We are on the last week before Christmas and I have another downunder Santa Christmas card to share with you. We are meant to be in summer here but we have had a lot of rain and storms over the last week so it will be quite a relief if we get a warm summer’s day for Christmas Day. My card today features another image from Montarga Rubber Stamp Shop in Christchurch and I have teamed it with the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square Dies which made a wonderful frame for the festive green, red and gold papers. I have also added some embellishments from the Amazing Paper Grace Noel Mini Slimline Dies on the corners of the square frame. Once I had the image coloured it did not take long for me to make the card once I had sorted the papers and dies.

Today I am sharing a card that I have created for a challenge in a Facebook group I belong to and the challenge is to create a card featuring a snow globe from any company’s designs. Of course I had to go to Amazing Paper Grace and the Let It Snowman dies from the Christmas Flourishes Collection by Becca Feeken. The colour combination on this card has been inspired by a card I saw on Instagram. I don’t normally put gold accents with soft blue and white but this combination really does work. This die set is an A2 set by I have made this A5 to really show up the embossed background I have created.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
To make my card I have created a side opening 5″ x 7″ card from white cardstock. I have added a piece of 5″ x 7″ Snowdrift card to the front of the card to coordinate with my die cuts. I then cut a piece of soft blue cardstock 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and added it to the front. I cut a piece of vellum the same size and embossed it with the Holly Flourish Embossing Folder. Before adding the vellum to the front of the card I die cut three frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Let it Snowman A2 Card Front Dies out of Snowdrift cardstock and some snow flakes from some white glitter paper I had in my stash. I stacked the three frames together and added them to the embossed vellum. I added some snowflakes above the frame. I then added some glue behind the snowflakes and frame and added the vellum to the front of the card.
I die cut the main body of the snowman out of Snowdrift cardstock and then added gold to the back of the body and trimmed it to fit. I hot foiled Opal foil to some blue cardstock and then die cut the hat and some snowflakes out of the lovely shiny blue card. The accents were die cut from gold cardstock and the nose from orange cardstock. I assembled the snowman and added it inside the frame.
I die cut the sentiment from Snowdrift and gold cardstocks, assembled them and added them to the base of the frame.
I added the blue snowflakes to the frame and more white glitter snowflakes to the centre of the frame around the snowman as shown.
To finish I added gold pearls to the frame, snowflakes and the snowman.
I live in New Zealand where we have a warm Christmas with picnics at the beach or barbecues at home on Christmas days. I have done many many snow and ‘traditional’ Christmas cards over the years and while I have enjoyed making those cards it is nice to do a card that is more in keeping with our seasons here and to send to friends and family overseas. For my card today I have used just two Amazing Paper Grace dies – the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Die and the Silent Night Make a Scene Die to create a stunning down under themed card using traditional Christmas colours.
There is a company here in New Zealand that does NZ Christmas themed (and other NZ themed stamps) and I finally made the plunge to get some of these stamps. I will have some more NZ themed Christmas cards coming in the next few weeks but I am starting with this card featuring poinsettias and a Santa preparing lunch on the barbecue.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
To make my card I have created a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of gold cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and added it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of green cardstock 4 1/8″ x 4 3/8″ and adhered it over the gold card. I then die cut the frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadowbox die out of gold cardstock and adhered it to the front of the green paper. I cut a piece light green paper 2 3/4″ x 4″ and adhered it to the centre of the frame.
I stamped the Santa and poinsettia images in Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol friendly paper and coloured them in with Copic markers. I fussy cut the poinsettias out and added one to the bottom left and one to the top right of he card. I trimmed the Santa image to fit inside the inner decorative frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame die and then adhered this to the front of the frame with foam tape.
To finish I die cut two sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene dies, stacked them together and adhered it to the base of the Santa as shown.

Sometimes you need to make a very special card for a very special person and today I am sharing a spinner card made using two dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Flourishes collection by Becca Feeken – the Merry Flourish Dies and the Flourished Ornament slimline Dies combined with some old favourites. This card is a little fiddly and I had to take extra time to line up the layers but it is so worth it! And the Merry Flourish Dies lined up beautifully behind the circle aperture which was a happy accident but I was so thrilled at how this card turned out.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
I have created a base card of 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. I die cut the circle out of the front of the card using the Amazing Paper Grace Round Fluted Classics Dies. I then worked out the layers I wanted on the card front and used the circle to make a template for die cutting the circles from the layers. I die cut a gold decorative layer from the Amazing Paper Grace Round Fluted Classics Dies and layered them with white squares. I adhered two layers together at a time before die cutting the circles out so the sandwich was not too thick in my die cutting machine. The front white square was embossed using the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder after I had cut the circle out. Before adding the layers to the front of the card I die cut two ornaments out using gold and white cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace Flourished Ornament slimline Dies and assembled them with the gold decorative accent on top of the white base. I added some heavy cotton (I used upholstery cotton) down the back of one ornament and fastened it securely with some double sided tape and glue and then adhered the other ornament to the back. I adhered the strings to the top of the circle and the bottom of the circle with double sided tape and then adhered the previously die cut layers to the front securing the strings to the card. To finish the front I die cut a circle frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Round Fluted Classics Dies and added it to the aperture. I also die cut another circle frame to place on the inside of the circle to create a neat edge.
To strengthen the card base I have added a gold layer and white later to the inside of the card. I then die cut the flourish die from the Amazing Paper Grace Flourished Ornament slimline Dies in gold cardstock and adhered it to the inside back lining up with the circular opening on the front of the card.
I die cut two sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Flourished Ornament slimline Dies – one in gold and one in white. I layered the white sentiment over the gold sentiment offsetting it slightly and added it to the bottom of circle on the front of the card.
I have handcrafted the green and pink poinsettias out of flower shaping paper using the poinsettia dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Poinsettias and adhered them to the top right of the card over green leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh.
To finish my card I have added gold pearls to the centres of the flowers.
I have another Christmas card to share with you featuring the fabulous Holiday Star collection from Heartfelt Creations. Coming from New Zealand I am loving the non-traditional colours and images because our Christmas is in the middle of summer and there is no snow in sight!
