But It's "Not" Christmas Blog Hop




Don't you just love a die that does double duty?  We thought so!  Today we're are having a blog hop to show you how the dies in The Charming Christmas Collection can be used year round; after all, it's not Christmas.  No worries, Christmas is coming and we'll press A Charming Christmas back into service this year but in the meantime, please join us for some year-round inspiration and a giveaway at the bottom of the post.

It's Not Christmas but About A Charming Christmas

Becca designed A Charming Christmas with lovely romantic frames and shapes and with charms.  Leave the charms in the package and you have a lovely 'everyday' die that is begging to be used all year round.  Hop around with us as we reintroduce you to the non-Christmas side of A Charming Christmas.


My Projects For Today.

The die I'm showing today is a Charming Tag Pocket from a Charming Christmas Collection designed by Becca Feeken.




On my card, I put a mini pocket made from two pieces of die cut glued together. Inside is put a mini book with wishes. The right side of my card I decorated by a beautiful pattern from Charming Tag Pocket. A small bow and little flowers are added to make the card more subtle.

Supplies:

Stamps: none
Ink: none
Paper: "The Promise" 6x6 Premium Paper Pad by Katie Pertiet, gold mirror paper, natural white, embossed paper,
Accessories: Spellbinders A Charming Christmas Collection, S5-384 Charming Tag Pocket, ribbon, flowers

Thank you for having a special look at the versatility of the die in The Charming Christmas Collection.  As a part of our hop we're giving away an Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month from a previous month - based on availability.

Amazing Paper Grace May Die of the Month Blog Hop



This month's Nostalgic Serenade Card Frame Die Set is absolutely amazing. It is a little bigger than most of dies. From the same die, you can prepare a big A5 card or you have a possibility to create a beautiful 3D project, such as a box, a book cover or basket.

My Project Today:






I prepared a box for a card. Firstly, I made a base from a white paper. I cut off the longer part of the die cut and glued it to the base as a handle.  
Then I made a rest of the box. On the top, I cut out the hole using the second die (in terms of size) from the set. I took a rectangle, bigger paper than the hole on the top and cut out the decorative pattern. I glued it underneath the hole. I cut three pieces of the frame with a hole in the centre, from white and gold paper. I adhered them alternately on the top using 3D tape.
As you can see I decorated the box with a bow and some flowers.

My second project:




My second project for this hop is a card.
The cover is made from two pieces of die cut (white and pink) adhered using 3D tape. Front and back of the card I connected using a narrow ribbon. I decorated a card using flowers and leaves.

Supply List:

Paper: white 250gsm paper, digital paper, gold paper
Accessories: ribbon, pearls, flowers, 3D tape, Platinum Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, May Die of the Month

For this month's Die of the Month, we cut it up and folded it up!
More inspiration is just a click away.  Stop by with each Creative Team Member to see how they manipulated this die to come up with a unique project for you to try!
