Hi S|ylvia here with one of my Christmas cards made this week. I have used traditional colours on a white background with computer generated printed sentiments as this is a personalised card. I stamped and embossed a star in the center of the card, added two snowflakes, three different coloured wreaths, a ribbon and small snowflake. Small pearl domes were added and a little glitter to the small snowflake.

White 137gsm paper and Christmas red pearlised papers were used for the insert. The white paper is a great weight for inserts, it is a soft paper ideal for printing and writing on. The pearlised Christmas red, from the great selection of pearlised card and papers, give a beautiful contrast to the inside of the card.

Materials used:

• Papermilldirect white linen, intensive red plain 210gsm, billiard green plain 210gsm, buff smooth 260gsm, white paper 137gsm and Christmas red lustre print silver 120gsm paper
• IndigoBlu stamp - Twinkle Star
• Stampendus Stardust embossing powder
• Penny Black die - Whirl Wreath
• Memory Box die - Giavanna Snowflake
• X-Cut die -Mini Snowflakes
• white pearl domes from stash
• ribbon from stash
