A Christmas Past - Delightful Christmas

This card was made from a Hunkydory kit called A Christmas Past - from the "A Delightful Christmas" set.  I used very little from the kit, so there's lots more for making other cards!  All that came from the kit were the two sentiments (inside & out) and the focal picture.  The background paper is a gold glimmer paper that was embossed in an M-Bossabilities folder. As you can see, the focal was pretty small, so I enlarged it by creating a couple of mat layers.  The bottom layer is a mirror red card stock cut with a Spellbinder's die (Elegant Labels Four).  I saved a couple of the "innies" for the inside of the card.  The next layer is a white glimmer paper that was embossed with Swiss dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug) and cut with a Spellbinder's die (Labels Four).  The focal was then added on foam tape for extra dimension.  A bit of ribbon & a sentiment die cut finishes the outside.

For the inside of the card, I created a couple of borders with the embossed gold glimmer paper and ribbon - and the saved "innies".  The sentiment is added with foam tape.
