Christmas Poinsettias

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

Hello Friends

I am making a few Thanksgiving cards for family and friends.  I am using the following dies: 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.

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

6.  Add in the little fox and your card is complete

Holiday French Horn

Hi friends, it Marla and I have another Christmas card to share.  This card features the Holiday French Horn and Rustic Wreath dies.  Dimension and layers make interesting and beautifully texture cards.  I liked how both of these dies had foliage, which makes tucking in layers easy peasy.  Let me walk you through the card process.

• Die cut all of the pieces using white card stock.  Then die cut the french horn using metallic card stock.  I chose to use flat gold metallic card stock.
• Color your images using a blending brush and ink.  
• Add detail to the poinsettia layers and foliage with a Copic marker.

• Cut two pieces of white card stock to 4" x 5.25 and 3.25" x 4.75"
• Stamp the 4" x 5.25" card stock with an image of your choice.  I used a sheet music stamp.  Ink the stamp and spritz with water to get a slightly distorted image.
• Dry emboss the smaller cardstock for texture.  I used an older wood grain embossing folder.
• Adhere the sheet music layer to an A2 top folding card base.
• Add foam tape to the back of the dry embossed layer and adhere at an angle on top of the stamped layer.

• Assemble the pinecones, poinsettias and bird.  Add foam square behind the wing of the bird.
• Assemble the die cut pieces to the card front.
• Stamp the sentiment and use a fishtail die to cut out the sentiment
• Add foam tape to the back of the sentiment strip and adhere to the card front.
•                                            

Thank you for joining me today.  I have added the product links for easy shopping.  Until next time..... Marla
