Season's Greetings Card

 

Hello friends. I hope that you are well and having a good week. This is my very last, last minute Christmas card which also uses products from the same paper Collection as my previous card. The Christmas Miracle Kit has so many beautiful images and I wanted to explore using blue tones, which featured in some of the papers.

To help me design my card, I used a card sketch which is something that I often do.

I also created my own poinsettias using distress inks and also watercolour paper. I followed a tutorial by emilia sieradzan to make my flowers and they complimented my card perfectly. I used Spellbinders dies from my stash to frame the Santa image and foam tape to add dimension.

To complete my card, the sentiment was framed with patterned paper and and I added some pearls to

enhance the frame.

Once again, it felt great to be using supplies that were from my stash. Please note that a lot of these products may not be available but you can certainly find similar products and be inspired by my card when creating your own.

Supplies:

Kaisercraft Christmas Miracle Kit Paper Christmas Tree

Kraft cardstock, Anko Watercolour paper 180gsm, Ruby Rock-It Snow White Coarse Glitter, Distress Ink Broken China

Dies: Waffle Flower A7 layers die and additional layers die, Sizzix bigz texture fades layered tattered poinsettia, Magnolia Christmas poinsettia, Memory Box elegant scrollwork, Spellbinders Fleur de Elegance, Hero Arts frame cut oval, Spellbinders bird poinsettia collection.

'Tis the Season ~ Christmas Card

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a Christmas card that I have made...last minute. I always think that I have enough made in my stash..but I don't! So I am making cards from products that I have in my stash which is very satisfying.

I am using products from an older Kaisercraft kit that was released a few years ago when I was on their Design Team. It has a vintage feel which is my favourite type of product to create with. I used foliage from my stash to frame the image of Santa and die cut some foliage to add extra dimension. I also inked the edges with some Distress ink.

I really enjoyed creating this card and will make another card using more products from this kit.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft Christmas Miracle Kit SB104, Christmas Collage and Star Tile, Lace Trimming

Cardstock Spruce CD168, Forest CD114, Kraft

Dies: Memory Box Elegant Scrollwork, Spellbinders Opulent Ovals, Hero Arts Infinity Ovals, Spellbinders Christmas Bird Poinsettia Collection (foliage only used)

Blooms: Petaloo Suga Red Berrys Clusters Green, Anko Poinsettia Flowers, Ultimate Crafts Mixed Primrose Flowers

Other: Kaisercraft Pearls Red SP795, Distress ink Ground Espresso

Please note, a lot of these products are from my stash and I have has for a long time. I hope you find inspiration for your own cardmaking.

Shabby Chic Explosion Box

Hello everyone! I hope that yo are having a wonderful week. Today I am sharing a project that I have created using  the French Roses Collection from Megs Garden.

 I decided to create an explosion box, as I wanted to feature the ephemera (cut and create elements of the collection), lace and also beautiful flowers that coordinate so beautifully with this collection.

The centrepiece of my project is the cake. It features lace, pearls and flowers from Megs Garden.

On all of my panels, I used a circular Marianne Design die as my base and built up from it. Here I added a clock ephemera element as my focal image and added some flowers and a butterfly.

 Adding a flourish and flowers adds a a softness to each page and an overall cohesion to the panels.

When selecting my images, I selected pairs...two florals and two non florals...for balance.

Supplies:

Megs Garden French Roses
Flowers
Lace
Bundle Pinks Shabby Chic

Other: Hero Arts Infinity Circle dies, Memory Box Amira Flourish, Botannical Stem and Whimsical Flourish, Marianne Design CR1201.
