Snowy Trees

 Hello

welcome to my little crafting place!

I have some Christmas cards to share. I made this batch with a similar theme to try and get my card box a little more ready for the Christmas mailbox!

I started by getting out suitable Glimmer plates, those with snow and stars on to make the backgrounds.  The plates are all big enough for the resulting hot-foiled pieces to be cut down and made into several cards.  I started with dark blue card, white foil and a snowflake plate from a few years ago

 

I cut squares and circles from the same white card as the card blanks. 

 Some were made into frames, some just  cut larger than the foiled shapes. Next I matted them onto something shiny and added them to the cards.

I then had a die cutting seeion and cut loads of different smaller trees and holly. Its amazing just how many there are in my die collection! They were added to the little backgrounds, hot-foiled sentiments were added and whatever other trims to jolly them up; twine, gems, punched stars

The card below is slightly different as I spied a scrap of black card on my desk the perfect size to use with this frame.  I hadn't done and foiling on black, but my white pen was handy so I just covered the black with tiny white dots instead.
