If you’ve never tried tone-on-tone embossing before, you’re going to fall in LOVE with it! There’s something about the classic and clean look that’s so beautiful!
Then when you combine it with our traditional Christmas colours of red and green (and throw in a bit of pizazz), look what you get!
Isn’t this the PERFECT way to send your holiday greetings to those you love?
Using Both Sides of Your Designer Paper for Depth
With just one little piece of Take a Bow DSP, you can make this card extra eye-catching by showcasing both sides of the paper! One side of the paper becomes the bottom base for extra stability. Then, flip the paper over to reveal its alternate design, this one the cute and colourful dots, adhering this piece nestled right on top of the first one.
This two-sided technique adds a lovely dynamic to the card and maximizes the sweetness of the DSP with minimal supplies!
And look! Here’s how you can make a Christmas tree card from scraps of this one!
Introducing Tone-on-Tone White Embossing for Elegance!
One unique feature of this card is the white tone-on-tone heat embossing. When you add this technique you get a subtle but sophisticated layer of texture to the focal point, the ornament.
All it takes is stamping and embossing in white on white cardstock and you’ll immediately create a beautiful, snowy effect that’s understated but elegant.
This tone-on-tone technique is a delightful twist for those who want to try something new and give their cards a little extra “WOW” factor.
The Hang an Ornament bundle works so perfectly for this card. Here’s everything included.
Pop on a few of the delightful peppermint embellishments as the finishing touch and your card just explodes of festive fun!
