Gorgeous Luxe Foil Leaf

This is an absolutely gorgeous, clean & simple card! It features last months' Product of the Month, Luxe Foliage (which is still available) along with a gold foiled leaf from the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Bundle. It also uses the new Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies as well as the Sweet Words and Labels dies in Vellum. I hope to make these in all 3 DSP colors!

Measurements:

Pecan Pie: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 2 1/8" x 3 1/4" (leaf),
Luxe Foil (POTM): 4" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 4" (inside)
Gold Foil cardstock: 3 5/8" x 4 1/2"
Vellum: 2 3/8" x 3 3/8"
Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 1/2" x 3 5/8" (sentiment)
Gold Foiling

To Make This Card:

I started by Hot Foiling one leaf in Gold Foil onto a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock. After foiling, die cut it with the corresponding die. Set aside.
Next, adhere DSP piece to folded Pecan Pie card base.
Then, die cut the 2nd largest scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies from the Gold Foil cardstock piece.
To save on both DSP and Gold Foil, I used my trimmer to cut out the center of the rectangle, following the scored dots. Keep the center for future projects, and now the DSP, just shows through the opening, rather than cut another piece!
Now, cut one of the Sweet Words & Labels dies from the Vellum. I used the one where the leaf just fits!
Next, I placed Dimensionals onto the wrong side of the foiled leaf. Place it in place on the vellum label. Then, add adhesive to the vellum, behind the leaf (not easy but it works) to hide the adhesive, and then place in gold foil frame opening.
Stamp sentiment in Pecan Pie ink onto narrow strip of Very Vanilla cardstock. I had cut the "banner". Add to card with Dimensionals, over the end of the "leaf".
To finish the front, add a Gold Cord bow, and scattered Metallic Gems.
Finish the inside with Very Vanilla layer, and strip of DSP.

Welcome Noel Mounted Double Gate Fold

This gorgeous card was designed by Mary Deatherage. It's just beautiful, as is this entire Neutral Noel Suite! For this idea, she used the Neutral Noel DSP and Metal Effects Specialty Paper, along with those darling Welcome Noel "houses" and greenery from the Noel Tidings bundle. Lots of pieces, but definitely worth the effort!

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", scrap
Basic Beige 2-Tone Cardstock: 4 1/8" x 5 1/2" (base)
Basic Beige: 2" x 3 1/4" (arch)
Basic White: 3 7/8" x 4" (inside layer), 1/4 sheet
Metal Effects Specialty Paper (N): 2 pcs @ 1" x 4 1/8", 15 "berries"
Neutral Noel DSP (N): 4 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 4" (brocade)

To Make This Card:

Emboss the 2 Metal Effects Specialty Paper strips with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder.
Adhere these to the left & right of the Mossy Meadow "postcard" base, leaving a small edge showing.
Score the Basic Beige 2-Tone base @ 2" and 4" from each end. Fold the 2 outside score lines as "mountain" folds, and the 2 inner score lines as "valley" fold.
Adhere the 4 DSP pieces to these 4 gate panels.
On the White inside layer, stamp sentiment in Pecan Pie ink, and the pine bough in stamped off Mossy Meadow ink. Adhere to inside of card "base".
Now, for all the die cutting!
First, cut the 3rd from the smallest arch from the Everyday Arches in Basic Beige. Run through the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Also, die cut one "wreath" from Mossy Meadow cardstock. Add to larger house!
Next, stamp the following: in Pecan Pie ink - Large House, 3 "berry sprigs", Sentiment. In Crumb Cake ink - Small House. In Mossy Meadow ink: 3 "pine boughs"; Large Pine Tree. Die cut all of these from corresponding dies.
Also, die cut approx 15 "berries" from the Metal Effects Specialty Paper scraps.
First, adhere the "berries" to the "sprigs". Set aside to dry.
Now, to arrange all the pieces! This all gets placed on the Basic Beige Arch.
Begin with the Large Pine Tree. Adhere near the upper left corner with Liquid Glue.
Next, add one "berry sprig" and one "pine sprig" over the tree. (See close up).
Now, add one "berry sprig" and one "Pine sprig" to the right of the "tree". (I rearranged the "berries" as needed. Why hide them!
Next, add the large house with Dimensionals, and the smaller house over and to the left, also with Dimensionals. Then, tuck the remaining "sprigs" under smaller house, trimming as necessary.
Finish with sentiment.
Now, take the arch and adhere the LEFT side only to the front, left "gate".
Finish front with small Gold Dot to the wreath, and 3 Gold Dots to the inside.

Arched Welcome Noel

I was looking for a project using Welcome Noel Bundle, that didn't have so many pieces to "arrange"! I came across this awesome card created by Yvonne from Prairie Designs. I had to do a little adjusting as I think she is from Australia (love their accent and g'day), and their dimensions a bit different! Regardless, I think my version came out really nice! It utilized the Everyday Arches as and opening and a "frame" along with a center of vellum. The die cut houses have gold foil in the "windows". All white, except for the touches of gold, ahd the green trees. (I used Mossy Meadow for this one, I think I might try Peaceful Pine for the next!) We'll be doing this one in my class this week.

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 3 5/8" x 5" (arch frame & houses), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside) scraps
Vellum: 3 5/8" x 5"
Gold Foil Cardstock: scraps
Gold Hot Foil

To Make This Card:

Fold Thick White card base in half. Die cut 5th from largest arch from front of card, as shown. Keep the center.
Take the basic White piece for the arches (the smaller piece) and using the 3rd and 5th largest arches, die cut an arched "frame".
Also die cut an arch using the 3rd largest arch, from vellum.
Glue the vellum to the wrong side of the arched "frame".
Next, stamp 2 "trees" in Peaceful Pine ink onto arch centers. Die cut with corresponding dies.
Now, die cut the 3 "houses" from the remaining centers and scraps. You'll need to use both parts of the die to the the outside cut, and the details included.
Take scraps of gold foil and place behind the windows, holding in place with Mini Dimensionals.
Next, add the "arch" to the opening in the card front with MIni Dimensionals.
Add the taller house to the lower right corner, then add the larger tree, also with Mini Dimensionals.
Continue with the smaller tree, longer house, and small house. Overlapping to create interest.
The sentiment is Gold Foiled from the Hot Foiled Magical Christmas Die. Take your pick, there are many to choose from!
Finish the front with Gold Dots.
For the inside, stamp a 3-generation Pine Tree in Peaceful Pine ink, then add to inside.
