Meri Kirihimete
Wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas Day filled with fun and laughter and the love of family and friends.
New Zealand is the first country in the world to celebrate Christmas Day and I am waking up to Christmas Day here while I know some people are still in Christmas Eve around the world. This is my final Christmas card for this year and it seems fitting that I have used this die set from Amazing Paper Grace – All Hearts Come Home. The sentiments are just lovely and I have only used the one die set and an embossing folder for this very elegant and pretty Christmas card. I have sort of CASEd a card from one I saw on Instagram but I have added some sparkling embossing to make it my own.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
For my card I have made a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of Glacier cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and adhered it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of vellum the same size and embossed it with the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder and added some glitter with WOW Embossing Ink for a little sparkle.
I die cut two frames from the Amazing Paper Grace All Hearts Come Home Dies out of Snowdrift cardstock and adhered them together before gluing them to the front of the sparkly embossed vellum. I die cut the house out of Snowdrift cardstock and adhered some gold mirror cardstock on the back which was trimmed to the house. This was added to the middle of the frame. Finally I die cut the banner sentiment out of gold and Snowdrift cardstock and adhered them together and added to the top of the vellum. I added glue to the back of the vellum behind the die cut shapes only and adhered this to the front of the blue card on the card base.
I die cut two sets of the ‘for christmas’ sentiments – one from gold and one from white cardstock. I adhered the gold card sentiment dies to the white sentiment dies and adhered the sentiments to the base of the frame as shown.
To finish the card I have added gold .pearls to the frame as shown
