Leaves of Holly card with a gift card option & video

We made this pretty Christmas card at my November Card Clubs.  It features the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here. 

Leaves of Holly Nov Save

I chose these colors – Evening Evergreen, Real Red, White & Soft Succulent.  I sure love the dies in this set; the greeting label with the attached holly leaves is special. 

*Unfortunately the Holly Berry dies are unavailable right now; they expect they'll be back in stock around December 19th.  

LEAVES OF HOLLY BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

I think this is a classic Christmas bundle you'd find yourself using often.  It's retiring on December 1st and while supplies last. 

I gave my gals a choice of 'berry' options.  On the left card below we added two die-cuts from the bundle.  On the right card we added a Textural Element that is colored with Blends markers.  It was almost a tie on which option they chose.

I stamped the two more open leave images 2-3 times each in the two green colors and added the greeting element over them.  You can see how in the video below.  It's actually an easy card to make.

If you want to add an easy gift card option to any card simply add a strip of DSP across the bottom of the inside. Punch the center with any circle or decorative punch and aAttach it with glue on the outer and lower edges only.

    I have never had a demonstrator join my team and regret it.  They all love it as long as they stay active.  Some people stay a while and others do not.  I hope you stay awhile but if you don't, that's fine too.  There is no pressure to continue once you decide to leave.  You simply stop placing orders. 

    I have many people take advantage of this deal just to stock up on essentials or to get items on their long wishlist. Then when they're stocked up, they stop ordering. It's just that simple! No pressure to sell or hold events. Just enjoy the 20% discount while you can. Email me with any questions you have.

  • Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!

    If you struggle to get a smooth blend I have a few suggestions for you.  We made this striking card at a class this weekend.  Everyone loved it and they all turned out fabulous!

    Stencil masking technique Save

    Details:

    • The colors here are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler; with a bit of gold glitz thrown in.
    • The leaves are die-cut from the Intricate Leaves dies seen here. 
    • The greeting is from the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set in the Holiday catalog. I love this greeting!  See it here.

    Here are some tips & suggestions for perfect Ombre' blending:

    • Use out Blending Brushes; they really do make a smooth blend easier.
    • Choose colors that are similar in hue. For instance blues and greens, or yellows to reds.  
    • Blend over a Decorative Mask – see them all here.  The patterned stencils/masks seem to break up any inconsistencies in your blending. 
    • Here I added color onto Crumb Cake card stock; that also helps and would be a a good color to practice on. 
    • I start out with the lightest color and work my way downward; in this case at an angle.  
    • I leave a tiny space between colors and make sure to blend/connect them by going into the previous color just a bit before moving.
