Foiled Christmas

I hate to throw away anything that may be of use sometime in the future (yes, I have a little bit of a hoarding problem). Sometime ago I purchased aluminum foil baking pans at the dollar store that I used to make medium sized lasagne. As we always ate the dish the same day I didn't use the silver cardboard lids that came with the pans. I kept them as I figured I'd find a crafting purposes for them at one point or another.

Well, the other day I was in the mood to make a few more Christmas cards and came across my little stash of silver cardboard. I decided to see if embossing would work. And low and behold it does work and looks great!

Here are the two cards I designed.

 
Supplies used:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Ink: Real Red, Basic Black, Basic Gray, Smokey Slate - all SU
Stamps: Mosaic Madness - SU, Tiny Tags - SU
Punches: Jewelry Tag - SU, Mosaic - SU
Embosing Folder: Modern Mosaic - SU
Misc.: 5/8" red organza ribbon, various rhinestones

I was able to get 2 cardfronts form one lid.
