Welcome back! I missed you. I had a very lovely but busy weekend with friends and family.
I am happy to be back in the Studio. Today, I am playing with Inkspirational (#303) for a Season, and I chose Christmas; As You Can See It (#312) for a Holiday themed card; CAS Colours & Sketches (#525) for the Colors and the Style; and Shopping Our Stash (#509) for the suggested technique.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Boho Blue cardstock.
- Focal Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White Thick cardstock.
- The Holly Berry Spray image from the Joy of Noel stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Silver Embossing Powder.
- The image was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Colors chosen: Light Real Red, Mossy Meadow and Boho Blue.
- Using my Big Shot Die Cutting / Embossing Machine and the companion Embossing Mats along with the Elongated Hexagon Stitched die from the Sentimental Park Dies set, the Holly Berry Spray was dry-embossed with a Frame.
- The sentiment, may this season of sparkle bring joy and delight, from the Magical Meadow stamp set was stamped with Boho Blue ink.
- For seasonal sparkle, several Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added.
A delightful little Christmas card that is very clean and simple (CAS), yet striking with the small embossed details.
Thanks for spending some of your time with me today. Cheers, Jolanda!

This is very pretty, Jolanda! Boho Blue works really well in this Christmas card. I really like the way you’ve used the die to spotlight the Christmas bough. It’s a restrained and elegant design. Thanks for joining us again at As You See It.

I love the effect of the embossed silver outline and the blues, greens and reds of the image. Using the die to emboss a frame is a great option as well! Thanks for playing along at As You See It Challenges!
