The folded card featured in both designs is White Gold Dust, embroidery embossed.

The Christmas tree, and caption were printed onto Shimmer Silver card, and then mounted onto a White Gold Dust, embroidery embossed folded card using small sticky pads. We’ve also used the same design on a ‘Strawberry Red’ silkweave embossed’ card but the design looks equally stunning on our ‘Bright Red’ soft touch folded card from the Innovations Collection.

The Christmas star design uses a pink insert to the design, made from Fuchsia Pearl embroidery embossed card, which beautifully compliments the White Gold Dust folded card.

A special thank you to Cherie Zamazing for the fabulous Christmas illustrations, and Sharon De Meza for the snowflake card concept.

Many thanks to Inspire Me contributor Val, who has sent us some fabulous traditional card designs using papers from our elegant Metallic and Vintage Pastels Collections
...and then adding her own fabulous 3D icons and 'blind' emboss effects.

All designs are made on 150mm sq folded card. The 'blind' embossing details were created by gently scouring the lines on the reverse of the card using rulers and templates.
