Hi guys! I’ve got a pretty little blue and bright red Christmas card today, I made this one using Waffle Flower products from the Christmas in July (2022) release!

I started by foiling with the Random Dots Foil plate using Glimmer Skybright foil on Neenah 110lb. Classic Crest cardstock. I grabbed some pretty blue Pinkfresh inks, Sky Blue, Summer Shower and just a little Seaside to ink blend from dark to light towards the middle. Leaving the center white where the sentiment was going to go.

I die cut out the Pine Branch Panel die and inked it up with the same blue ink, leaving some of the branches white. I die cut some additional pine branches to adhere down here and there and added red and white berries using the berry dies that come in the die set. Some of the red berries got some glue and glitter on them, it’s hard to see in the photograph but very pretty in person.

I stamped, clear heat embossed and die cut out my Merry Christmas sentiment using Waffle Flower’s Merry Christmas Duo stamp and die set, then popped it up in the middle of the card with foam tape. I ended up making both a silver bow and a red velvet bow and adhered them both down because… (I honestly couldn’t decide which one to use so I used them both!)

I added some iridescent snowflake bling (Studio Katia Iridescent Ice Flakes) that I placed here and there and I was done!

I hope some of these design choices have inspired you to make something new today! Thanks so much for coming by!
