Merry christmas swirly vine card

dinsdag 13 december 2016

The swirly vine die is not a real Christmas die, but with colors and embellishments you can simply turn it into a Christmas card and it is also really great for the rest of the year.

Cut the swirly vine out of the "Let it snow" paperpad. Glue the squares onto another color of the pad. The smallest and biggest Square another time on kraft paper for a some difference in height.

Tip: if you cut it 2 times out of different colours you can mix the blocks and you have enough for 2 cards at once.

Cut 2 sizes of paper, sand and ink the edges and glue them to the card base.

Glue the squares to the card.

Cut the snowflakes and apply Mboss. Glue them to the card and finish with a text stamp.

Happy Crafting!

Merry christmas bird kaart

woensdag 30 november 2016

The open bird die by Penny Black is beautiful for on a Christmas card, but also very wel to use for wedding and spring cards.

With the paper from Eline's silver star papierblok I glued layers on the card, I distressed all edges of the paper for a playful effect.

Cut a circle out of Papicolor metallic babyblue paper and emboss it with the ice crystals embossing folder.

I cut the bird out of black paper gestanst and applied Brilliance ink on it for extra shine. With the same ink I stamped the text. I glued the bird on the circle and then the circle and the text on the card.

Happy Crafting!
