Today I'm sharing Graphic 45's Mon Amour collection paired with a variety of dies to create my card and envelope. This is a 6"x6" card base and I used my fav Whirl White cardstock from Spellbinders Celebra'tions line for the base and envelope.
The flower comes from Heartfelt Creations Blazing Poppy die and the flourishes are from Marianne Designs Vintage Swirls dies.
With the addition of some Pearls, Glossy Accents and a little glitter my card's done. Come join me on the video, I'll share my supplies, my plan and the finished card.
On today's video I'll share four cards designed with Spellbinders Holiday Holly Frame dies, Graphic 45's Christmas Carol collection and Sizzix Stripes Embossing folder. Each of my cards are 5"x7" a little larger than my norm but the Holly Frame is larger and needs more room to show off it's gorgeous details.
For the card bases and the frame die cuts I used Spellbinders Celebra'tions Whirl White and Cuddle Cream cardstock. This cardstock is fast becoming one of my favorites. The finish is smooth and it handles score marks and folds like a dream. I'd say add this to your crafty wish list for sure.
I found Snow-Tex from DecoArt at my local craft store and used it to add the look of snow to my cards. I really think I like the Aleene's Glitter Snow better, it's easier, in my opinion, to work with. I wasn't able to find it at this time of year locally and the Snow-Tex works it's just more fiddly. I also used Frosted Lace Stickles to go over the printed snowflakes that are printed on the paper. I did a lot of fussy cutting for these cards and added pieces of the cut aparts from the collection for sentiment spots or greeting spots on the inside.
If you have older collections be sure and check to see if any of the patterns match up to the new or if you can add any of the images. I didn't want to cut the first page of the Christmas Carol collection up yet I loved the yellow snowflake dots on the red background that was on the back. When I went pawing through my old collections I found this print in the Christmas Emporium collection and on the reverse side were these darling little girls. I used the yellow snowflakes and red on the mat below and fussy cut girls on the reverse side of the paper for the inside above. So nice to have things work together and Graphic 45 is wonderful about being able to interchange collections (based on color or design) from present and past collections.
Come and join me on today's video, I have four cards to share with you, one we will make together. I'll walk through the other three with you and I'll share any tips I learned in the process with you. There are lots more photos to inspire you to get started on your Christmas card making too!
Today I've got a wide assortment of inspiration for you all cut from Sizzix's new BIGZ XL die Box with Drawers. I just love how different each looks from the change of papers and embellishments.
Each year I try to find something small and cute to make up for Christmas presents for my neighbors and I think I've found what I'll be making this year. Here I've used Graphic 45's newest collection A Christmas Carol. All I need now is to decide what sweet treats I'll fill each drawer with.
I like to have things on hands to give to friends as well and wouldn't this work well for a thank you or Happy Birthday? Filling the drawers with some money for my teen aged Granddaughters wouldn't be a bad idea either.
The drawers measure a tad over 2 inches square x 3/4" high so in total the case is just shy of 3 1/2" . You can use any paper collection to decorate the drawers inside and out and line the inner and outer case to hold them in.
With just bits and bobs of lace, bling, flowers and trinkets you're sure to have just what you need for the top as well. I used Spellbinders Coredina'tions Celebrations Whirl White and Cuddle Cream for my base and drawers.
The possibilities are really endless with just a little imagination. With these drawers I misted them with 3 of Tim Hotz's newest colors, Cracked Pistachio, Fossilized Amber and Abandoned Coral, great color combos.
I hope you'll be inspired to make your own boxes real soon!
On today's video I'll share the tips and tricks I discovered while making my boxes, the sizes you'll need to cut to mat everything and loads more photos. Thanks for joining me everyone.
