Carlson Craft Holiday Card

540_carlson_4

Our December holidays come alive with a light that shines through the otherwise quiet month that gives us the longest night of the year. The design team at Carlson Craft used specialty substrates, diecutting and laser cutting to portray this beautiful contrast on their 2014 holiday card.

Sparkling gold glitter paper, outlined with diecut curves, serves as the base of this card. Luxurious black velvet paper gets a matching diecut outline along with a flowing laser-cut script and laser-cut circles. The voids created by the laser allow the glitter to show through from underneath for a deeply dimensional effect.

Even more light is reflected from the black velvet with silver foil-stamped circles and type. Adding a subtler gloss and another layer of texture, a black satin ribbon is threaded through a hole at the top of the card turning the piece into a keepsake ornament.
