Today I'm sharing a batch of Christmas card multiples.
For some time I've been making my card bases out of A4 cardstock, cutting to size and scoring myself. But I still had a box of cards and envelopes in my stash which weren't getting used so for this year's Christmas cards I decided to reach for these for a change.
These card bases are so pretty, in subtle gold and lilac pearlescent card with a gorgeous shimmer. So I kept with the shimmery theme and added die cut glitter card and metallic heat embossed vellum.
Here's the gold version...
I die cut the base snowflake from rose gold glitter card and adhered flat to the card base. The smaller snowflake was stamped on vellum and heat embossed in platinum and die cut with the co-ordinating die. The sentiment was heat embossed in the same embossing powder on a strip of black cardstock. This was then adhered on 3D foam holding the vellum snowflake in place.
And the lilac version...
This was made in the same way but with the base snowflake die cut from white glitter card and the vellum snowflake heat embossed in silver sparkle. The sentiment strip was heat embossed in silver.

- Stamps: Stampin' Up! - Festive Flurry; Clearly Besotted - Sentimenta; Type
- Ink: VersaMark
