Hey everyone! Happy Sunday!

Today I’m bringing you the fourth in a mini series that I started a little while ago! I am very excited to present Couture Christmas!!

Some of you who follow my blog may remember me saying I planned to create Christmas cards this year and actually send them out to people! I started designing cards the other weekend and found that what I was creating was closer to a boutique stationery collection, in my opinion at least! Some of these are so lush I don’t want to send them out – but I will!!

There will probably be around 5 collections I will bring you, one a week, and covering a range of styles of cards, from graphic/modern, to cutesy, to traditional/solemn, to vintage, to just plain extravagant! I can hardly wait!!

Each collection will be a limited run of exclusive designs, and will be beautifully packaged and presented. I’m still working on concepting the packaging part, but it will be stunning!!

 Ready to see more?! Let’s get started, shall we?!

Presenting… Collection 4:

Couture Christmas: Collection 3 – Skinny Merry & Bright
Limited Run of 25
Presented and packaged in black envelopes
Style: Modern

Very different again huh?! I told you you needed to keep tuning in!!

Frequent visitors to my blog might recognise this modern stunner – I featured it during the last Uniko Studio Release! As soon as I created it I knew it just had to be a part of my collection this year!!

This one is another modern and funky design that could appeal to male or female, and hopefully cover a range of ages too!

Here’s a closer look:

The creation of this card is pretty easy and self-explanatory! I used the All Occasion Sentiments #4 set and stamped the ‘Merry’ and ‘Bright’ repeatedly with Hero Arts Silver ink (I think this is easily my favourite silver ink of all time! If you don’t have it then get it NOW!!). For the sentiment in the centre I coated them in WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Sparkle embossing powder and heat embossed for a simply stunning result!!

I am planning a limited run of 25 for this collection – the stamping is pretty quick and not too fussy so there’ll be quite a few people getting one of these!! Definitely has mass-produced potential!

So I’m dying to know what you all think so far!! Each one of the collections will be completely different so I do hope you’ll keep tuning in to see them each week!!

Thanks so much for stopping by – I would love it if you left some love before you went on your way!
