Today I am featuring two fun cards using the Argyle Socks embossing folder from the new Gnome for Christmas Collection. One card uses some new products while the other features an older die set. I know it is hard to see the embossing in the photos, but it really is a beautiful design that can be used year round! I have chosen to show off two Christmas cards. I hope you like them. As always, all the products used are listed below.
For the first card, I started with an A2 card base to which I added a mat of green glittered cardstock. I then embossed a piece of red cardstock using the argyle socks embossing folder and attached it to the card. Then I decided to use an older die set from last year called shopping spree. This cute elf was created using the same green glittered cardstock for his coat and the stripes on his stockings. I made the gold buttons using mirrored gold cardstock.
All the packages were cut from different printed cardstock to look like wrapped packages. The ribbon and bows were cut from mirrored fold cardstock. He was mounted onto the card front using foam squares so that his legs swing free. Finally I used the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Plates for the sentiment with gold foil. It was cut and popped up onto the front of the card. Three gold sequins were added as embellishments.
This card was really fun to create! I again started with an A2 cardbase and added a matt of mirror gold cardstock. I then used the embossing folder to again emboss a background piece. These were both attached to the base card. Next I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from red and gold cardstock and centered it on the front. I knew it needed something else, so I added the gnome from the Holly Jolly Gnome die set from the same collection and sat him on the "C" in Christmas. His hat and arms were cut from green glitter paper. Next I added some some Holly and berries from the Holiday Blooms die set using the green glitter foam again. I also used some red glitter paper for the berries. I thought this card came out really cute too. What do you think?
Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the commecns below. Be sure to stop by tomorrow because I will have some more samples of cards made with more of the Spellbinders New Releases.
