Decandent Teal & Ivory - Christmas Blessings

Good Morning Everyone

Thank you all for the lovely comments and emails you keep sending, its lovely to read them all, I appreciate you taking the time to do this,

On with today's card an 8 x 8 Christmas Card

Product Used:- (which are also links to Phill's website) :-)


Teal Card Stock
Ivory Card Stock
Decadent Teal Colour Cloud Ink
Decadent Teal Twinkles
Christmas Holly Background Stamp
Christmas Holly Sentiment Stamp
Sue Wilson Die - Caribbean Collection - St Kitts
Spellbinder Die Create-a-Flake Three
Creative Expressions Clear Micro Glass Beads
A4 Self Adhesive Sheets
Seam Binding
Small & Medium Dazzlers

First I made an 8 x 8 card in Teal by cutting 20cm x 20cm sq
and 20cm x 23cm
score and join on the reverse

Matting & Layering:

19.5cm sq Ivory Card
19cm sq Teal Card
18.5cm sq Ivory Card

Then attach all these flat to the card.

Using a piece of  Ivory Card cut to 18cm sq I created the background using Decadent Teal Colour Cloud and the Christmas Holly Background Stamp.
Once this was dry I cut a piece of the Self Adhesive Sheeet to 18cm sq.
After carefully removing the backing sheet, after carefully removing the backing sheet I covered the card with Micro Beads. ( I used a shallow box for this then poured the surplus beads back into the jar). I then attached this to the card.

Sentiment:
 Using the 2 largest dies I cut these out in Ivory and backed onto Teal Card.

With the 3rd largest I cut this out in Ivory and stamped the  Sentiment using Decadent Teal Colour Cloud Ink. Then attached these to the card using pads.

 Finishing Touches:

Using dies Create-a-Flake 3 I cut several out in both Ivory and Teal, shaped and attached to the card. Then added a small Dazzler to centres.

Making a triple bow and swags with Teal Seam Binding I attached this to the card and added a Medium Dazzler.

Finally I edged around the outer edge of the sentiment with Decadent Teal Twinkles and Glamour Dust around the inner and snowflakes.

White & Burgundy Card Featuring Sentimentally Yours Christmas Holly Range

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my previous posting. I would also like to thank everyone who took the time to come and say 'Hello' at Doncaster at the weekend, it was lovely to meet you all.


Today's card is an 8 x 8

Products used: (which are linked to items on Phill's Website too) :-)

Plain White Card Stock
Burgundy Card Stock
Double Sided  Self Adhesive
Clear Glass Micro Beads
Spellbinder Die
Christmas Holly Collection Verses
Christmas Holly Stamps
Burgundy Seam Binding
Creative Expressions Self Adhesive Pearls
Creative Expressions Pins

Starting with an 8 x 8 White Card Blank

Layer 1 Burgundy Card
cut to 7.5 x 7.5

Layer 2 White Card cut to 7 x 7

Layer 3 Burgundy Card cut to 6.75 x 6.75

Layer 4 White Card cut to 6.5 x 6.5

Double Sided Adhesive cut to 6.5 x 6.5 I then glued layers 1-3 onto the White Card.


Next using layer 4 and Stamps from Sentimentally Yours
New Christmas Holly Collection, I chose Aged Mahogany
Distress Ink to create the background.

Taking the piece of Double Sided Adhesive I peeled back the top corners to line up with layer 4 and carefully removed the backing sheet.

 I then removed  the top sheet to reveal the adhesive and added the Micro Beads. To do this I find it easier to place project into a shallow box or tin before adding beads,
 then surplus beads can be poured back into the jar.

I chose a Spellbinder Die and cut the bottom layer in burgundy and the top in white before adding one of the lovely Sentiments from the New Christmas Holly Collection.

I stamped this with Aged Mahogany to match the background.


I added these to the card using pads.

Next I added the Self Adhesive Pearl Strips around the edge.

Finally I added a triple bow (upside down lol) and stick pins.
