This is number 8 in this current series of cards - each set from a different paper napkin (freezer paper technique).
FIRST CARD: This first one is pretty straight forward. The napkin was trimmed to fit on the card. I embossed a piece of gold glimmer paper (Diamond Fleur de Lis MBossabilities by Spellbinders) & then fussy cut the inside to form a frame. I also fussy cut around the leaves so they would extend over the frame rather than being covered by it. The sentiment is cut from red paper using a Tim Holtz die.
SECOND CARD: Next up was a little more work. I started by embossing the card front (3D Cane Weave by Spellbinders). Next, I cut a frame from green paper using a cutting die for the inside (Spellbinders Marvelous Squares). I carefully trimmed the napkin so all but the ribbon would fit behind the frame. A "Christmas" sticker & the die cut word "memories" (Tim Holtz dies) completed this card front.
THIRD CARD: This one looks much more straight forward than it actually was! I actually had to piece this as the original gold frame was designed only on the right & bottom sides. I added Jewel Dazzles (HOTP) which helped hide the joins, and the word "JOY" cut from holographic card stock with some generic alphabet dies.
FOURTH CARD: This final card was the most labor intensive because I fussy cut all around the holly picture on the napkin, leaving it attached to just a strip of the green. I added the green strip at the top, then trimmed more pieces to allow me to glue the gold top & bottom. I made a tag (stamp from HOTP Snowman small stamp) & added it with a piece of ribbon, then added a bunch of Jewel Dazzles to the focal. (Wish I'd used a gold ribbon at the top, but you live & learn, right?)
