Christmas in the air?

I had the pleasure of working with the Pears and Baubles A4 stamp plate from Chocolate Baroque as part of the Design Team. This is stamp of the month for September over on the website, so grab a bargain asap! These stamps have such a gorgeous luxurious feel and are fantastic teamed with some decadent designer papers, if you can bear to cut into your stash! I made a couple of cards that were quite quick to make, but still feel special enough for those people you want to spoil!

I used an 8 x 8 kraft card as my base, added a foiled K and Co paper and embossed three baubles in gold on burgundy pearl card. Added some ribbons, a blousy bow and an embossed sentiment. Simple!

The next card took a supreme act of self sacrifice to cut into the gorgeous paper.

Once again I added baubles embossed in teal metallic EP on teal pearl card. I added organza ribbons for a softer look on this card and an embossed sentiment.

Lastly, I embossed lots of the mistletoe leaves and decoupaged them to make a bunch of mistletoe.

I coloured the leaves with Distress Markers and added pearls for berries. I mounted the mistletoe on an oval panel, backed it all onto a dry embossed snowflake panel and added a sentiment, and gingham ribbon to finish.

That's three cards into the Christmas pile!

Thanks for popping by!
