Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Greetings

Today I am sharing the first Christmas card I have made this year and I am so happy to have made a start on them. The Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Dies make it so easy to make a shaped card with a nifty little hinge by die cutting close to the side edge with the tabs over the fold. This helps with allowing the card to fold over and more space if you wish add extra embellishments inside the card as well. For this card I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies as the base and the Amazing Paper Grace Santa Claus Layering Set Dies to decorate the front of the card.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

For my project today I created the base card using the outer shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies out of white cardstock. I then die cut three decorative panels using the shadow and inner decorative dies out of pearlescent cardstock that had a tinge of gold. I then added some double sided paper adhesive to the base of the front and the inner panels. I then removed the top of the adhesive paper before adding the decorative panels and then added some Diamond Sprinkles to the sticky paper for a sparkly finish.

I die cut two decorative circle frames out of gold mirror cardstock and white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Circle dies. These were stacked together with the gold on top and then added to the top of the circle on the front of the card.

I then die cut the sun ray die from the Amazing Paper Grace Santa Claus Layering Set Dies out of the pearl card. I added some more double sided adhesive paper to some pearl card and die cut it out with the plain circle die. I removed the top of the adhesive paper and then added the sunray die to the circle before adding some more Diamond Sprinkles.

I then die cut the Santa and tree die from the same set out of pearl cardstock and made sure to emboss the die before adding to the sunray circle with foam strips. This was then added to the middle of the gold Elegant Twist frame.

To finish the front I added some gold holly leaves to the base of the card, a gold pearl to the centre of the sun ray and some clear gems with gold dust radiating out from the centre and also the the leaves.

I repeated the same steps to the inside right panel of the card this time using the Christmas Greetings die from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies.

I left the inside left panel blank to write the greeting.

Christmas Poinsettias on a Triple Diamond Point Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have another Christmas card to share with you today that I have made for a challenge in a Facebook Group I belong to. The challenge was to use Susan’s Garden poinsettia flowers in a project. I have had the original Susan’s Garden Poinsettia dies from when Susan was with Sizzix and have never used them as I did not have all the right products to make them. Now this challenge has got me to make the poinsettia and yes I do have all the right tools and equipment now.

My project

I have made the base card using the instructions for the Triple Diamond Point Cards from YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3ESQqfhJSs&t=19s and decorated it with the new Heartfelt Creations Holiday Ornament paper collection and gold cardstock. One diamond point has a small decorative border from the Pink Fresh Studio Stitched Scallop Squares die.

I die cut the basket from the Susan’s Garden Gathering Basket dies out of Portabello cardstock and inked the basket with some brown inks to really show the texture of the basket. This was added to the bottom right of the card.

I have made the poinsettia, Bee Blossom flowers and leaves out of Susan’s Garden specialty papers which have been coloured with Copic markers. This paper is new to me and it was interesting to use but I am happy with the results. I have added Lemon Chiffon and Heart of Gold Prills to the stamens in the centre of the poinsettia and yellow pollen to the ends of the stamens in the Bee Blossom These were adhered to the basket and card as shown. I painted the poinsettia with clear gloss gel medium and finished with some clear Wink of Stella for a subtle shine. The holly and ivy sprays were die cut out of green cardstock. I painted the holly leaves with clear gloss gel medium and then added Red Berry Nuvo Drops to the berries and when dry I have added them around the flowers and leaves.

I have dyed some small styrofoam balls with green alcohol ink and adhered them over the the lighter green leaves and added some spots to them with a fine tip black marker.

To finish I have heat embossed in gold the sentiments from the Heartfelt Creations Christmas Holly Accents Cling stamp and die cut with the coordinating die. I then die cut another two plain dies and stacked the dies together with the embossed sentiment on top and adhered it to the centre diamond. I added some holly leaves and berries to the corner of this point.

I then added gold pearls to the front of the card.

For the inside of the card I have heat embossed the sentiment from the Starry Holiday Greetings in gold on white cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die. This was adhered to the inside of the card.
