Hey everyone! Happy Friday! Let the weekend begin with a final sneak peek of our Quick ‘n Easy Christmas Card class tomorrow.

Isn’t this an elegant card? I cased this from another demo, and now I can’t find the original post to give her credit. I loved the gold and white on her card but I did change it up a little. That is the beauty of casing a card, you can copy exactly, or put your spin on it.

This is created using the Thick Whisper White card stock cut at 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. I took a 2″ x 4″ piece of the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate and added a 3/4″ strip of Gold Foil paper to it. I used some of the Mini Glue Dots to adhere it to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of regular Whisper White. That acetate is gorgeous, one side is gold and the other is silver so you could go either way with this card. I then added three sprigs of Always Artichoke branches, Early Espresso pine cone, and Gold Foil bow cut with the Pretty Pines Thinlets. I used glue dots to attach them all together and attached it to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set is stamped in Early Espresso. To top off the bow, I added a gold enamel dot from the Metallic Enamel Dots set. Once that was all adherred, I added dimensionals to the layer and adherred it to the card base. Just a clean and simple card.

If you would like to purchase any or all of these supplies, head over to my online store here to place your order. When you use Hostess Code E3HDGQDU, I will send you a pack of handmade cards with envelopes all ready to use, and if your order is $50.00 or more, I’ll include some bling. We always could use more bling!

I hope you have a great evening and I thank you for stopping by.
