Going to the Christmas Tree Farm and Build a Wreath from Noel Tidings Die

Christmas-Trees-Painted-Pumpkins-Neutral-Noel-DSP-Noel-Tidings-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today it's Christmas card time and I'm sharing a card made with dies from Painted Pumpkins and Neutral Noel, and Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper. On my video I show you how to make a wreath by cutting up the oval spruce from Noel Tidings. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the card folded up ready to go into an envelope. Notice the background was embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder.

To build the wreath, the oval spruce die from Noel Tidings was used to cut a piece of Garden Green cardstock. I then cut the oval into small spruce pieces and adhered them to a Garden Green circle to form the wreath. Of course, I had to add a little bling to the wreath!

Open the gate to go to the Christmas tree farm and you are met with a greeting.

The inside piece was cut with the largest die from Perennial Postage and stamped in Garden Green.

One last look.

Elegant Leaves Bundle with the Ink Blending Technique

Elegant-Leaves-Ink-Blending-Technique-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a card made with the Elegant Leaves Bundle and a fun ink blending technique. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the card folded up ready to go into an envelope. Look how beautiful these leaves are! Every time you make this card, your leaves will look different.

Check out that beautiful, embossed background! I used the one with leaves from the Seasonal Cheers set of 3 embossing folder. I then swiped copper ink across the raised the surface.

The Metallics Effects strip of paper on the bottom of the card was cut with a die from Elegant Leaves to achieve that woodgrain look.

For the leaves, I started with a Basic White piece of paper. I then used a blending brush and added the following colors: Cherry Cobbler, Timid Tiger, Crushed Curry, Peaceful Pine, and Cajun Craze. This piece was then stamped in VersaMark with the stamp from Elegant Leaves and heat embossed with copper embossing powder.

The leaves were then cut out with the coordinating dies.

Here are the gorgeous leaves that were cut from the above piece. Every time you blend the colors for the leaves, you end up with an entirely different looking set of leaves.

I stamped the inside with Cajun Craze ink.

One last look at the card.
