Doodled Christmas Candles Cover Plate

For my first card, I decided to make the beauty of the die shine, I cut it out from silver foiled card stock and layered it on glittered charcoal patterned paper. To finish I added the sentiment strip at the focal point.

For my second card, I dry embossed the cover plate die on brown card stock and paired it warm winter images included a coffee cup and mittens, colored with Prismacolor Pencils. I have used Christmas Cookies & Cheer  [for the sentiments], Coffee Happy and Warm Hands, Warm Hearts

Now let me show you the phrase dies and the cards I created with it.

Christmas Blessings Phrase Die

I worked with neutral colors on this card and traditional colors for my second card :)

For both of the cards, I made similar designs, using different products, For the first one I used ornament die and for the second one I used a floral die to make my ornaments, I also cut out strips of glitter paper to build the background on my second card :) I have used Christmas Baubles #2 Layering Dies, Trendy Spring Blooms Dies

Making Spirits Bright Phrase Die

For these two card I went with Christmas colors, I scored lines on blue card stock for my first card, added snow hill and winter images, I layered the sentiment die on red to add dimension. 

For my second card, I cut out the tree to make three styles out of one die :) and build up the scene :) I have used Christmas Icons - Christmas Tree #2, Stitched Snow Hills and Warm Hands, Warm Hearts stamp set

Super fun! I had fun playing with new dies:)

Let me show you the set and the cards I made :)

My cards showcase the no line coloring on one with Distress inks and another one involves pure stamping :)

I stamped the line image multiple times on water color card stock with a light shade of Distress inks and then water colored it with Distress inks I then drew detail lines on the petals to add some depth and dimension. To finish I stamped the sentiment in black.

For my second card I went with grey card stock with a pop of red...

I stamped the solid image and line image with white ink on grey card stock, I then did red stamping for the berries and the ribbon. I added some white splatter and pearls to accent my design. To finish I stamped the sentiment.

Super fun! I so love Shirley's layering sets :)

Spellbinders - Holiday Die D-Lites Take 2

Hello friends! I am back with Take 2 of Spellbinders newest Holiday D-Lites collection and I have created a card using DIE D-LITES REINDEER ETCHED DIES and DIE D-LITES SNOWFLAKES ETCHED DIES 2018 HOLIDAY collection.

Let me show you the card, I created... I wanted to stick to traditional Christmas colors and make the reindeer the focal point.

To make this I took a white card stock panel and drew the sunburst using a ruler and a pencil. I then masked and inked them in Red Distress inks. I die cut the reindeer, did some inking on the edges to give some dimension and depth. I then layered the pieces to build the reindeer. Splattered some water on inked panel. I also added die cut snowflakes and finished the card with a sentiment.

These are the products, I used Die D-Lites Snowflakes. Die D-lite Reindeer and sentiment from CAS-ual Friday's Stamps ...

 

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you liked my creation :)

Spellbinders - Holiday Die D-Lites !

Hello friends! I am back with more Spellbinders goodness :) We all love Holidays season and now is the perfect time to build up your holiday greeting collection. Thank you Spellbinders for sending these goodies to help me kick start my holiday cards. Today I have the newest Holiday D-Lites collection to showcase and I have created a couple of cards using DIE D-LITES SNOWFLAKES ETCHED DIES 2018 HOLIDAY collection.

Let me show you the cards, I created... I wanted my snowflakes to shine so I die cut these using silver glitter card stock. For my first card I kept the tones neutral to make the snowflakes the star of the card. 

To make this I took a grey card stock panel and embossed it with snowflakes. twice along the opposite edges. I also die cut some flourish using the Spellbinders Large Die of the month - Aug 2018 in white card stock. I then arranged it on white base as seen. I added some pearls for embellishment and silver heat embossed sentiment to finish my card. I also scored lines on card base for the lower edge.

My second card is more on the bright side. Making glitter paper the star.

To make this I took three colors of glitter paper and cut out stripes of varying thickness from each. I then adhered them on a panel diagonally. Once this was done, I embossed the snowflake. Here is the fun trick... I embossed and then place the silver die cut snowflakes in the embossed areas to give an inlaid look without actually inlaying it. In laid die cutting would have been really time taking for this one :D To finish I added this panel over a sliver strip at the base. Stamped the sentiment on vellum, added silver sequins to finish the card.

These are the products, I used Die D-Lites Snowflakes. Large Die of the month club kit - Aug 2018 and sentiment from CAS-ual Friday's Stamps ...

 

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you liked my creations, stay tunes as I will be back with more inspiration using another one of the Holiday Die D- Lites set :)
