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.

<a href="http://www.inpairemepapers.co.uk/register">Register</a> now and you can download these wonderful Christmas card making design templates.

The folded card featured in both designs is <a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/product/?prod_desc_id=598">White Gold Dust, embroidery embossed</a>. 

The Christmas tree, and caption were printed onto <a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/category/?category_id=101&range_id=302&">Shimmer Silver</a> 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 ‘<a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/product/?prod_desc_id=103">Strawberry Red’ silkweave embossed</a>’ card but the design looks equally stunning on our ‘<a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/product/?prod_desc_id=758">Bright Red’ soft touch folded card</a> from the Innovations Collection.

The Christmas star design uses a pink insert to the design, made from <a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/product/?prod_desc_id=966">Fuchsia Pearl</a> 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 Lauren - who has sent us samples of her stunning 'designer look' wedding invites.
Lauren wanted a small but contemporary touch of black added to her dress and stationery, to give her traditional wedding a twist.

Lauren chose our 150mm sq <a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/category/?category_id=102&range_id=303&sub_category_id=511">Black Pearl Folded Cards</a> and had the caption foil blocked in white with the help of a local printer.
<img alt="soulmates_02sm.jpg" src="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/blog/soulmates_02sm.jpg" width="472" height="236" />
She then digitally printed her RSVP invitation on a 'tip in' sheet to fit inside the invite.

To complete the invite and hold in the 'tip in' page - Lauren then added a sparkling diamante 'ring' threaded with a fine white ribbon. 

The luxury look was ]]>
      <![CDATA[topped off by popping the black invite into a  square White Gold Dust envelopes with Fine Thread Embossing.

We wish Lauren and Steve a fabulous day.

The <a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/category/?category_id=101&range_id=303&sub_category_id=511">Fuchsia Pearl</a> and <a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/category/?category_id=101&range_id=303&sub_category_id=511">Black Pearl</a> sheets  were inspired by exquisite fabric textures. Both colours feature the same delicate 3 leaf embroidery embossing, which reveals its charming texture when caught in the light.

Use them on there own or as part of a design to add a simple touch of beauty to your next project.

The same Embroidery embossing can be found on sheets within our <a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/category/?category_id=101&range_id=302">metallic</a> and <a href="http://www.inspiremepapers.co.uk/category/?category_id=101&range_id=301">pastel</a> collections, allowing you to co-ordinate your design with softer colours.

Not just because it's also her 6th birthday, but because she's having a scary Halloween party!

Mummy thought our new paper chain pack would make some scary decorations to hang up in her bedroom for the party.
So Bibi and her sister sat down to spend a very quiet couple of hours making up several meters...!

Mummy has also downloaded our Halloween Party invites to send out to her fellow party goers. Other than a pumpkin, scary fairy cakes
and a few broomsticks - she's now ready to get trick or treating.

Now Bibi can't wait for Halloween, and keeps walking around the house in her paper chains - 
shouting and moaning. 'No change there then', says mummy!

Watch out for her post party pic - mummy has promised us a shot of Bibi and several other little screaming banshee's
letting rip...

Thanks to Inspire Me member Sharon.

PS.

If you have any seasonally ghostly paper ideas, we'd love to hear from you.]]>
