The last Christmas Card in 2020

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is penultimate day of 2020 and I know that Christmas is over but I'm still feeling the festive spirit. Here you are my last Christmas card in 2020.

I used S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia to create beautiful flowers. They are so sweet and delicate. I love them.  I used Distress ink to add some colour inside. 

I added some snowflakes from S5-429 Snowflake Splendor. I put them under flowers and on the background. Christmas leaves are from November 2020 Die of the Month where you can find amazing small flowers poinsettias and these leaves.

Thank you for watching and have a nice day!

Kate

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Amazing Paper Grace November Die of the Month Blog Hop - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

If you haven't already jumped into Christmas preparations, are you ready to sleigh it? 

Today we are sharing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for November 2020 - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh. This one is a little bit different because it folds down flat for mailing as do all the dies in the 3D Vignette lines.

Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these lovely dies to create with.

Poinsettia Sleigh Details

This die can be used as flat detail on a 2D surface but transforms into a 3D show piece so easily that we're happy you will have both options. Becca traditionally creates a high end die that doubles as a decoration piece in November of each year. Let's just call it icing on the cake for the holidays. It's really a satisfying venture to grab a cup of coffee and sit down to put it together as it is to set it out on the table. 

Today we want to inspire you to think of different combinations using the Poinsettia Sleigh. 

Here's what we had in mind:

1. Table Center Piece
2. Table Setting Favor
3. Filled with Candy and Goodies
4. Part of a Wonderland Menagerie
5. Flat 2D on the front of a card

In the comments let us know how you think it should be used. 

There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

My Project Today using the Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

My first project is a 3D Sleigh full of poinsettias. I used a blue paper to create the sleigh and I decorated it with silver mirror and glitter paper.

My second project is a card with the sleigh. I used the same poinsettias but with single layers of petals.

Supplies:

Stamps: none

Paper: silver mirror paper, glitter paper

Ink: Distress Ink Twisted Citron

Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh 

P.S. In the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Encouragement Facebook Group there are two Step-by-Step Tutorials that take a novice through creating some spectacular poinsettias. I hope you'll join the group so that you have both of those methods in your toolbox. They'll come in handy this Christmas Season.

Nested Clipped Squares - Halloween Collection Amazing Paper Grace

Hello Friends, welcome back with another card. 

Halloween Collection from Amazing Paper Grace includes 3 sets and one of them is S4-1069 Nested Clipped Squares. They perfectly suit with spider net from S3-405 Spooky Boo but I used them for Christmas card as frames. They are so versatile that you can die-cut full clipped square or frame. What more, the frame can be thin or thick.

I obviously added poinsettias. They are so beautiful. You can create them with S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia. The little bell is from the last year Charming Christmas Collection from Amazing Paper Grace S5-380 Charming Snowflake Doily. 

I hope you like it. Please leave comment on what you think

Hugs

Christmas card for APG -Sparkling Merry Christmas

Hello

I have been invited by Becca Feeken to join her design team

to prepare some Christmas cards.

I'd like to share with my first Christmas card from new Charming Christmas Collection.

I created this card using a beautiful die Spellbinders S6-151 - Holly Jolly Christmas Etched Dies

I cut a big frame from a white and pearl paper and put them together in a little distance. 

I added a white smaller frame.

The background is made from a silver, glitter paper. The Merry Christmas sentiment is made from the same paper.

It looks amazing when the light is on.

I decorated my card with poinsettia from Spellbinders S4-960 - Cinch and Go Poinsettia,

a bell charm from Spellbinders S5-380 - Charming Snowflake Doily

Under the poinsettia, I added pearl snowflakes from Spellbinders S-5-379 - Yuletide Snowflakes

Thank you for stopping by
