Tis The Season

Hello crafters!  I used the Brick Wall embossing folder to emboss a piece of white card.  I used some Gather Twigs Distress ink and lightly sponged the top of the embossed card.  Using the Cosy Fireside Christmas die set, I cut the fireplace out of slate grey card.  I added a black mantle piece and cover the inside of the fireplace with black card as  well.  I cut the fire die out of white and coloured it with markers then added it to the fireplace.  I cut three red stockings and added white tops to them, then used Fluffy Stuff on the tops and heated it for a furry look and attched them across the fireplace.  Next I cut the Tree and added gold ornaments with a paint pen.  I cut small three pressies to go under the tree and added a larger pile to the left of the fireplace.  I cut the wreath from the set in green and added a red bow to it.  The Tis The Season sentiment was cut in red and shadowed in black, then glued it above the wreath.  I used the swag die and cut it six times in green and glued it across the top of the card, then added red bows at each of the connecting point.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.

Happiness Is Time Spent With A Friend

 Hi crafters!  I cut the Wild Daisy Cover Plate with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I glued the black die cut to the white embossed piece and then recut the die in custard card, green card and black gloss card.  I used the fall away pieces and paper pieced them back into place.  As I did the custard card, I inked the inside section with Fossilised Amber Distress ink.  I cut the die a final time out of white glittered card and paper pieced the background into place. I matted the cover plate with a yellow mat then added a white folded piece to create the inside of the card.  I cut the 3D Card Maker in white and glued it to the inside of the card.  Using the Dynamic Daisies die set, I cut the daisy dies in two shades of yellow and assembled all the flowers.  I added them to the pop up part of the inside.  I cut foliage from the Fabulous Foliage die set as accents around the flowers.  I cut two full flowers and used the half flower on the stems.  I added one to the top of the card and the other to the bottom of the card.  I cut one of the butterflies from the Bountiful Butterflies set and glued it to the top of the card.  I used the Happiness Is Time Spent With A Friend sentiment and cut it in black.  I added it to a white shadow backing piece and glued it to the bottom of the card.  The finished dimensions (closed) are 4 3/4"  x 6" in size.

Tis The Season

Hi bloggers!  I started this card by cutting the Poinsettia Ribbon Wave die in black.  I glued it to a piece of acetate, then applied glue to the back of it where the poinsettias were.  I sprinkled Fire Red Polished silk glitter on it, then tapped off the excess.  I did the same thing for the leaves and coated them with Hunter Green glitter and tapped off the excess.  I set it aside to dry over night.  I cut the outer die from the set in re and glued the decorative edge to pieces of white card that I cut with the die to get the same shape.  I added mounting foam to the backs of the two white pieces, then glued the Poinsettia Ribbon Wave die to another piece of white card and attached the two white piece around it so that the wave die was recessed between them.  I cut the Snowflake Sparkle die in red and used it as a base.  I cut the rest of the die in white and glued it to the red backing piece.  I added it below the wave die.  I cut a small poinsettia using the Stylish Poinsettia set and glittered it in red.  I added it to the top of the Snowflake Sparkle die with two green leaves as accents.  The Tis The Season sentiment was cut in black and glued to the inside of the snowflake Sparkle die cut.  The card was completed with white, red and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  9"  in size.

Believe In The Magic

Hi there my crafty friends!  I used the Bold Snowflakes embossing folder and embossed a piece of white card with it for my background.  Next I cut the Build A Wreath die out of green card three times.  I stacked them together for a fuller wreath, gluing the centre line on them.  I cut a red bow and added it to the top of the wreath with twigs as accents.  I cut pine cones out of tan card and red berries and added them all around the wreath.  I added the wreath to a square of white card and matted it in red.  I added it to the embossed background with mounting foam.  I cut the Believe In The Magic which was cut from the Festive Wordie sheets and added it across the middle of the wreath,  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  7 1/4" in size.

Haunted Wishes

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card with a piece of white card.  I sponged Fossilised Amber Distress ink in the middle of the card.  I added Spiced Marmalade ink around it, then moved to Seedless Preserves and finished with Blueprint Sketch ink around the edges of the card.  I spritzed some water in my hands, then clapped it over the piece and laid a tissue on it to sop up the water and remove the ink for a more eerie look.  I cut the Spooky Tree in black and glued it to the left side of the card.  I cut the Grim Reaper and several headstones in black and added them with mounting foam.  I cut the Haunted Wishes sentiment from the Bride Of Frankie die set in both black and white card.  I used the white die cut as an offset shadow behind the black die cut and glued it to the right of the tree.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.
