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.

Halloween Potions

 Hello Friends

Before I get started I wanted to alert you to a fantastic HALLOWEEN SALE that we have going on in the store!  There are some SPOOKTACULAR prices so check it out HERE!

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

                         Background Photo by Freepiks

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
