Snowflake Christmas Decoration

A very quick and EZ Christmas decoration!

It would be fun to make these with the little ones!

To make this I cut 4 of the Snow Kissed Flakes and Tag Die

out of white card. Glue two together and then the other two together

so that you now have two snowflakes. Adhere Crystal Clear Powder

over the front of the snowflakes.

Adhere white ribbon to the back of one of the snowflakes and

then adhere the other snowflake over it so you now have your decoration.

To make the flowers see the tutorial HERE.

Adhere the flowers and sentiment to the front of the decoration.

On the back you could add a photo, the date or anything else!

Have lots of crafty fun! 

Snowflake Shaker Card

As promised during my Facebook Live here is the tutorial

on hoe to make this fun snowflake shaker card!

If you missed the live you can watch it HERE.

I had such fun making different things with the Snow Kissed Flakes and Tag die set!

I will share some of the projects with you over the next few days!

So let's get started with this shaker card!

Step 1: Fold a piece of card so you have a 5" x 5" tent fold card and

using the outer snowflake die cut to make a card.

Make sure you cut inside the top of the flake for a folded edge.

Step 2: Fold the front of the card in half to make the base of an easel card.

Die cut a single piece using the outer die also.

Step 3: Adhere the die cut to the folded piece of the easel card.

Die cut another from the Winter's Eve paper pad and adhere to the bottom

of the card. Also die cut a snowflake in white card using the inner die and adhere

to the base also.

Step 4: To make the front of the shaker card die cut the following:

1 x Snowflake in paper from the paper pad.

1 x Outer die using clear card.

1 x Frame using both dies together.

Step 5: Adhere the frame onto the acetate using dries clear glue

and a fine metal tip. Make sure not to get glue over the acetate.

Step 6: Snip the snowflake apart and adhere into the frame on your acetate.

Step 7: Adhere 3D foam pads around the edge of the front of the shaker. Make

it a double layer to give extra depth for your bits to shake well.

Cut the outer die using the papers for the paper pad so you have a scene

at the back of your shaker.

Step 8: Adhere the back to the acetate leaving a small section open

and add your bits to shake! I used prills and sequins in mine.

Adhere this to the easel card.

Step 9: Adhere flowers and a sentiment and you card is ready!

Have fun making some of these!

To make the flowers see this tutorial HERE

To make this project I used the following:

Thank you

I have a quick thank you card to share today.

I had a few flowers left over so I just had to use them!

I have layered a card front onto a 6"x6" piece of paper (I cut down slightly) from

the Classic Rose paper pad and used the die cuts to decorate!

To make these vellum flowers see how I made them HERE

Wow it's been a busy day......... I've been Christmas toy shopping for all the children

in the family....... now to get them wrapped and to Santa so he can deliver them!

Have an awesome day! 

Spread your Wings and Fly

I've been having fun making Thanksgiving cards with the Classic Sunflowers!

Thought I'd share this in a very quick post!

The inside is perfect for adding little messages or even a cash gift!

I used the Foldout card blanks to make this.

I just love this time of year and making sunflowers!

Have lots of fabulous crafty fun! 

Vellum flowers with the Classic Sunflower

I was inspired by an old post from Emma Lou to make these flowers!

Although I used the Classic Sunflower stamp and die set 

I made a totally different flower from them!

They even look different made in vellum and paper!

I love how the glitter and glass shards look! They sure do sparkle!
It's a great way to add sparkle to your cards!

And inside I made a pocket, perfect to add a cash gift or a gift card.
Or you can add tags and journaling pieces it's up to you!

Directions for making the flowers

Step 1: Stamp the Classic Sunflower in white ink onto vellum and heat 

emboss with white embossing powder.

Step 2: Die cut the flowers using the Classic Sunflower die and then using the Precision Daubers colour the backs of the flowers with ink. I used Brilliance Crimson Copper on mine.

Step 3: Using the quilling tool from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit

shape the petals. To do this slide the petal into the gap on the tool and place half way

along the length of the petal and curve over your finger folding the two 

outer edges of the petal together.

Step 4: Using a ball shaping tool, gently press around the outer edge of the inner 

of the flower to bring the petals up. Using your fingers shape the petals so they curve inwards.

Step 5: Layer three different sizes on top of each other and adhere in place.

Adhere prills to the centres, I used Lemon Chiffon from the Spring Bling set on mine!

Leave your flowers aside while you make the card.

To make the card:

Step 1. Using a 6" x 6" White fold out card blank cut the two smaller folds away from

the card so you only have the one left. The smallest we will use inside for a pocket.

Step 2: Using the Fleur Border basics die cut a border for the front of the card.

Place a 6" x 6" piece of card behind the front of the card and place the die on so it sits exactly over the front on the back piece and tape in place. Die cut and your border will perfectly

match the front of the card. Adhere to the card.

Step 3: Using a 6" x 6" piece of card second stamp the Classic Sunflower stamp

in Brilliance Crimson Coral Ink and die cut to fit the front of the card.

Step 4: Using glue and a sponge dab glue over areas of the stamped card and adhere glitter to it.

Do the same things and this time adhere glass shards to it for a fun sparkly effect.

Step 5: Adhere when dry to the card and adhere the flowers and a sentiment along with

some vellum butterflies heat embossed in white.

Step 6: Make a pocket inside the card in the same way using the piece we cut away earlier.

It's perfect for messages or adding money inside the card!

To see how this is made watch this video of me doing a live Facebook tutorial HERE

Here is another card made with the same flowers but made out of paper so you can see the 

difference. I made them the same as the vellum ones but added Crystal Clear powder to them#for a sparkly effect! I do love my sparkle! 

Have lots of crafty fun!
