Today I have my last Christmas card for Christmas in July and I have used the Amazing Paper Grace May 2019 Die of the Month – Nostalgic Serenade to create a background for the gorgeous bird and snowman and some snowy poinsettias. The very sweet embellishments take the background layering dies to a new dimension for a classic, timeless and elegant card that will delight the recipient for many years to come. And the copperplate script hot foiled sentiment adds the perfect finish to this card.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
For my project I have created a top folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I then layered gold and ivory pearl card to the front. I then die cut the outer frame from the Amazing Paper Grace May 2019 Die of the Month – Nostalgic Serenade out of gold cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card with foam strips. I die cut the inner label from the same die set out of gold cardstock and added it to the centre of the frame using thicker foam tap. I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Holiday Glimmer Sentiments using gold foil on ivory pearl card before die cutting with the inner plain edge die and added this to the gold label with foam tape.
I die cut two flourishes out of gold cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies and adhered one to the top right of the frame and one to the bottom left of the frame. I die cut the bird out of white and gold cardstocks, assembled it before adding it to the top right of the frame over the flourish with foam tape.
I die cut the snowman out of white, blue, orange cardstock using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Let It Snowman A2 Card Front Dies and assembled it before gluing to some gold cardstock. I cut the snowman out leaving the gold behind the snowman and then added it to the left of the frame over the flourish with foam tape
I die cut the foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Poinsettia Sleigh out of green cardstock and added the leaves around the bird and snowman.
I die cut the poinsettia flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Poinsettia Sleigh out of white cardstock. I coloured the flowers with green and blue inks before assembling with two petals per flower of the same size. I added snow to the flowers using TCW Opalescent Stardust Butter and then when dry added them around the bird and snowman.
To complete the card I added some gold pearls to the centre of the snowman belly, the poinsettias and around the sentiment.
