Holiday cards

Happy Monday friends! I'd like to start of the week with some cards share. And because we are in the Holiday season, I picked the ones that are applicable for this time of the year...

 

Happy Holidays

Size: 4 1/8” x 4 1/8”

Supplies Used:

Pattern paper-Winter Wonderland, My Little Shoebox; Stickers- (epoxy) Holidazzle, Creative Memories; (tree) Winter Wonderland, My Little Shoebox; Stamps- Bows and Holly, Lawn Fawn; Ink- (black) Jet Black, Stazon, Tsukineko; (red) Cherry, American Crafts; (raspberry) Versacolor, Tsukineko; Pen- Black, Dual-tip, Creative Memories; Scallop Scissor- Fiskars; Dies- Classic Scallop circles large, Spellbinders; Adhesives- Perma tac, u cut it foam, Raisen’s, Mini Square- Glue Arts; Flower- Pink, Accent Creative Designs

Instructions: Fold your pink pattern paper into a card sizing about 4 ½” square. Run it through the die cut machine using the circle scallop circle die. Cut another piece of scallop circle paper using the grey pink dot paper. Emboss the edge as well. Ink the edges of the pink/grey dot paper and adhere to the circle card. Cut a piece of green snowflake paper that is about 1 ½” in width and 5” in length. Cut the edges with scallop scissor. Place another pattern paper on top of the border. Adhere the layered border piece on the bottom portion of the card, cutting the left and right edges into notches. Stamp the gift box and tag images onto pattern paper. Set it aside to dry. Wrap the twine around the bottom paper strip twice. Secure the ends on the back side of the card. Adhere the Christmas tree sticker and flower onto the card. Cut the gift box and tag accent and adhere to the card. Place the epoxy stickers on the sticker and stamped images.

Notes: I used a die cut machine to make my shaped card. I place the die a little above the top of the fold of the paper so I won’t cut the fold of the card. I mainly used a pink color scheme on this card but with the tree, snowflake and gift box accent still keeps the Christmas/Holiday theme in the card

Make the card base with cardstock. Cut a piece of blue dot paper that is 1/8” smaller than the card base. Cut this piece using a decorative blade attachment to a paper trimmer. Cut a piece of brown snowflake paper that is 4” x 5 ¼” in size. Measure ½” all round the snowflake paper, make measurement lines on the back side of the paper and cut out a frame.  Adhere to the card. Place the chipboard snowman, chipboard snowflake and sentiment accents on the card using dimensional adhesive. Add a small blue button in the center of the chipboard snowflake using mini square adhesive. Notes: I cut the brown snowflake paper into a frame so I won’t lose any of the beautiful design of the blue dot paper in the background.

I hope you all have a great start to your week.

Till next time,
Grace
