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
