Christmas Cardinal - Acrylic Embossing


Welcome to Glenda's Cards!
Today I am sharing a Christmas card that was made for a special friend! Now that she has received the card, I am able to make the post. I am showcasing features similar to a previous card that I posted last year here

The card is 5" x 6 1/2" and is inspired by the pretty sketch at Card Patterns. Designer paper is Martha Stewart Holidays that was purchased last Christmas.

Cricut Cartridges:
Winter Woodland - Page 59 Bird is cut 2 1/2". Red glitter paper is also from the Martha Stewart Holidays pack.
Joys of the Season -  Page 69 Holly and Berries
Cuttlebug:
The embossed acrylic background is a piece of Cricut cartridge packaging. It is embossed with the Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls folder.
Other supplies include Christmas Red Stickles on the berries and Martha Stewart punch. Inking is Dew Drop Versa Magic Gingerbread. Christmas sentiment is Holiday Time Crystal Sticker. I hand cut a piece of the red glitter paper to run through the openings.
Challenges:
Card Patterns - Sketch 146
Little Scrap Pieces - Winter - Holiday
Simply Create Too - Ch 2 Embossing
Passionately Artistic - Linking Party
Robin's Creative Cottage - Link Up Party

Hope you enjoy my card!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
