Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing another Christmas themed Floating Cube Fold Card using a tutorial by Sam Calcott, which you can find here.
This card folds down to 5 x 7 if you do the single row of cubes like I have for my card, or 7 x 7 if you have a row of cubes on each side of the white panel.
To decorate my card, I used Hero Arts Best Gift Ever Collection, which includes Press Plates, stencils and dies to create the presents. Rather than use the Betterpress, I used gold glimmer foil on all the bows & sentiments.
Here is a look at the back of my card, I added another sentiment and two more presents. Both sentiments used on this card are the negative image using the leftover foil after foiling the original.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a Gingerbread themed Christmas card using papers from Spellbinders / Stamperia Candy Christmas Collection. This was a nice quick card as it mainly uses papers or stickers from the collection.
I added the gingerbread house paper to the right side of my card. I then used a fishtail banner die to die cut the waffle paper on the left.
For the inside of the card, I added a gingerbread themed sentiment and also the gingerbread tree sticker.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a fun Christmas card using a tutorial from Sam Calcott. This is called a Floating Cube Tower Card and you can find her tutorial here.
I opted to just make the half version of the card, adding the 4 cubes to the left side of the card. The full version would have the cubes on both sides.
To decorate my card, I used Spellbinders Chimney Capers die set. I added the “Ho Ho Ho” sentiment to the moon area. I also added two strip sentiments to the bottom of the card using the Marry & Bright Sentiment Strip Betterpress set.
I added the “Merry Christmas” sentiment which is a foil plate from Waffle Flower, and also added another of the strip sentiments I used on the front.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I have a Christmas themed Shaker Card to share with you using products from Hero Arts Best Gift Ever Collection.
Using the stencil in this collection I stencilled 6 different panels in each of the colours used for the presents which you can see in the card above. I have lots of presents left over to make more cards using this collection.
Once I had the stencilled presents, I pulled out my glimmer machine and the Press Plate/Glimmer plate and gold foiled all the bows over the presents, this was pretty easy to line up.
I then used the coordinating die to die cut all the presents, which gave me a number of frames I could stack up to form my shaker well for my card.
I added the shaker elements to the shaker portion of the card and then added another frame to. which I had cover the back with acetate.
To finish the front of the card I used a sentiment from the coordinating Press Plate Sentiment set. I used the negative image for this particular card.
For the inside of the card, I added another sentiment from the Press Plate/Glimmer Sentiment set. I also added a Merry Cristhmas Betterpress image from Spellbinders under the sentiment. Both sentiments are also the negative image.
To finish off the inside, I added one of the extra presents I have in my stash for other cards.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a Postage Collage Christmas Card using products from Waffle Flower Crafts & Spellbinders.
The stencil to create the Snowman design is called Snowman and is from Waffle Flower Crafts. this is another stencil I got last year and ran out of time to use it, so I made sure I added it to my supplies to make cards this year.
For the background I used Spellbinders Snowfall Shimmer Betterpress Plate which I glimmered onto Waterfall cardstock using white foil. As I created a 5 x 7 card, I had to glimmer the card twice, the plate isn't continuous, but it doesn't look to noticeable seeing only a small amount is seen around the background.
The sentiment is another Betterpress plate from Spellbinders whic was also glimmered this time with black foil. These sentiments are the reverse using the left over foil from the first foiling.
For the inside I added another panel of the glimmered background.
I then added a glimmered sentiment and two postage cancellation images.
