Three Elegant Cards with the December 2022 Card Kit
Hi all! Kristina here! Today I have three cards for you made using the December 2022 Card Kit! The Joy to You and Yours stamp set in the kit is perfect for creating elegant cards. And you can make them fairly quickly, too!
For the first card, I used Merlot Ink to stamp a border around the edge of Schoolhouse Red cardstock with the large foliage image in the stamp set. I also ink blended the edges. then I stamped the two greetings and gold heat embossed them. Super easy!
The second card was created by stamping around the edge of white cardstock, but this time I gold heat embossed the foliage and changed the positioning of the stamped images. I created a ribbon-like greeting area by stamping the greeting in black ink, trimming it out, and then cutting some patterned paper for the vertical ribbon. I also ink blended with Schoolhouse Red ink to make the patterned paper more red.
The third and final card was super simple! I stamped the foliage image in Pine ink on white cardstock. Then I stamped the large Joy label image from the stamp set on Midnight Green cardstock and applied gold embossing powder. I trimmed the label out and adhered it on the card front.
Thanks for stopping by today! You can pick up the December 2022 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe HERE to receive this kit and kits in the future.
