You may notice that my background plates are NOT Christmas related at all, thank you. Let me help you stretch those supplies.

Card #1 – Chevrons with Ice Lights

My first card uses the Altenew Chevron Background. But it’s the sparkle of the Ice Lights that really brought it to life, kinda the perfect combination in my book.

I added a simple Leaping Reindeer from Penny Black.

Card #2 – New Years Party Snowflake

I did have plans to add colour to this Snowflake but just couldn’t go past the clean and simple white on white look.

Dont’ you love how the New Years Sparkle looks on the Skinny Stripe Background?

Card #3 – Use the Waste Foil

But, let’s not waste that fabulous left over foil! I Hot Foiled it onto a Teal Green Toner Sheet… did you know that you can use Hot Foil on Toner Sheets?

And I made it into a Christmas tree.

BONUS TIP: Use a piece of the same foiling cardstock (here I used the same as the sentiment) to cover the front of a heavier weight card base so that the ‘whites’ match.

Card #4 – Add Colour with Toner Sheets

This card has the MOST sparkle. I used the negative piece of the Ice Lights Hot Foil and added it to a Dusty Purple Toner Sheet. It’s fabulous being able to have that little pop of colour behind the sparkle!

I also added a purple wreath and and alcohol marker coloured flower.

PRO TIP: I fussy cut the images to the edge of the stamped image rather than use the coordinating die cuts to keep the ‘whites’ matching. YES, I have a thing about matching my whites lol.

Card #5 – Royal Magic

This time I changed it up and used the Royal Purple Hot Foil, and the sparkle comes from the fabulous Magic Burst Die.

And, I used another Mini Christmas Sentiment which have been featured throughout all of these card designs.

  1. Oh, Therese! This is just what I needed to kick start my creativity! Gorgeous designs – aren’t they always?? Purple might be my newest favorite Christmas color – off to watch! x

  2. All the cards are gorgeous. I would never have dreamed of using purple for Christmas cards, but the combination you’ve used is just beautiful. I tend to stick to traditional colours but I can see I need to be more adventurous. So pleased you’ve brought out my favourite Reindeer. I love him, he’s so majestic and the card is so elegant.
    Love them all. Now I’m off to bed and I’ll probably lie there for an hour or so mulling over what I’m going to try tomorrow.
    Thank you for your amazing inspiration ❤️

  3. So much gorgeousness, Therese. The foil is such a great way to add shine. All the cards are wonderful but that wreath stole my heart.

  4. Such gorgeous cards Therese! I’ve just ordered the New Years Party & Ice Lights hot foil! They look awesome! When you put shims in your hot foil machine, is it thinner cardstock, as I have the same machine, and was curious. ❤️

    1. I have a couple of different thicknessessessess and adjust them as I try each different brand of die and or hot foil. Mostly I use one or two pieces of 110lb equivalent. Hope this helps Bev!

  5. I need ice lights !!! Amazing especially loving the first two as the ice lights behind are so subtle but absolutely fabulous and so beautifully CAS.

    Marie

  6. Oh WOW these are fantastic! Love the leaping deer and white on white so simple but so classy! Um some of these tips sounded just like they were for me 🙂 Thank you 🙂
