Christmas Gift Card Holders

Hey!

Today I'm over on the

Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

sharing a set of 3 gift card holders

I created using 4 die sets from
Dies R Us.

I started by putting together the gift card holder itself

using a piece of 3.5 x 8.5 inch piece of patterned card stock.

I scored on the long edge at 2 & 6 inches.

I folded at the 6 inch score and adhered on the 2 sides to create

the pocket that holds the gift card. 

I folded on the 2 inch score to create the top flap of the gift card holder.

Next, I used the dies to cut the pieces used to decorate the holders

using white card stock and metallic red and green card stocks.

I added velcro under the upper flap to secure the holder closed

and a "Merry Christmas" sticker along the lower front edge.

Each of the dies I've used are linked

to the Dies R Us Store below.

November Designer Inspiration - Cute As a Button

Hi there!

I'm over on the
Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase
 with my project share for this month!

I was in Dollar Tree a few weeks ago

and picked up some unfinished holiday signs.

I thought sure I could use them, in some way,

 for some of my paper crafting projects. 

So, I came up with a wreath, using one of those signs,

a chipboard wreath form and this image from

Cute As A Button.

Christmas Hat

I colored the image with Prismacolor Premier Pencils and fussy cut.

I painted the wreath form and the wood sign with acrylic paints.

I adhered the sign to the wreath with hot glue.

Next I hot glued greenery, berry picks and metallic pipe cleaners

to the lower edge of the wreath.

 The image and a bow were added and I decided to

add a few more berries on the upper portion of the wreath.

I hope you like my project and

 that you'll check out this bundle

along with all the other  products available at

Cute As A Button!

And, don't forget to join us each month for the Blog Challenge

and the Facebook Progressive Challenge.

Christabelle

Hi there!

Today is my day to provide a little inspiration from

Digi Doodle Studios!

I love creating Christmas cards, but

sometimes I like playing with other types of crafts.

So, for this project I altered a bottle using

Christabelle.

I colored the image with SN Markers and fussy cut.

I had some pretty patterned paper, I thought would be

the perfect background for this digi, that has snowflakes 

and some sparkle. I traced a circle onto the back of

the paper and tore around the edges before gluing

to the bottle. Then, I came upon a die cut I had in my stash

and decided it would work great on the lower edge of the bottle.

After adding the image I started adding greenery, berry picks

and some glittery pipe cleaners. The finishing touches were

a bow and shimmering snowflake.

I love the way this turned out!

I hope I've provided some inspiration for you 

and that you'll check out all the fabulous products at 

Digi Doodle Studios!

We also invite you to join us for our monthly challenges at

Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog 

And, of course, we would love to see you over in the

Digi Doodle Studios Facebook Group!

Merry Christmas in Blue

Hey there!

I'm over on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog today

to share a Christmas Card I created combining

dies from Memory Box and Precious Marieke.

If you've not checked out the products available at

Dies R Us

you need to!

I gathered my materials to include the 4 die sets I used

plus a 5.5 x 5.5 inch card base, patterned paper, 

a blue matte metallic card stock, green metallic card stock,

 white card stock and some iridescent glitter glue.

Next, I did my die cutting.

I cut the frame and sentiment out of the blue card stock.

I cut the candle die 3 times, using the white, blue and green card stocks.

I cut 1 large flower, 3 medium and small flowers.

I assembled the candles using the white die cut as a base

and adhered the blue next. With the green, I snipped off the

candle portion, just leaving the foliage and

adhered to the blue layer. I ended up coloring the

flames of the candles with gold glitter gel pen.

I then layered the flowers, making 1 large and 2 medium sized,

using brads with gem centers.

I added some glitter glue to the flowers of a little sparkle.

Next, I assembled the card base by matting the patterned paper

with the blue matte metallic card stock and adhering to the card base.

Next I added the frame to the background

and layered the candles on the bottom edge.

I added the flowers to the candle foliage

and lastly, cut and matted a thin strip

of white card stock, adhered the sentiment

and applied to the lower portion of the card.

Each of the dies I've used are linked
