Christmas photo card using Crayon rubbed embossing

Sometimes it's nice at Christmas time to send your loved ones a card with a family photo on it. This is a card that we made at a recent workshop which was quite a quick and simple card to do. We used the crayon rubbed embossing technique which I found a tutorial for here. And then cut the piece into a Top note shape using the Big shot die. Apart from that little process the rest of the card was very simple and straightforward!
The colours used are Whisper white, Real red and Old olive.
I hope this gives you a little bit of inspiration for your Christmas cards this year :)
Happy Stamping!
Love, Claire

Christmas card production line!

Good morning girls!!

As promised, here is a little piccie of the cards that my sister and I have mass produced for her clients! We made 80 in all and actually Laura is yet to finish putting them all together as we just ran out of time at the end of her stay (truth be told, sushi and shopping took priority!).

We used items from the Delightful decorations bundle to make this card - that includes the Ornament punch, Delightful decorations stamp set and the Old olive ribbon from the free ribbon bundle, Mistletoe originals. The colours used are Cherry cobbler and Old olive on a Whisper white base. The Old olive stamped decoration is actually stamped on the inside of the card and the card front has had the decoration shape punched out to form a little window. The sentiment comes from the Welcome Christmas stamp set and is stamped in Early espresso ink. We also used the Perfect polkadots embossing folder to achieve the polkadot pattern on the Cherry cobbler cardstock.

Don't forget that the Dress up Christmas Promotion where you can qualify for free ribbons runs out on November 30th. Contact me if you'd like to order any of these gorgeous bundles with free ribbon before then.

Happy stamping! Love, Claire
