Postcards at Christmas

Morning Friends and Crafters, Christmas Is such a busy time for us all. A lot of us just don't always have time to make our card's throughout the year, I started off with good intentions, but as always life takes over. Having an embossing folder, that can do all the work for you, is fantastic. This 3D Embossing folder is they answer to all of our prayers, it's perfect for batch card making, so here are 3 very fast cards.

You will Need:
Dear Santa Embossing Folder
Black Card
Tim Holtz Black Kraft Core'Dinations 
Aged Mahogany Core'Dinations Card
Pebeo Gilding Wax (selection of colours)
Matt and Layers
Adhesives

Step 1: Cut your card to size, 5 x 7'' and emboss with the design.

Step 2: Just look at the wonderful detail this folder gives you.

Step 3: To this card, add gilding wax to add even more detail and bring out the depth and dimension. Red and Gold so so well together.

Step 4: Add a ribbon and some Mistletoe to finish the look and add your mat and layers.


Step 5: Here is the Kraft Core'Dinations, just sanded back and polished with the polishing cloth.

Step 6: Here is the black card, simply finished off with the gilding wax again to really show of the details.

Here are the finished cards just waiting for a little embellishment.


Thank you for popping by today. I hope you have enjoyed these little time savers, they are especially great for people you have forgotten. Another thing, here is a 30% off voucher to use on your first order (anything) from Hochanda, use code FEY5JBP7.

I hope to see you again very soon, For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xxx
