Candlelit Christmas 3 - Heartfelt Creations

Hello

This set of cards again features the papers, dies and stamps from Candlelit Christmas.

This card front panel was layered on to blue card which covers the card front. The large candle image has been stamped, coloured with inks, die cut and mounted inside the oval. Holly vines and leaves, and poinsettias die cut from the papers, moulded and assembled, were added around the candle. A sentiment from the papers was tucked in. Gems, glitter glue and stardust pens were used for highlights.

The design for this card mimics the design on the paper panel. I die cut the centre image and matted it on blue card.  The card was layered with red card, then the paper panel placed on top. Starlight border was die cut and added over the printed design along the edges. The candle image was mounted in the centre, and the starlight corner piece added on top. Holly vines, leaves and poinsettias were next, with a ticket tucked behind. Gems, glitter glue, glossy accents, and stardust and Wink of stella pens were used.

To make this card I cut away the front of the base leaving only a 2.5 cm section. The starlight circle die was cut in white card, which I then layered on to acetate.

A square card paper panel was added to the inside back of the card, after first attaching the Noel ticket with a brad. The sentiment was taped on. A strip of paper was added to the other inside panel.

For the front of the card, the acetate lined circle was taped on and paper, matted on to blue card laid over the top. A holly vine, holly leaves, and poinsettias were added.

Gems, glitter glue and glossy accents finished off.

I hope you are enjoying these cards and finding the ideas inspiring. There are more to come.

Till next time

Stampin' Up Mini Pizza Boxes...

 Hello

Just sneaking in a non-Christmas post hehehe! These mini pizza boxes from Stampin' Up are sooo cute!

After assembling the mini boxes, I have created 4 mini cards to be placed inside each box. 

The beautiful papers for the above and below sets are from Die Cuts with A View Paper pads.

The papers below are from Stampin' Up.

I have used a selection of flowers from various companies with either rhinestones or ''flower" centres.

The top of the box has been decorated to co-ordinate with the cards and each card has an envelope to suit.

I has so much fun creating these minis!

Until next time,

A second piece of card was then cut using the whole outline die, for the front of the card. The filigree shape was then cut in blue and fixed on top. An image panel from the papers was die cut with the eyelet circle die, and layered on to a slightly larger circle die cut from silver foil card. This was then mounted on to the card front.

G'Day it's Christmas - Kaszazz Sketchy Emu 1 & 2

 Hello

To create these fun cards I used stamps and papers from Kaszazz - Greetings from Australia collection.

I first cut a tent fold card base, then cut a rectangular aperture from the card front. The same size rectangle was used to cut an aperture into each of a slightly smaller piece of white card to fit inside the card front, and from Garland paper for the card front. The same rectangle was also cut from even smaller red card to form a frame for the front.

The emu was stamped on to vellum and coloured on the back with markers.

Garland paper was cut to fit the inside of the card back and fixed in place.

                  Inside back of card

To assemble the card front the emu panel was added, the paper layered on top and then the red frame. The G'day it's Christmas sentiment is part of a larger stamp which was masked, then stamped and fussy cut to size. This was then fixed across the base of the card. A small Santa hat was stamped, coloured and fussy cut, then added to the emu. Some gum leaves and flowers were fussy cut from wreath paper and added to the top corner. Have a Good One sentiment was stamped on to the reverse of garland paper and added inside the card. Gems were added to the emu eyes and the card front corners, and Stickles glitter glue to the hat and gum flowers.

This card is much more simple. It is an A5 card scored and folded at the 7.5 cm line. Panels of Garland paper were cut to fit both inside panels and the front of the card. Have a Good One was stamped onto the reverse of a piece of Wreath paper and die cut into a circle. This was attached to the inside back of the card, and gum flowers and leaves fussy cut from wreath paper and added. A second circle of the same paper was die cut and attached to the other side for a message.

For the front of the card the emu, the Santa hat and the sentiment were stamped on to white card. The images were coloured with pencils and a water brush, then fussy cut. The hat was glued onto the emu, and the image then mounted to the card front. The sentiment was added above.

Pearls were coloured with Tri Blend markers and added to the eyes and corners of the card. Glitter glue was used on the flowers and Santa hat, and glossy accents on the emu's beak.

I hope you enjoy these fun cards.
