"Christmas Cards"
with
Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely creative peeps, 
Hope you are having a wonderful & creative day, for today I have two Christmas cards to share with you and I used some of the amazing chipboard pieces 2Crafty Chipboard offers.
 Enjoy this post.....

Card 1: December 2024  

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
 Berry Vine Set
Card Xmas Baubles
Fine Word Set ~ Months
2024's



I just love making cards that are non traditional in colors so that is what I did here. For this card I altered the "Berry Vine Set" with spray paint without adding gesso first and then I added some lighter green acrylic paint with a sponge.


On the "Card Xmas Baubles" I added some black embossing powder on the hanging part but you can't see that anymore because I added flowers on top of that. But on the baubles I added some Christmas balls from the collage ephemera book {Christmas Fairies} 


That cute little fairy is also from that book, the word december & 2024 are treated with embossing powders both two layers and one n a two tone style. 


Card 2: Christmas Memories

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Dangling Merry Christmas Sign
Cherished Family Memories
Circle Dot Frames
Merry Christma Fine Card Pack


The "Circle Dot Frame" is treated with two layers of embossing powder in a green color. 
For this card I did use the traditional colors which is also fun to do....


For the dangling part from the "Merry Christmas Sign" I treated that one with a ink pad after I first added two layers of white gesso. I also did that with the word Christmas. The word memories is cut apart from the phrase "cherished family memories" and is treated with green metallique wax. 

 Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project hope to see you back then....
