Today I am sharing the cards made for this month’s Christmas Stampathon where our theme is ’texture’. I have made my cards using the Ornamental Christmas stamp set and dies and the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder.
Colours used to make these cards are:
I created the Christmas Star card using the following supplies:
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Real Red – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3¾”
Red Foil – 3½” by 3”
Basic Black – 1¾” by ¼”
Scrap Basic White
I ran the 5⅜” by 3¾” panel of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. A length of Open Weave Trim was wrapped around and secured on the back with Sellotape.

The whole piece was then adhered to the Real Red layer and then to the Thick Basic White card front.

I cut a Red Foil star using the Ornamental Christmas Dies.

Using the same die I cut 2 more stars from scrap Basic White card. I glued these together and added the Red Foil star on top. The whole piece was mounted onto the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool before adding it to the card front.

A trio of Iridescent Foil Gems finished the card.
