Santa Peeker

 Hello Friends

Just finishing up the last few Christmas cards! I have added lots of sparkle to this one.  I love using glitter paper around the holidays.  Today's featured dies are Santa Peeker and Merry Christmas Santa.

Design Steps:

1.  Use the Santa Peeker die and cut the following card stock: tan, white, red glitter, and green
2.  Assemble the pieces using a fine tip and quick drying glue.  Use a fine tip black marker to color in the eyes
3.  Use an A2 white card base, 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of red glitter card stock, 3 x 4 inches piece of dotted green DP, and a piece of snowflake DP measuring 2 1/4 x 4 inches.  Glue the red glitter card stock to the white card base.  Glue the green dotted DP to the top of the red glitter card stock and the snowflake DP to the bottom as shown.  (I had some left over pieces of ephemera for the bow and twisted red and green rope)
4.  Using the Merry Christmas Santa die cut out the sentiment in red glitter card stock.  Glue the sentiment to the bottom half as shown below.  I added some shaker pieces that are snowflakes to complete the card

Nativity Ornament

 Hello Friends

I am right in the middle of making my Christmas cards.  So I thought I would share one of my favorite ones.  It is featuring the beautiful Filigree Nativity Ornament on a mini slimline. Plus I used two other dies to complete the card Pine Spray and Wintery Pine.

Background Photo by Freepiks

Design Steps 

1.  The white mini slimline base folded is 6 1/4 x 3 1/4.  A green piece of card stock cut 6 1/8 x 3 1/8.  A white piece of card stock 3 x 6 run through an embossing folder

2.  Glue the green piece to the card front then add the embossed white piece.  Set aside

3.  On white card stock cut the Filigree Nativity Ornament.  Cut a piece of red glitter card stock to glue behind the ornament.  And take the Filigree Nativity Ornament and place a piece of gold on the top portion of the die and cut out the little piece that will attach to the tree as shown above
4.  Glue the red glitter card stock to the back of the ornment and trim.  Then glue the gold piece to the top of the ornament as shown above
5.  Using the Pine Spray and Wintery Pine dies cut out branches in white and green card stock.  On the card base begin to build the pine branch layers
6.  Add the Nativity Ornament and add a few pine branches at the bottom right side of the ornament
7.   Finish the card by adding the sentiment and a ribbon

I did a second card using teal for the ribbon and ornament with a little darker blue green for the branches

Happy Thanksgiving

 Hello Friends

I love Thanksgiving it is a time to reflect on how blessed we are!  I have so many things to be thankful for.   I give praise to God everyday for the many blessings He has given to me.  

Today I have a fun little card to share.  It is a 5 x 7 card which is a little larger then I usually do.  I needed the space to be able to build my scene with all the fun dies I wanted to use! I am featuring the Pilgrim & Indian Owls, Fall Barrel, Havest Pumpkins and Fall Wagon Wheel.

Design Steps:

 

1.  Use a 5 x 7 white card base, cut a piece of cloud DP 4 3/4 x 6 3/4,  use the Grass Slimline die and cut a piece of green card stock and then cut it down to 1 1/2 x 6 3/4.  Glue the cloud dp to the white card base then glue the grass to the bottom of the card
2.  Use the following dies Fall Wagon Wheel, Fall Barrel, Pilgrim & Indian Owls, and the Harvest Pumpkins cut the following colors of card stock: orange, green, white, yellow, tan, dark brown, black, medium brown, kraft, and deep red.  Cut out all the pieces then assemble with a fine tip glue

3.  Begin to glue the dies to the card base.  I glued the wheel down first then added the barrel with the sunflowers
4.  Next glue down the indian owl to the far right add the pilgrim owl and then finally the pumpkin.  Stamp the sentiment and layer it onto yellow.  Glue the sentiment to the card front as seen below and your card is complete
