    Hello everyone!

    It’s Donna Idlet here today sharing a card featuring the NEW A2 Buffalo Plaid Backdrop Dies, Layered Poinsettia dies, and the Joy w/Shadow die.

    Here is my card for your inspiration:

    I’m in love with the NEW Layered Poinsettia die. I die cut the poinsettia using pink paper and  the leaves using green paper and then inked the blended the pedals, I then added some splatters for some texture.
    For the background I used the NEW  Buffalo Plaid Backdrop Dies, die cutting the top layer with white cardstock and the bottom with silver glitter paper.
    I added the Joy from the Joy w/Shadow die, I die cut the shadow in black and the letters with the silver glitter paper.  For finishing touches I added some KS Lemon Yellow Pearl Mix in the center of the flower.

    Here is a closer look at the poinsettia, I love all the dimension.

    Step 2 – Trim White Glitter Cardstock to 3 1/4″ x 5 3/4″. Diecut Snowflake Trio using the 2 largest dies on the trimmed White Glitter Cardstock. Keep the diecuts and adhere the panel to the card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue. Diecut the Snowflakes Trio using White Glitter Cardstock and Silver Matte Cardstock in various sizes. Using Bearly Art Precision Glue adhere the Silver Matte diecuts, then top it with the White Glitter diecuts.

    Santa Flying Over The Mountains Card

    Hey crafty friends! Today I am sharing a Christmas card showcasing the Slimline Mountainscape dies from Kat Sprappiness paired with the flying Santa from the new The Night Before Christmas Window Scene dies. I just LOVE this wintery scene! I am imagining Santa flying over the mountains on his way back to the North Pole after a long night of delivery presents! Here is how I made this card

    1. I decided to cut down the slimline mountains to a mini-slimline size, so I first cut out all the mountain dies from Neenah cardstock and then ink blended the mountains and trees with Distress inks. I wanted some dimension on the snow peaks of the mountains, so I decided to try out the new Deco Topping Marble-First Snow media from Kat Scrappiness. I loved how this turned out – it looks like packs of snow on the snow peaks!
    2. I then ink blended the background card panel with blue distress inks and glued the mountains onto the card panel using Bearly Art Glue. I popped the trees with foam tape. I then cut off the excess scene to match up to the mini-slimline card base. I then added some white splatter for a snowy scene using white acrylic paint.
    3. I then cut out the flying Santa from The Night Before Christmas Window Scene dies with black glitter cardstock. I then popped Santa above the mountains using foam tape so he flying in the sky.
    4. I then used the Happy Holidays sentiment from the Reindeer Games Sentiment stamp set and white embossed the sentiment on a piece of red cardstock I had in my stash. I cut the sentiment down to a strip and popped the sentiment onto the card base with foam tape.
    5. I then added some Sparkling Snow Pearl Mix embellishments to add the extra sparkle to my card before gluing the card panel onto a mini slimline card base.

    I love how this scene turned out! It is such a cute scene! I hope you got inspired by my card and I hope you have a great day! Don’t forget the Kat Scrappiness sale this month! Use the code CHRISTMAS10 to get 10% off Christmas items! Sale runs until December 24th! Thank you for stopping by!

    Happy Wednesday everyone.  It’s Caren here on the blog today.  Do you give gift cards during the holidays?  I always ending up giving a couple of gift cards.  Today I’m sharing several gift card holders I created with the Gift Card Pocket die.  What I love about this die is that you can use as it or attach it to a card, package, and gifts.

    These were so fun and quick to make!

     

    Thanks for stopping by!

    More than just cards?

    Hi friends!  Kim here with you today, and I am sharing a project that is not a card!  I wanted to show how versatile the amazing dies are!  First, I would love to know if you create handmade gifts or not.

    Rather than creating a card, I used the Mason Jar Shaker Card Dies to create an ornament.   I had seen an advertisement for a wood shaker ornament somewhere, and I immediately thought that I could recreate it using these dies.

    Here are the instructions for creating the ornament:

    1.  Die-cut the mason jar outline from heavy cardstock several times.  I used heavy kraft cardstock and I cut 6 outlines.
    2.  Die-cut the solid portion of the mason jar twice from acetate.
    3.  Adhere acetate to the top of one outline die-cut, the bottom of one outline die-cut and set them aside to dry completely if using a liquid adhesive.
    4.  Using the remaining die-cut pieces, adhere them together and adhere to the bottom die-cut that has acetate adhered to the top.   This will create your shaker base.  Allow to dry completely if using liquid adhesive.
    5.  Once the layers are dry, add your shaker bits.  I used the Holiday Bliss Mix for my ornament.
    6.  Adhere the top of the shaker (acetate is adhered to the bottom of the die-cut layer) to the base and allow to dry.
    7.  Die-cut the “fabric” piece from your favorite patterned paper and the jar band from your favorite metallic paper.  I used the Gobble Gobble 6 x 6 Paper Pad.
    8.  Prior to adhering the “fabric” and band, wrap a piece of jute around the top of the mason jar and tie it to create a hanger.
    9.  I added two banners and hand wrote the year on one of them, adhered them down and then added the “fabric” piece and jar band.
    10.   Add a simple bow and any other desired embellishments.

    Shopping List:

    Mason Jar Shaker Card Dies

    Holiday Bliss Mix

    Gobble Gobble 6 x 6 Paper Pad

    I hope that you are inspired to find new ways of using your products!  I had so much fun creating this ornament, and I am amazed at how simple it really was!

    Thanks so much for hanging out with me!
