With just over 2 months to go until Christmas, here’s an easy card that is elegant, luxurious but easy to mass produce. I’ve used the Star of Light swoosh again and have it bursting out from the sentiment in a celebratory way.

I made half a dozen of these cards and if you have them lined up in a production line, it goes pretty quickly. First I took my 6 pieces of very vanilla cut for the front of the card and stamped the cherry cobbler swoosh – it’s not pretty where they all meet up, but that doesn’t matter. Whilst the cherry cobbler was really drying, I took scraps, rubbed with the embossing buddy and stamped the Noel from Christmas Pines and sprinkled with the copper embossing powder. I had them all carefully laid out around me so that I could heated them all in one go. Next I did my big shot work – I cut out my sentiment using one of the layering ovals and the scalloped mat in cherry cobbler, also from the layering ovals. By this time, I was sure that the cherry cobbler ink was dry and wouldn’t attract any stray bits of the copper embossing powder and so I went back with the embossing buddy, added a few stars (from Star of Light) and added more copper embossing powder.  Then it was a simple matter of putting the sentiment together and carefully popping it up on dimensionals before putting my layer onto the cherry cobbler card stock. To make the card extra luxurious, I dry embossed the envelope flap with the holly TIEF.
