Tidings Of Christmas

 Tidings Of Christmas

I wanted to make some quick Christmas cards using the Tidings Of Christmas Designer Series Paper and the beautiful Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper. 



These cards are all the same layout. Cut 3 strips of the Tidings Of Christmas Designer Series Paper at 3/4" x 5 1/2". Emboss all 3 strips using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Attach the strips to the Sahara Sand Card Stock base. 

Using the Poinsettia Dies and the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper, die cut 2 medium poinsettias. Attach the flowers together with a Dimensional then attach to the card front using another Dimensional. *Tip- if you are mailing these cards use only 1 Dimensional. 

Attach a Gem or Rhinestone to the flower center.

Stamp the sentiment using Evening Evergreen Ink. 




Sleepy Lola. Worn out from card making and paper eating!


Thanks for visiting today! Happy stamping and creating!

Shimmery Christmas Card

 

Shimmery Christmas Card


It is difficult to see in a photo but the shimmer on this In-Color Shimmer Vellum is amazing!!! I can't believe it took me this long to play with it!!

Directions:

Cut a piece of Evening Evergreen Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4". Emboss this layer with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder. I know this folder matches with the Merriest Frames Die, but it looks great as the background and most of it is covered but it still adds a great look! Attach this layer to the card base.

Cut a 4 1/4" x 6" piece of the Evening Evergreen In-Color Shimmer Vellum. Die cut it using the Merriest Frames Die. After die cutting, emboss it using the Merriest Frames Embossing Folder. Attach it to the card front using small dots of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a 1 7/8" x 2 5/8" piece of Evening Evergreen Card Stock and a 1 3/4" x 2 1/2" piece of Basic White C/S. Stamp the sentiment using Real Red Ink. Glue these 2 layers together. Attach to the middle of the die cut using Dimensionals. (I decided not to use the co-ordinating rectangle die for the frame middle because I wanted more of the beautiful shimmer to show.)

Attach a Real Red Sheer Ribbon Bow using a Glue Dot.




This card took very few supplies to create. Once you have the Merriest Moments Bundle and the 2021-2023 In-Color Shimmer Vellum you can design so many beautiful creations!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Sketch Challenge Card

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge Card! 

I decided to play with the "new" early release bundle called Eden's Garden. The dies in this bundle are so pretty!!

Be sure to check out all the other participants at Freshly Made Sketches HERE!


Directions:

I started with a card base of Soft Succulent Card Stock cut to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2". 

I cut another piece of Soft Succulent C/S to 4" x 5 1/4". I embossed this panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder then I attached it to the card front using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. 

Using Evening Evergreen C/S, die cut 2 ornate trim pieces. Attach them as shown in the photo to the card using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Trim off any excess. 

Die cut 1 Basic White C/S circle and 1 scalloped circle in Evening Evergreen C/S that is just slightly larger for layering.

Stamp the floral image onto the Basic White C/S circle using Soft Succulent Ink. This is a "Distinktive" stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. 
Attach the Basic White circle to the scalloped Evening Evergreen circle and attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Add an Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon and 3 Garden Gems to finish off the card. Simple but so pretty!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
