St. Nick Christmas Card

 It's Christmas in July, that's when crafters start on Christmas cards, so they'll be done by the end of November and ready to mail out. After doing all of the work to make our beloved Christmas cards, we want the recipient to have the full month of December to display our cards.

My card is made using the St. Nick Die Set .

The background was made by adding Stormy Sky Distress Ink on a white cardstock that had been cut with the Emerald Cut Labels and Tag Die Set.

The panel was then embossed using the Argyle Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.  This panel was mounted on a white cardstock panel that was also cut with the same die set and glued to a red card. St. Nick and the tree were then glued on the front panel.

The Sentiment was made using the Snowflake Wishes Stamp and Die Set, with the Wishes die-cut from gold cardstock and the sentiment stamped in black on white cardstock.

You Make Me Smile Floral Card

Hi, today I have a pastel card in pinks and greens with a touch of bling because we all know everything is better with bling!

*I used the Delphinium Etched Dies from Spellbinders, for the flowers and the leaves. The flowers were die-cut from decorative paper and the leaves were die-cut from white cardstock, then sponged with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink. Once the flowers were put together, yellow Diamond Dotz were glued to the centers.

*The background was made using the Monoline Stars Embossing Folder and a white cardstock panel. Pink Diamond Dotz were glued to the center of the design.

*The sentiment is from the Watercolor Flower Clear Stamp Set.

Have a crafty day!

Birthday Wishes CardT

 I just can't get enough of the Flowers & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder from Spellbinders. I made another card that's quick and easy.

To make my card, I used the Flowers & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder to emboss decorative paper and used a small stencil brush to add green ink to the flowers. Yellow rhinestones were added to the center of the flowers.

The sentiment was die-cut from white and pink cardstock using the Popular Sentiments Die and it was popped up towards the top of the card.

Hearts were die-cut from decorative paper and glued to the left side of the sentiment.

The embossed panel was layered onto pink cardstock and glued to a white card.

The sentiment was made by using the Popular Sentiments Die and cutting white and pink cardstock. The sentiment was then popped up om the card.

For the finishing touch, several hearts were die-cut from decorative paper and glued to the left side of the sentiment.

Hello Embossed Card

Hi crafty friends, today I have a card made with the Flowers & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder by Wendy Vecchi from Spellbinders along with dies also from Spellbinders.

To make my card I used the Flowers & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder to embossed white cardstock that had blue inks color blended from the bottom up, leaving the top portion white.

Next white cardstock was die-cut using the Sealed Twine Die and it was glued just below center of the card.

The flowers were then die-cut using the Garden Wreath Add Ons Die Set, from white cardstock with the leaves being cut from silver glitter paper.

The large flower was cut three times, inked with purple ink and layered together, then popped up on the center of the Sealed Twine piece. the smaller flowers and leaves were glued around the larger flower.

The sentiment was then die-cut from white, purple and silver glitter paper using the So Many Sentiments Die Set then popped up diagonally at the top of the card.

Have a crafty day!

Here's how my card was -

Emboss the bottom of a white cardstock panel using the Monoline Stars Embossing Folder and place the panel diagonally in the folder.

Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp and Die Set-

  Place a strip of gold paper where the embossing ends using 1/8" tape. Mount this to a top folding pink card using the E-Z Runner Strips. 

Die-cut an oval from acetate and place alternating strips of decorative paper and gold paper, securing it with 1/4" and 1/8" tape. 

Place 3D Strips on the back of the acetate behind the paper strips.

Die-cut flowers and leaves using Sealed For Christmas Sprigs Dies from white cardstock and place them on the left side of the oval using Micro dots. The pink center of the flower is popped up using 3D micro squares. Attach pink cord and a bow to the stem of the flowers using Micro Dots. Die-cut Wishing from black and gold cardstock. Layer the gold on the black with the black edge showing and pop this up diagonally on the oval using a 3D Foam Strip. Die-cut a banner from white cardstock and stamp it with the sentiment using pink ink. Add pink twine and a white and gold ribbon to the stem of the flowers.
