Christmas Kangaroos for Paper Rose

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm sharing an Aussie Christmas card for Paper Rose Studio.

I stamped the Christmas Kangaroos clear stamp onto a top folding white card base, and coloured it with Copic markers. I added a wide and a thin strip of patterned paper from the Nature Stroll Festive 6x6 paper pack to the left side of the card, and cut off the excess.

Embossed Christmas cards for Paper Rose

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm sharing a pair of Christmas cards for Paper Rose Studio.

I started with a piece of plum coloured cardstock, which I sprayed with water before embossing it with the "Sweet vines 3D" embossing folder. I then dipped my finger in gold Hero Wax from Hero Arts and rubbed it over the raised areas of the embossing. I cut the panel in half and adhered the two pieces to two white, top folding card bases.  

I cut the Big Joy metal die from gold mirror cardstock and adhered the letters to one of the cards, along with a narrow strip of the mirror cardstock bordering the embossed panel. I added another strip of mirror cardstock to the other card, before stamping the Merry Christmas Bold Script sentiment and embossing it with gold embossing powder.
