Christmas ornament card

Hi friends,

Today I have a Christmas card to show you. It’s about time to start producing them if I want to get ready in time to ship out this years Christmas cards. 

I have used Elliana Ornament from Memory box cut it out in sparkly red cardstock and a silver glitter sheet with holographic sparkles in it, slightly offsetting the layers  when glued on top of my Drop Ornament backdrop die in smooth solid red cardstock. I also cut out the ornament top in the same silver glitter paper and glued and added a silver ribbon as to hang my ornament on.

The pine sprigs are cut out of green cardstock. I also decided to cut out one from the silver glitter paper and snipped it into two pieces to pull in more Christmas bling to my card. 

I framed the sides of the black panel with a thin strip from the same sparkly red cardstock. The white starry panels are embossed using Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Splash Embossing Folder Twinkling Stars, misting my paper slightly before running it through my Big Shot. I stamped and embossed my sentiment in silver embossing powder. Not perfectly stamped- again. Using textured cardstock sure doesn`t help. Maybe I really should push my wish for a stamping platform up on my Christmas list 😅

On the inside I stamped and embossed in silver a sweet Christmas text in norwegian from Kort og Godt   (M-232). Google translates it into someting like: 

"Thou star over Bethlehem

send thy rays down

and remind us that the commandments 

of Christmas 

are love and peace"

The text is actually the 3. verse of a Christmas hymn from Sweden. In Norway a more loosely translated version of the song is most popular. 

This is one of mye favorite songs around Christmas. Here is a link if you want to listen

Some red glitter sprinkles from Doodlebug and a red envelope, and my first Christmas card for this season is done.
