I have another quick and simple card to share with you today...
I used Poppystamps Noel Snowflake die and die cut it once in gold mirror cardstock, once in silver cardstock and cut off just the snowflake to glue over the gold snowflake, and then die cut twice from white cardstock just to add some dimension and sturdiness to this very fragile die cut. (Have you all discovered Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue yet?? It has a precision tip that never seems to clog and is just perfect for gluing fine die cuts together...it has been one of my greatest finds of 2021!!)
I dry embossed a snowflake background using SU!'s Winter Snow ef, and then matted it with a piece of gold mirror cardstock, and then attached both layers to a top folding white card base. I added a single silver metallic pearl (PFS) to the center of my snowflake, and this card was finished.
You have until the 24th to play along with this challenge, and if you need some inspiration, check out what the talented DT came up with using SILVER & GOLD right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Stunning, Marcia! Love the simplicity and elegance of this card!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, so beautiful with the snowflake background and your mirror die cuts in gold and silver. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite kind of a CAS Christmas card, Marcia! I love the simplicity of your design and how you played with the silver and gold color palette...simply stunning ~ xx
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and peaceful!
ReplyDeleteThe gold border draws the eye right in to the embossed panel with the lovely die cut sentiment and snowflake. A truly beautiful card, Marcia. And yes, I adore the Bearly Arts glue.

Love your delicate snowflake hanging from the noel, Marcia! Beautiful! Wonderful texture from your dry embossed background. xx
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so elegant, Marcia! I love how you've stacked the die cuts, the narrow gold frame and the embossing! I love it all! Thanks for the tip on the glue.
ReplyDeleteWe were dumped on with a foot and a half of snow last night, Marcia and none of it is as lovely as yours!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Marcia, your embossed background is the perfect frame for your die cut sentiment with the star ♥
ReplyDeleteWow Marcia, this is stunning! What a CAS beauty with both silver and gold. The embossed background is the perfect background for the snowflake charm. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteSo elegant and so very pretty Marcia. Thank you for the tip about the bear glue...I haven't heard of it so off to investigate x.
ReplyDeleteWell I ech everything that Mac said... So elegant and yes I too will check out that glue!
ReplyDeleteI just love the embossed snowflakes behind your beautiful Noel die cut with the pretty snowflake hanging down from it Marcia. The gold framing really defines the panel! Thanks for the tip on that glue - I'm always trying to find something that doesn't clog after the first use! xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card, Marcia! The embossed snowflakes elegantly echo the die-cut snowflake. The shine of the gold mirror matte and sentiment is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue! I saw it on Jennifer McGuire's video some time ago, but I was not convinced at that time. Now with your comment on the product, I'll definitely buy it. :-)

CAS-tacular, Marcia. The shine of the mirri cardstock and embossed background are perfect together.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the glue, but will have to check it out especially since you’ve recommended it. 😉
This is a lovely CAS design Marcia, love the dual tone snowflake and the shiny frame. I must check out the glue as what I use clogs up regularly! TFS Cathy x
