My First Christmas Cards Of 2016
I've batch made these Christmas cards for the Rudolf Days Challenge and also to get a head start on my cards for December 2016. I'm lucky to have a foiling machine, which I really don't use enough, so with this in mind I thought why not make some Christmas cards with it. The images that I printed where from NSR Snowflakes and Sparkles by MCS printed onto some white smooth card. Four images to a sheet and two sheets. Then I popped both through the foiler, one with Silver and one with Gold. After they had finished and cut to size I used a blending tool and various colours of distress inks on the backgrounds. I mounted the gold onto gold mirri card and the silver onto silver mirri card, then onto an A6 white card blank. Now I have eight cards ready and waiting for the end of the year.

These are all so pretty/You are a gem at foiling! I think my fave is the sort of modern looking image with the drift and snowflakes!

Your foiling looks gorgeous with that mirri card paper. So shiny and elegant. Foiling gives Christmas cards the perfect look. I haven't heard of foiling in a long time and now twice in less than a week!

A great start to your Christmas cards for the end of the year - well done. The foiling works so well for these and it is good to use the 'gadgets' which we often buy and which get left unused from time to time - I'm guilty of that I know!!
Beautiful foiled cards!! Love the designs you have used!! Gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing with us at the Rudolph days challenge.
