My samples use the new Peaceful Wishes stamp set.
Creative Nugget: The green card stock was cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die and the trees from the Peaceful Wishes stamp set were gold embossed. VersaMark refill ink was splattered onto the panel and gold embossed as well. Snowflakes were cut from gold card stock using the Snow Crystals Dies. The Curvy Slopes Dies were used to cut the snowdrift at the bottom of the card. Gold Pearls were added to the centers of the snowflakes to finish the card. The same card was made in blue and silver:
Here is the gift bag:
Creative Nugget: The Card Caddy & Gift Bag Dies and the Gift Bag Handles and Topper Dies were used to construct the gift box. The front of the bag was created the same way as the card above. The Gingham paper on the topper is from the Christmas Collection 2013 Paper Pad.
Both projects can be seen below.
These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

Oh my goodness, Cathymac, your cards and that gift bag are simply stunning. The gold is gorgeous against that deep green as is the silver against the deep blue. I'm not even certain which one I like better, they're both so lovely. That gingham paper at the top of your gift bag finishes it off beautifully. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteBoth the card and the bag are both beautiful! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges!
