It’s hard for me to believe it’s December already, but my calendar says it’s so! Today I’m sharing a quick and simple card I created along with a free Christmas carol printable.
To create this card I:
- Inked the Christmas Quilt embossing folder (Couture Creations) with Fired Brick Distress Oxide
- Inserted my red card stock and ran it through my Cuttlebug
- Printed the Christmas Carol freebie (linked below) on white card stock
To create the gold edge I:
- Dipped the edge of my card stock in my Versamark Watermark inkpad
- Dipped the same edge in Gold Embossing Powder
- Heat Set
NOTE: You can re-dip and re-heat as many times as you want to get the desired results
I finished off my card by:
- Die cutting two green wreaths from the Wreath Spellbinders dies
- Adding a pretty red ribbon bow to the top
- Punching a wide piece of lace (using a Martha Stewart border punch) for the inside
- Die cutting the sentiment from the Phrase Set 2 (Spellbinders )

I’d love to see the Christmas cards you’ve been creating so stop by the CURRENT LINK PARTY and showoff any of your creations that use something from one of the companies CROPSTOP carries in the store!
What a great idea to dip and redip the edge of the card and emboss it………I will definitely try that; it gives such a festive look to the card. Thanks so much for this idea!
pretty wreath, love your text background for it and the gold touch you gave to the edges!!
Very pretty and festive! I love the simple design with the embossed background and the printed panel embossed in gold. Thank you for the freebie! Hugs!
This is so pretty! Love the script BG and the simple, but elegant wreath. This is the kind of wreath I like on my door.
