  • Next, stamp the large tree, and 2 smaller trees in Mossy Meadow ink. The large house in Crumb Cake, the smaller house & deer in Pecan Pie, and the long house in Secret Sea.
  • Then, die cut all with corresponding dies. Including the wreath from Mossy Meadow.

Welcome Noel Wreath

 These 2 bundles are part of one suite - the Neutral Noel Suite. I just love miniatures, and houses and shops and buildings, so this one was a must for me, and I'm loving it!  This one IS truly neutral and utilizes the wreath from the Noel Tidings Bundle, and the cute little houses from the Welcome Noel Bundle.  The greenery and sentiment are from the Noel Tidings stamp set. Stamp it all, cut it all, arrange it all, and you're done.


Measurements:  

  • Basic Beige: 1/2 sheet (card), 1/4 sheet (wreath)
  • Metal Effects (N): scraps
  • Basic White: 1/4 sheet (houses), scraps (greenery)
  • Crumb Cake: scrap
  • Mossy Meadow: scrap
To Make this Card:

  • Die cut the "wreath" from Basic Beige cardstock, and adhere to the folded Basic Beige card base with Multipurpose Glue.
  • Next, stamp the largest "house" in Crumb Cake, and 2 smaller "houses" in Pecan Pie and Secret Sea.  Die cut with corresponding dies.
  • Next, stamp 2 different "sprigs" in Mossy Meadow ink, 2 "pinecones" in Pecan Pie ink, and the sentiment in Mossy Meadow. Die cut with corresponding dies. Add Wink of Stella to these pieces, if desired.
  • Lastly, stamp 2 "branches" in Pecan Pie ink onto scrap of Crumb Cake. Die cut these as well.
  • For accents, die cut a "wreath" from Mossy Meadow, and "berries" from Metal Effects.
  • Start arranging with the largest house, a little to the right, in the "wreath". Then add the 2 smaller houses on either side, at different levels.
  • Next, add the 2 "sprigs" and pinecones, as shown, with Dimensionals. Tuck the 2 "branches" underneath, on either side, And, the sentiment over it all.
  • Finish the card with Metal "berries" and the little "wreath".  
  • I added a Gold Dot to the little "wreath".

Elegant Welcome Noel Card

 This goregous, elegant card was designed by Bree Kathleen.  I just love it!  The Welcome Noel Bundle is probably my most favorite bundle for this year! There is SO MUCH that you can do with it!!  From a country vibe, to an elegant one, so many possibilities.  This one uses a foiled Swiss Dot background and sentiment, along with the gorgeous Truly Timeless DSP and a little gold behind the windows of the "houses". Such a simple, classy card.

To Make This Card:

  • To conserve on Gold Cardstock, cut a "frame" from the 1/4 sheet of Gold Cardstock.
  • Then, adhere to folded Very Vanilla Cardstock.

Glitzy Pretty Poinsettia

 Who says poinsettia's need to be Red...or Pink for that matter! I found this glitzy bronze sample that uses our new Metal Effects Specialty Paper from the current catalog, paired with the Neutral Noel DSP and  the retired Fine Shine Specialty Paper. It also uses the amazing Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies, which I just LOVE!!



Measurements:  

  • Metal Effects (N): 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" (base), 1/4 sheet (poinsettia)
  • Neutral Noel (N): 3 3/8" x 4 1/2" (swirly pattern)
  • Fine Shimmer Paper (ret): 3" x 3 1/2", scrap
  • Very Vanilla:3 3/8" x 9"
To Make This Card:

  • Die cut the largest Scalloped Christmas Cheer die from the Metal Effects DSP.
  • Next, fold the Very Vanilla piece in half.  This is actually the card!  To that, add the decorative DSP. Then, adhere to the center of the scalloped base. You will be able to see the stitched center outline.
  • Now, die cut the 4 petals of the Poinsettia from the Metal Effects quarter sheet. These petals can be made with more depth by using the Impressions Plate before removing them from the dies.  
  • Also die cut one large leaf and the 2 "centers". The leaf can also be run through with the Impressions Plate! (really a pad)
  • Shape the 4 poinsettia pieces, if desired.
  • Assemble the poinsettia, starting with the large, 4-petal piece. I used Mini Glue Dots, but Multipurpose Glue works, too. Then add the 1 or 2 "centers.
  • Next, adhere the large "leaf" to the card front, and then add the poinsettia over it with a Dimensional.
  • Finish with Metallic Gems.
