Christmas Card With Embossed Winter Motifs

Brrr, it is icy and wintry outdoors but the low temperatures will not even get noticed while making Christmas and winter cards in your warm home. This card is perfect for the winter season - whether as a Christmas card or as a birthday card for someone with a winter birthday. Just change the greeting to fit the occasion.

Embossing white images give any card a look of wintery elegance.

For this project you will need:

- 1 blank white card
- white, silver and silver metallic cardstock
- snowflake paper punch, snowflake peel-off stickers or Fiskars 3-in-1 corner punch with snowflakes
- decorative edged scissors
- white pigment stamp pad
- silver embossing powder
- clear stamp or rubber stamp with message
- two small clear gems
- jewel glue or other strong glue to glue on gems
- long brass metal template with a winter scene such as the one in the picture
- embossing tool or embossing machine to emboss brass metal template
- heating tool to heat embossing powder
- double sided adhesive or stick glue

Instructions:

1. Emboss the brass template and cut the image to almost fit the width of the card.
2. Glue the embossed strip onto metallic silver card and cut out with a small border on all sides. The width should now be the same as the width of the card.
3. Now glue the embossed strip onto silver cardstock and cut using decorative edged scissors and a border of about 5 mm. Once this is cut out, you can adhere it to the card.
4. Stamp “Seasons Greetings” or message of your choice onto white cardstock. Shake embossing powder over it and tap off the excess. Heat with embossing tool to set the powder. Now cut out the message in a rectangle form.
5. Glue the message on silver metallic card and cut out with a small border. Glue a gem to each of the top right corners. Now glue the message onto the card.
6. Punch out a couple of snowflakes out of the silver metallic paper and adhere to the card.
