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.
