CAS Christmas September Challenge - merry christmas

Hi everyone,

We're already halfway through September. Have you started preparing your Christmas cards?

I'm here with a reminder card for the CAS Christmas September Challenge. The challenge for this month is ...



And here's my card:



[How I made the card]

1. Glued plaid paper to cardstock and die-cut holly leaves and berries. Added Crystal Glaze to the berries for shine.

2. Dry embossed a piece of green cardstock and die-cut a holly leaf from it.

3. Hot foiled the frame and the sentiment on the card front.

4. Adhered the holly leaves and berries to the front.




You have until September 24th. Looking forward to seeing your card in the gallery!

    CAS Perfection, my friend!!! Love your die cut plaid holly leaves and the dry embossed holly leaf. Adding Christal Glaze gave the plaid die cut berries a beautiful shine:-) Then your hot foiled framing adding a bit of elegance to your beautiful plaid card. TFS Hideko and sharing your steps.

    Love the plaid in the two of the holly leaves and those cute little berries and a fun idea to just dry emboss just the one. The gold looks so elegant and what a fantastic CAS Christmas card Hideko x.

    This hot foiling brings this card up a notch, beautiful. The plaid theme is so well played in this design, adding the dry embossed accent really gives dimension. Love it! Jo xx
