Pink Christmas cards

Hello my friends! I hope you are having a great day {without allergies;)}. Today I have some not-conventional Christmas cards. When I was planning my project I told myself what not to create something different, to be honest I've never made Pink Christmas cards, but sometimes you need to think outside the box :)
As you know I am a  hostess over at Stamp TV and this week I am challenging my good friends there to "Emboss + Pink"
I created very Clean & Simple cards. I love layers and embellishments (tons), so creating CAS cards is a big challenge for me.
While creating these I immediately thought of the Card Style Challenge over at Moxie Fab World "Clean & Graphic" and Christmas in July Challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room.

Here are my cards!
I did a  lot of embossing, all the images were heat embossed. For the ornament card I stamped the snowflake and die cut circles in different sizes. Then I adhered embroidery thread to create the bows.


 


 Card Recipe:
  • Card stock: Innocent Pink, Layering White, Chocolate Brown (GKD)
  • Stamps: Blessed is the season (GKD)
  • Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa (Tsukineko), Clear Versamak, Pealescent Poppy (Tsukineko)
  • Embellishments: Pink Rhinestones (KaiserCrafts), Pearls (Michael's), Embroidery Thread (DMC), Jute twine (GKD), Red button from Holiday Collection (GKD)
  • Accessories: Label 3 Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Rectangle Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Gold embossing powder, Embossing heat gun, Sponge daubers, Foam tape.
Hope you like it!
Have a great day!

    Lovely non-traditional holiday creations! My favorite color is PINK and I plan on using pink on my Christmas cards this year, so you've given me some head start inspiration here!!! Thanks for sharing your work with us in the Tea Room this week :)

    Would you mind sharing how you got the embossing on the card without it cutting through the base card?

    I hope this makes sense. You can contact me at sherrimbenson@gmail.com

    Giovana,
    these are the best cards. I never would have thought of pink cards either. I hope you will feel better soon.
