I am so excited to share another Christmas card project with you today! This project was a fun one for me because it utilized two of my favorite crafting items: hot foil and layering stencils.

To start the project, I trimmed down some white, heavy weight cardstock panels to 4.25×5.5 inches. I then used my Gemini Foilpress and Gemini Jr to hot foil on this beautiful Merry Christmas sentiment from Spellbinders using some gold foil.
After the foiling was complete, I pulled out my Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion and began ink blending. The stencil I am using today is from Pinkfresh Studio and it is called Holiday Botanical Background. I used both the over the hill and garden stroll ink cubes with some blender brushes to apply a variety of green inks. Since our finished project pretty much is a one-layer card, I tried to create some dimension by blending different greens together over the leafy, open areas. I also added a bit of interest around the edges of my card panel by blending in some greens from the edges of the card.
Once the greenery was stenciled on, I moved onto the berries. Instead of inking the berries on, I used some Gina K gold Glitz Glitter Gel with a Nuvo spatula. If you are using this glitter gel, be sure to wash your stencils very quickly to keep them in top condition.
Once my glitter gel was dry, I adhered the panels directly down onto some A2 card bases using some tape runner. And that’s it. This project is done!
