today I was looking through my German Scrap and decided this Santa was perfect for one of the AG cards. I found a coppery red pearlescent card stock which was almost exactly the shade of the red on the card, and luckily one of my off white sheets was almost exactly the color of the craft stock the card is printed on. The coppery red one is actually a very subtle pearlescent, not bright like it looks in the photograph.

I cut the two pieces of CS on my Grand Calibur using label Four and mounted the santa on those, then used dimensional tape to apply that and the Anna Griffin label to the card. The label looks gray with white, but it is really cream colored with metallic gold lettering and border. It's funny how different metallic things look to the camera than they do to the naked eye.
