Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet


I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

~~~

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies. 

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use. 

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set. 

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?


Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

  • Pretty Friends for Life card with video tutorial & free project sheet


    Here's the 2nd card I made during last week's video with the Friends for Life bundle. 

    My colors include Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie and White. I've always loved pink & orange together for some reason. The white circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. They are in low inventory right now.

    Isn't this Full of Life designer paper stunning?! 

    The pretty designer paper can be seen here. 

    There are two 'friend' die-cuts. One layers over the other.  I cut the larger layer from the designer paper – it's an ombre effect.

    During the video I shared a second card as well.  I had a great time creating with this bundle. There are so many options between the stamps & dies.  See the Friends for Life bundle here. It was $53 and is now $47. 

    Below is the video for this card and another; both featuring this Full of Life suite. I hope you watch it to get the many tips I like to share in my videos.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there!

  • Friends for Life card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    On last week's video I shared two cards featuring the neat Friends for Life bundle and the Full of Life designer paper.  Here's the first card: 

    I love the bright colors here! The colors are inspired by the Full of Life DSP – Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue & Daffodil Delight. There is a layer of Shaded Spruce under the White layer to show off the heart die-cut. 

    This neat bundle is on sale in June; discounted by almost 20%. See the Friends for Life bundle here. 

    Notice the heart die-cut from the front layer? I saved it and added it inside the card. 

    I stamped the hearts on another part of the DSP and used the coordinating die to cut them out. The 'wishes' greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

    I kept the layout quite simple because the DSP, die-cuts and stamping are the star here. I die-cut the heart from the White layer before I stamped for ease of time during the video. I stamped the 'BEST' greeting first and then added the vertical highlight image in different colors, stamping off first for a lighter hue. I love the effect!

    Below is the video for this card and another; both featuring this Full of Life suite. I hope you watch it to get the many tips I like to share in my videos.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there!
