Christmas Poinsettia

 Hello Friends

I have offically started my Christmas cards!  I am lucky I have a few left over from last year so I don't have to make quite as many!  But I am filling my time with some projects for our Church boutique.  The card I am making features the Woodland Christmas Set.

Design Steps:

1.  Use an A2 white card base.  Cut a piece of white card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and run it through a snowflake embossing folder.  Cut 3 large snowflakes out of glitter card stock using the Crystal Flurry Snowflake die.  Glue the embossed card stock to the front of the card and then add the snowflakes 

2.  Use a white piece of card stock and then blend red and pink ink over the piece

3.  Use a piece of white card stock and blend green inks over the piece

4. Use the Woodland Christmas Set and cut out 3 poinsettia and 6 leaves.  Using the Christmas Floral 2 cut out 5 pine branches

5.  Glue the poinsettia to the front of the card as shown

6.  Add the leaves and the pine branches.  For the Merry Christmas I used the Merry Christmas Ornament and cut out the Merry Christmas.  Add the centers to the poinsettia. I used micro beads called Prills and dyed them yellow.  Your card is complete

Thankful for You

 Hello Friends

I am making a few Thanksgiving cards for family and friends.  I am using featuring: Fall Tree, Fall Barrel, Mama and Baby Fox (just the baby).  Fall is my favorite color palette and I love sunflowers.  So I really like how this Thanksgiving card turned out.

Design Steps:

1.  Using the following dies cut them out in a variety of colored card stock.  Fall Tree (brown, rid, orange and yellow) Fence (white) Grass (green) Fall Barrel (sunflowers: yellow, brown and green) Mama Fox and Baby (baby fox: rust, white, black). Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue

2.  Use a white A2 card base and cut a piece of white 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  On the white piece blend on some blue ink to create a sky

3.  Stamp Thankful for you in black ink.  Position and glue down your trees

4.  Next glue down the fence and then the grass making sure you only put glue on the very bottom of the grass so that you can stick in the sunflowers and fox

5.  Arrange your sunflowers and glue down

6.  Add in the little fox and your card is complete

Halloween Potions

 Hello Friends

Halloween is only a few short days away so I thought I would share one more spooky but really not so spooky card.  I am using the following dies Jack-O-Lantern Witch and Potions Bottles.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a black A2 card base, cut a piece of gray card stock 4 x 5 1/4 run it through a stone embossing folder and then run a blending brush with black ink lightly over the surface.  Glue the gray embossed piece to the black card base.  Next cut a piece of brown card stock 1/2 x 4 and run it through a wood grain embossing folder.  Glue it to the bottom to represent the floor

2.  To make the postion bottles use the Potions Bottles die.  I used blue vellum and a variety of colors to create the content of the bottles as shown above.  I cut the cork tops out of a cork sheet I had in my stash.  I made the shelf by running a piece of brown card stock through a wood grain embossing folder.  It measures 3 3/4 x 3/4.  I cut the shelf sides at an angle as shown above.  Glue the bottles to the shelf as shown

3.  Using the Jack-O-Lantern Witch die and cut out the pieces.  Assemble the pieces using a fine tip glue.  Arrange the cat, pumpkin and broom as shown below

4.  Add the sentiment, little ghost and the spider to complete your card

Autumn Blessings

 Hello Friends

I have another card project to share today.  This card shows you how versatile some of your dies can be.  The focal point which is the lantern is actually a Christmas die.  But I thought it would be beautiful in a autumn or Thanksgiving card.  The dies I am featuring today are: Vintage Holiday Lantern, Fall Branch, Harvest Foliage and Fall Barrel.

Design Steps:

1.  I have used this technique before so hopefully you don't mind a refresh.  To create the leaves I used a piece of Alcohol Ink Yupo and an applicator.  I put several of the colors of alcohol ink on the applicator and then dabbed it onto the Yupo paper.  I changed the applicator cotton rectangle and tried a few different colors.  I did this 3 times as you can see on the Yupo sheets

2.  Next I used the Fall Branch die and cut it out of the brown tones sheet and then the red and yellow sheet.  I left the brown tones branch in tact.  I then cut off the leaves from the red and yellow branch

3.  I matched up the leaves and then glued the red and yellow ones on top of the brown branch as shown above

4.  I also used Yupo paper and alcohol inks for the berries and sunflowers the dies used are Harvest Foliage (berries) and Fall Barrel (sunflowers and leaves)

  

5.  For the background I used TH inks and blender brushes on a piece of cream colored card stock measuring 3 3/4 x 5.  Masking off an area where the candle light will be the brightest and then filling it in last.  

6.  I cut the lantern out of copper card stock and added some dark brown with copic markers to give it a little texture.  The candle was cut out of cranberry card stock with the flame in yellow and the wick in black.  The base is a brown A2 card with a piece of rust measuring 4 x 5 1/4. Glue the rust to the brown and then add the blended cream card stock.  Pop up the lantern and then arrange the foliage.  Add your sentiment and your card is complete
