Blue Christmas

Hey there! 

Today I'm on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog 

with a Christmas card project

created with 5 different die sets from

Dies R Us.

I have some beautiful patterned holiday themed paper

and used one of them with floral corners as my 

jumping off point in designing this card.

I also gathered some metallic card stock

in blue and silver along with a plain white.

I did my die cutting next.

Precious Marieke - Merry & Bright - Christmas Florals

Memory Box Dies - Merry Christmas Swash Scrip

Tutti Designs Stitched Rectangle Die Set

Tutti Nesting Stitched Banner Dies

 

I made a 5 x 7 inch white card base.

Cut a piece of matte metallic blue card to 5 x 7 inches

and adhered to card front.

I cut a 4.75 x 6.75 inch piece from a corner of the patterned paper

and attached to the card.

I began building my design by layering and attaching

the banner, cut from Silver and a coordinating patttern, to the card.

A blue die cut rectangle was added next.

The horn and sentiment, cut from silver, were added.

I decided to color the poinsettia and leaves which I cut out of white card stock

to match the patterned paper.

The finishing touches were the poinsettia, leaves and some pearls.

I added some glitter glue to the poinsettia.

                 

I hope I've provided some inspiration for you to

 play and create with your dies and we'd love for you 

to come and join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.

Hi there! Today I am over on the CutCardStock Creative Blog with a scrapbook page created with some beautiful card stock from CutCardStock.

Please, please, please tell me I am not the only one that is a little bit slow in scrapbooking special occasions in the life of your family? I mean, my kids are 34 and 30 and I'm just now getting around to this!!!

As per the norm, I chose papers in traditional Christmas colors to go with my photo. I went with Textured Red Discount Card Stock, Canvas Textured Green Discount Card Stock, Royal Sundance White Felt Card Stock and 2 patterned card stocks.

Next I matted a 11.50 x 11.50 inch piece of the Textured Red Discount Card Stock, a piece of 8.50 x 8.50 inch piece of Royal Sundance White Felt Card Stock and my photo with the Canvas Textured Green Discount Card Stock.

I picked out some dies I thought would work well on my layout and cut using the red, green and white card stocks. I did some layering and added some glitter to some of the pieces.

I started "building" my page by adding a strip of patterned paper the white matted piece and some of the die cuts. I added some handout pieces of the white card below the trees for a "snow effect".

I added the other printed paper pieces, my photo and remaining die cuts. I ended up adding a thin strip of red card and a glittered border sticker to complete.

I hope I’ve inspired you with this project! If so, please leave a comment below and we would love for you to connect with us on our Facebook Page.
