Day 6 Of 25 Days

Hello crafty friends,

Thank goodness it’s Friday. I hope you are wrapping up your work week and getting ready to do some Christmas crafting.  I am sharing another card I created.

I used some Die Cuts With A View DCWV Christmas and Winter Value Stack.  I also used a pretty cut file from PaperCraftingWorld.com as well as the Cardinal Pine Cones Digital Stamp.  I also used some Robin’s Nest Dew drops around the frame for an added decorative touch.

Here is a closer look at the cardinal digi. I used some Copics as well as a couple of markers from Close To My Heart to color. I then used some dimensional white paint along with some fine glitter to make the branches and pine cones “snowy”. I did also use some Pearlescent chalk for the background around the cardinal.

Here’s a shot to show the pretty understated dew drops I used. These colors are all in one bottle. They have some really nice mixes. I also machine stitched around the outer edge of the mats.

Products Used To Create This Layout

I also used:

Day 5 of 25 Days of Christmas And Year 'Round Crafting

Hello crafty friends, Thank you once again for joining me on this Crafty adventure. Today, I have a super quick and cute Card-Gift Card Holder to share with you. 

Here’s a look at my finished card. I used a cute ornament cut file from the Pazzles Craft Room. Of COURSE, I used some fun, FLASHY and festive Die Cuts With A View DCWV patterned paper from the DCWV Evergreen Paper Stack!

Here is a shot of the inside of the card. It has a nice little fold inside so that it will hold a gift card!!!!

So here’s how to assemble the card.

Here is a view of the inside of the card. To create the card simply take a piece of cardstock 5.5 x 11 and score at 4.25”, 5.5” and 6.75”. You will fold them together to create the “pocket”. Place adhesive on the three sides to create the sandwich.

Trim a slit about one inch in from each edge and it will make a perfect pocket for your gift card. This is actually the crease that the paper is folded on.

You will have a standard size card to decorate and done! Simple, easy and effective.

This shot just shows how pretty that DCWV paper is. It is already foiled. I cut the outline in plain white cardstock and then used my Glitter Gel to sparkle it up! Finished the top with a button, bow and twine....YUMMY! It comes together very fast!

I used the following to complete this project

	Pazzles Inspiration	Pazzles Craft Room File
PCW Cheer-Bright WADS	CTMH Stardust Glitter Gel	CTMH Foam Tape

I also used:

Kraft, White and Red Cardstock

Misc. Button and Green Ribbon

Doodlebug Twine

Day 4 of 25 Days

Hello crafty friends,

Today is a super quick post. I will have to come back later and edit it for more information, but I have to leave shortly to go take my brother and nephew to the airport…..Orlando Int’l Airport….which is CRAZY busy, ESPECIALLY this time of year. So here is my card for today.

Yes….I seem to be having a “thing” with poinsettias…lol! The pretty paper is from the Die Cuts With A View DCWV Christmas and Winter 180 stack. The pretty gems in the center of the Poinsettias are some cute Dew Drops from Robin’s Nest. I will have to give you more details later

I do apologize as I don’t have a freebie for today. I will do my best to “make up” for it tomorrow. In the meantime, you can still grab all the previous freebies as I have not had a chance to “take them down yet”… Just visit each post to grab the links.

Also, don’t forget to leave a comment on today’s post or yesterday’s for a chance to win a $10 download from PaperCraftingWorld.com.

Day 3 of 25 Days of Christmas-year 'Round Crafting

Hello crafty friends, Welcome to day 3 of my 25 days of Christmas and Year ‘Round crafting. Today I am sharing a project I created for my Scrapyland DT. So here is what I have for you....

Here is a look at my completed card. It is simple with clean lines. Believe it or not…there is no patterned paper on this card…YIKES…That may be a first for me…lol! The base is made from Kraft cardstock. I then matted in white and another layer of Kraft. All of the flowers and foliage were cut in plain white cardstock.

The large flower is a Momenta die. The foliage is an Elizabeth Crafts Curvy Leaves Die and the Swirled flowers were the Impression Obsession mini spiral swirled flowers. With this shot you can also see that I took my kraft mat and embossed the background with the Quickutz scallops and dot embossing border folder. Love the subtle effect this gave.

The embossed mat is the swirl Goosebumps Quickutz embossing die. I did the large square mat and then the 1” circle. I used a 1.25” Scallop circle punch for the red scalloped circles and then used the Quickutz Chandelier Fonts for the Letters JOY.

Below you will find a complete list of the supplies with links to Scrapyland.com. I was so excited to see they brought back some of these classic Quickutz (now Lifestyle Crafts) dies. I have always loved my 2x2 dies and thought they were perfect for card making. Scrapyland even has the classic Squeeze tool available if you don’t have one.

Next, I wanted to share a card my fellow PaperCraftingWorld.com design team mate Larelyn of Handmade from the heart created.

She used her copic markers to color in the Cardinal on the Branch Digi from PCW.  You can find a nice selection of Copics at Scrapyland.com. Be sure to head over to the PCW Design Team blog and get some details!
