Elegant Blue & Gold Holiday Card with Heat Embossing

Hello! Jen here with a holiday card featuring the October Stamp and Cut of the Month. This set includes two ornaments, a decorative layer for each ornament, lots of accessories and fabulous sentiments. I pulled in items from other October subscriptions to finish this card off perfectly.

How to Create the Card

  • Stamp the October Cling Stamp of the Month on white cardstock using Aquatic, Deep Ocean and Nautical Core Ink. This will create a beautiful ombre blue background. Cut panel to 4 x 5 ¼” and adhere to an A2 card base.
  • Adhere the gold cardstock to the ornament and sentiment offset slightly.
  • Then add to card with thin foam squares.
  • Add bow and hanger with Precision Glue XL. Place three starbursts on ornament and three on card.

I hope this inspires you to use the October Stamp and Cut of the Month.


Thanks for visiting!
