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. 

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.  

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.

  • Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video


    Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets.  Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.  

    I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners.  This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all.  I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving. 

    The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog. 

    My measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
    • White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
    • Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4" 

    Below is a photo of the pretty Decorative Borders stamp set.  There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too! 

    Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

  • Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold


    We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs.  It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here. 

     

    I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?  

    In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats.  It makes a world of difference!  *Catch the tips in the video below.


    *Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
    • Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”
    • White inside is 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
    • DSP 1 ½” X 5 ¼”

    I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings.  It has some fabulous images; see it here.
