Merriest Moments Pointsettia

 Mom & I worked on class samples over the weekend, and had so much fun creating! I wanted to show you how to use this Hybrid Embossing folder/dies. I love these softer, non-traditional colors that could be used all winter (if you change out the sentiment).  Stay tuned.  I will be doing a video on how to use this unique bundle!

Measurements:    

• Mint Macaron: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
• Just Jade: 1/4 sheet
• Basic White: 2 1/4" x 3 1/4", scraps

To Make This Card:

• Fold Mint Macaron half. Run front through new Merriest Frames 3D embossing folder centering image.  Note: this WILL extend to the back a bit.
• Emboss the Just Jade piece.  This JUST fits, so carefully line it up on the quarter sheet of cardstock.  
• Now, run this piece through the Cut & Emboss, again, this time using the detail die. (there is just minimal flattening.)
• Attach this piece to the front of card with Dimentionals. 
• Stamp sentiment in Mint Macaron onto White piece. Cut out with included, stitched rectangle.  Attach to center of card.
• Stamp the 2 "poinsettias" in Blushing Bride, and one each of the "holly" in Mint Macaron.  Cut these out with corresponding dies.  Also, cut one flower "center" from White.
• Shape the "poinsettia" petals with Bone Folder and layer on top of each other with Mini Dimensional, Add White "center".
• Add this to card front. Tuck and adhere "leaves".
• Finish with Genial Gems.

Peaceful Cabin Book Binder Card

 I saw a similar version of this card using the beautiful Peaceful Cabin bundle.  My color inspiration came from the Tidings of Christmas DSP in the Annual Catalog. Card making is so much easier when you use our beautiful DSP and select coordinating cardstocks and accessories! Love this card! 

Measurements:  

• Soft Succulent (N): 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
• Basic White: 2 pcs @ 3 3/4" square, 4" square (inside)
• Evening Evergreen (N): 4" square
• Tidings of Christmas DSP: 1" x 4"

To Make This Card:

• Fold Soft Succulent card base in half.  Score at 1 1/4" from fold, front side only.  Crease the front back well. Place adhesive under this 1 1/4" and glue front and back together.
• Attach DSP strip to this.
• Attach Evening Evergreen Square to other side.
• Stamp "cabin" in Gray Granite ont one 3 3/4" square.  Cut out with corresponding die.
• Decide where you would like to place the trees on the other square, and mark with a pencil.
• Stamp "trees" in Evening Evergreen in designated area.
• Lightly sponge Misty Moonlight, with Blending Brush, for "sky".  Add stamped off Misty Moonlight "snowflakes".
• Attach "cabin" over trees. Trim bottom, if necessary.
• Now you can add the "fence" in Gray Granite.
• I added Wink of Stella to "roof", "snow drifts", "trees", etc.
• Add to front of card.
• Take piece of White Glitter Ribbon (N), fold in half, and make an overhand knot.  Add to "binding" with Mini Glue Dot.
• Add White piece to inside. Stamp sentiment in Evening Evergreen, and little "fox" in Gray Granite.

Traditional Christmas Pinecones

 I love the detail and depth of these dies!  I made this one more of a "traditional" look, but it has so many possibilities.  The full card, or just bits and pieces.  It includes the 2 large pines dies, and large and small 2 piece pinecones.

Measurements:    

• Early Espresso: 1/2 sheet, 1 1/2" strip
• Crumb Cake: 1 1/2" strip
• Just Jade: 1/4 sheet, scrap
• Mint Macaron: 1/2 sheet, scrap
• Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)

To Make This Card:

• Cut Just Jade from more "solid" pine die.  Cut Mint Macaron from more "delicate" die. These are very large dies!  I found I needed to run them back and forth a few times. I tried flipping 
• 
  
• Fold Pool Party card in half. Run front through new Merry Melody 3D embossing folder.
• Cut ornate frame from White piece. I used the Thick Basic White so my die cut better!
• Emboss "angel" in Silver Embossing Powder. (she just fits!)
• "Watercolor" dress with Pool Party Ink and water painter.  Her "hair" is Lt So Saffron Blend, and
  
  
  
  the "bird" is Dk Pool Party blend.
• Attach to card front with Dimensionals.
• Finish with bow in Pool Party sheer ribbon and scattered Rhinestones.

Simply Elegant Angel of Peace

I finally got these gorgeous set, Angels of Peace, from the Holiday Mini!  I could envision her watercolored or washed!  Here is a simply elegant card I somewhat CASED from another demonstrator.  I love her embossed, and lightly watercolored with ink and water painter!

Measurements:    

• Pool Party: 1/2 sheet
• Thick Basic White: 1/4 sheet

To Make This Card:

• Fold Pool Party card in half. Run front through new Merry Melody 3D embossing folder.
• Cut ornate frame from White piece. I used the Thick Basic White so my die cut better!
