Twelve Days of Christmas – Day 10

We’re zipping right along on my Twelve Days of Christmas Tour! Today I’m breaking out the hot foil machine to give our Christmas cards a little golden shine. You know I can’t resist a bit of shimmer, and I can’t wait to show you how the gold catches the light!

I chose Very Vanilla, Peaceful Pine, and gold for an elegant Christmas color combination.

The card on the left has a clean and simple layout that lets the gold details shine. I used the foil die to add the arched greeting, a little gold “tinsel” on the tree, and a star on top. Then I stamped the tree right over the foil with Peaceful Pine ink and used the arched die from the bundle to cut out the finished panel.

I loved the Very Vanilla, Peaceful Pine, and gold combination on the first card, so I ran with it! For this version, I added more trees and a few golden deer inside the arch to create a little woodland scene.

I made the greeting with the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies. My favorite part? You foil all the greetings in one pass, then cut them all out at once. I picked one for this card and now have extras ready to go for my next projects! The little extra stars from this die was added to the sky.

Supplies:

Join me tomorrow on my Twelve Days of Christmas Tour as we swap the gold foil for silver! I can’t wait to show you how a little silver shine changes the look of a Christmas card.

Happy Stamping!
