Hey everyone. It’s Carisa here with you and I’m taking over Dana’s blog and Youtube channel to share in the fun of Dana’s Got Joy Creations Holiday Series for 2019. Make sure you are following this series for amazing holiday inspiration, giveaways, discount codes and don’t forget to leave a comment below to qualify all the giveaways. There will also be tutorials and cards shared by Dana as well and she will have a few surprises to share with you!
For my card today, I am creating backgrounds using alcohol inks and then using my Gemini FoilPress machine to add foiling to my card with some super cute Spellbinders Glimmer Plates. I’m keeping it super simple today. The foiling on these cards look amazing but they really don’t take a lot of time to create. You could totally make a bunch of backgrounds watching holiday movies, let them dry and then just foil them. I kept my cards flat without any dimension as well to make it super easy to pop in the mail.
Here are some close ups of the cards.
The GJC Holiday Card Series runs from November 17 to December 14. Each day Dana will have a Guest Designer right here on the blog sharing their holiday card ideas just like I did here today. Hopefully you will find something to inspire you to create holiday cards for your family and friends this year. Follow along on her YouTube Channel and make sure you leave comments on each designer’s posts or videos for chances to win.
I hope you enjoy the video showing exactly how simple these cards are to create yourself! Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to leave your comments for a chance to win one of the giveaways.
