    A Classic Holiday Card

    Hi Everyone, It’s Tina here. By now you have seen the new Holiday release. Today’s card is featuring the Christmas Tree Coverplate die. I decided to use it in a different way. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, score at 4 1/4” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card (A2)

    Step 2 – Trim Red Metallic Cardstock to 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 3 – Trim Gold Metallic Mirror Cardstock to 5 1/2” x 4”. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 4 – Trim Red Metallic Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Using any foil press machine you have trim foil paper to the size of the Christmas Tree Coverplate. Using the sandwich that your machine advises foil the Christmas Tree Coverplate onto Red Metallic Paper with Gold Foil. Trim Cardstock and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 5 – Diecut Merry Christmas With Shadow Die (on the word Merry) x 3. Two scratch piece of cardstock and one Gold Metallic cardstock. Adhere all 3 using Collage Medium with the Gold on top. Adhere to card using Collage Medium.

    Step 6 – Stamp Merry Critters sentiment using Versamark on Red Metallic Cardstock. Sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a heat tool. Trim and adhere to card using Collage Medium.

    If you don’t have a Foil Press Machine you can the Christmas Tree Coverplate as a stencil with Deco Foil Transfer Gel onto Red Metallic Cardstock. Let it dry and apply Gold Foil. Pass it through a Laminator and remove the Gold Foil.

    Christmas Cover Plates with Martha Lucia

    Hi there, Martha Lucia here with you. I want to share the new Christmas Cover Plates from Kat Scrappiness. I am fascinated with them because they are elegant, beautiful and versatile!

     

    Christmas Cover Plates with Martha Lucia

    The first, is this Chirstmas Tree Cover Plate. The size is just perfect to create a entire layout. This design don’t require a lot of work but invite you to use different textures or materials. I used Gold Glitter Sheets from Tim Holtz. Mime were adhesive and to give more dimension, I paste it over regular card stock and then I passed it through the big shot with the Christmas Tree Cover Plate.

     

    Christmas Cover Plates with Martha Lucia

    I added the die cut piece over a real red card base using double sided foam tape. As final touch, I added some Brown Jewels from the Kat Scrappiness Collection.

    My next project is using the second die cut released today, the Ornament Strip Cover Plate. This has a complete strip of ornaments with great design and dimension!

     

    Christmas Cover Plates with Martha Lucia

    I die cut the Ornament Strip Cover Plate using Whisper White card stock and blue glitter sheet. I pasted both pieces with a few lines of difference to create the sensation of movement.

     

    Christmas Cover Plates with Martha Lucia

    I completed the design with a sentiment from the stamp set Merry Critters from Kat Scrappiness.

    The third project is a card that I made for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

     

    Christmas Cover Plates with Martha Lucia

    I made this inspired in one design of my team mate Angie Cimbalo. She sent me a card recently and I love it.

     

    Christmas Cover Plates with Martha Lucia

    To make this, I used the Stamp Set Let’s Get Caffeinated. But let me share the easy steps to create this. First I die cut a zig zag stitched circle from a whisper white card stock and from soft suede card stock, both the same sizes. Then with masking paper and distress ink I created the color strips. I used Mowed Lawn, Fossilized Amber and Fired Brick Distress Ink. To finalize the design, I stamped the sentiment message and some coffee grains using Memento Rhubarb Stalk Ink. I pasted both pieces a little moved over the whisper white card base and added a strip of designer paper on the left border.

    You can find these products now on Kat Scrappiness Store and remember that this week the entire store is 15% Off for Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

    Coffee Lover Gift Card Holder

    Coffee Lovers Unite!

    Who does’t know someone that is a coffee addict? We all know them and think about the perfect gift for them at this time of year. Well how about a gift card to their favorite coffee shop?

    This is a simple gift card holder decorated with the KS Layered Coffee Cup Die. I embossed snowflakes on the body of the cup in Brutus Monroe Alabaster Embossing Powder. I made a stitched tag stamped with a Honey Bee sentiment from the Blah Blah Blah Stamp Set. The insulated sleeve was die cut from corrugated Craft paper. A half Circle was punched in the side of the holder to make it easy to remove the gift card. How simple is this gift card holder to make? (This would be great for any type of gift card.) Cheers

    Supply List:

    KS -Layered Coffee Cup Die

    B|M -Alabaster Embossing Powder

    November Card Challenge Inspiration

    Here is some Inspiration from me to get you started!

    I used my cover plate maple leaf die from the Crafter’s Essentials Fall Die Set to cut my panel.

    I die cut some extra leaves diagonally across my panel so there are more places to see the Autumn Harvest Sequins.

    I added a Kat Scrappiness Acetate sheet to the top of my panel and  foam tape around the die cut leaves to keep the Autumn Harvest Sequin Mix  close to the leaf “windows”.

    I stamped my “Thanks” Sentiment to my panel, then I filled my shaker with the Autumn Harvest Sequin mix.

    Supplies used:

    I can’t wait to see what you create for this month’s challenge.  Remember the prizes are:
