How have you been getting on with you Christmas cards this year? I’ve made so many already this year as Catherine Pooler has another fabulous Christmas collection: Nordic Woods. If you love the Nordic style and want to add that into your card making then this is a collection for you! The collection has a beautiful Holly and Pinecone cover plate die, and I’ve added a little offset heat embossing for a Classic elegant Christmas card. So let’s get started!
PRODUCED AS PART OF MY BRAND AMBASSADOR WORK FOR CATHERINE POOLER DESIGNS - SEE END OF POST FOR MORE DETAILS
Offset heat embossed shadow: adding the heat embossing
Start off by die-cutting the Holly Framed Cover Plate die out of white cardstock. In addition, cut this once more out of any scrap card you have. With the scrap die-cut, add embossing ink all over by smooshing you WOW! clear ultra slow drying embossing ink down onto the die-cut.
Cover this with WOW! Metallic Copper embossing powder and heat set. Once heat-set cut the die-cut in half at the middle points on either side and trim off the stitched edge border. Adhere the heat embossed die-cuts offset to onside behind the complete white die-cut with liquid adhesive.
Offset heat embossed shadow: creating a matching sentiment
For the sentiment, die-cut the Catherine Pooler ‘Happy Holiday’s die from white card stock 3 times and layer up with liquid adhesive for dimension. Next, add embossing ink to the die-cut and cover the top half with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder and the bottom half with WOW! Metallic Copper embossing powder. You may want to add several layers for a smooth appearance.
Adhere the cover plate die-cut to a white card base with foam strips for dimension. In addition, adhere the sentiment in the middle of the card. To finish the card off, add a selection of sequins from the Catherine Pooler Oak City sequin mix to embellish the card.
