Three Tinsel and Co. Christmas Cards

Hi!  I thought I better share some more of the Christmas cards I've made before Christmas actually gets here lol!  Today I'm sharing three cards I had created for Teresa Collins Designs over the summer.  These are using the beautiful Tinsel and Company Line:

I embossed the red card base with Beautiful Words embossing folder.  The journaling card has been stamped and stitched along the outside edge.  I kept the embellishments simple, adding a diecut along the bottom edge and a few sequins here and there.

This next one is crisp with a little bit of messy :)

I used embossing paste and a stencil to create the large damask on a white card base.  I splattered it with gray ink and then started layering elements on.  Some are stickers, some are diecuts, and some is just paper- it's fun to mix it up a bit!

 This last one was a quick one:

I covered my white card base with the pretty stars patterned paper (from the 6x6 pad).  I added the three star diecuts and then added the sentiment diecut.  I used dimensional foam adhesive here and there to make things stand out.  I simply added a few sequins for accent  and called it done.

It was weird working on these in the summertime- I actually pulled out some Christmas movies to get me in the mood!  lol!  It was fun!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Tinsel & Company Christmas Cards

Hi!  Today I am sharing on the Teresa Collins Design Team blog- I thought I'd share here, too!  I had a chance to play with the new Tinsel & Company collection over the weekend and made a couple of cards.  My favorite part of the collection is the gold foil printed patterned paper.  It's so shiny and pretty!  Perfect for holiday cards!

My first one features the gold polka-dots on kraft patterned paper (Dots Paper) along with a couple die-cuts from the Tinsel & Company Ephemera pack:

Isn't that gold nice!!  The ephemera pieces are distressed looking- like old wooden signs.  I really love the look!  Here is a closeup:

I kept this one simple, embellishing a little with burlap and machine stitching.  Thank goodness for the Teresa Collins Clear Hold Adhesive by Xyron- it was the only thing that would keep this burlap ribbon in place!

My second card features some of the pretty stamps in the Tinsel & Company collection:

That sentiment stamp is sooo pretty!  I want to use it on all my Christmas cards this year!  Here I've stamped it with a pretty silver ink on a vellum journaling card.  It was hard to get a picture of the metallic shine but boy is it nice in real life!  Here is a closer look:

I've used papers from the Tinsel & Company 6x6 pad on this card along with an Ephemera Tag, a couple of Decorative Stickers, and some Sequins from the collection.  The stars on the card base are another stamp from the Clear Stamp set as well.

This collection definitely put me in the Christmas mood!  It has a classic look and will work so well for so many different projects!  I can't wait to pull it out again!

Thanks for joining me today!
