Except for cutting the paper, this Christmas Card With Gold Metallic Rub-on is probably one of the easiest cards you can make! I had ordered these Metallic Textures Rub-Ons quite awhile back, then kept forgetting to try them out. Finally I did to make this card and loved how easy they were to use and how pretty this one turned out!
I started with one of the large tags in the A Touch of Gold Tags Ephemera Pack. I am loving ALL of the ephemera packs Stampin’ Up! has now! I used the wreath Metallic Rub-on on this tag. The directions are easy. Cut out the design you want to use. Remove the backing. Place it on the cardstock where you want it with the pretty design face up. Just use your finger to rub across the design thoroughly. Carefully lift it up, making sure the metallic design transferred. Mine did perfectly!
For the greeting, I used one from the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack. I like these so much I bought an extra pack so I have plenty for Christmas cards and other projects. These are printed in gold foil and are peel-and-stick adhesive on the back. There are duplicates of each greeting. You can leave the backing on if you want to use your own adhesive or want to pop them up on Dimensionals. This one fit just right.
I originally thought I would add some Cherry Cobbler Berries to the wreath, but then I decided to leave it all just gold and white.
The card base is Basic White. I cut a layer of Basic White that I could layer the Gold Tag on. My layer is 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″. Then I layered that on Gold Foil, a piece 3 1/2″ x 5″. Finally, I added a bow tied with the Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon and adhered with a couple of Mini Glue Dots.
That’s all there is to this card and I think it looks very nice with all the gold! These rub-ons are in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog near the bottom of page 124 so they are for any occasions and designs, not just holidays. I feel like they could be easily overlooked on that page in the catalog because of the light color and all the interesting embellishments on the next page that draws your eye! This wreath I used could just be for summer or any time. Half of the sheets in the package are silver, so you get both gold and silver in the package.
Check out the Metallic Textures Rub Ons (165270) and put a package on your next order! You’ll love them! I think Stampin’ Up! had some many years ago and we rubbed them with like a popsicle stick. These you just use your finger. So easy and fun!
