Traditional Christmas Card

Hello ...

Today I am back to sharing a Christmas project with you.  This card has been made using some of the Craft Asylum dies and embellishments.  It has a different look to many of my projects but these dies are so versatile they suit too many styles to just stick to one!

Materials:

Sizzix Thinlits Die - Proud Deer By Craft Asylum

Sizzix thinlits Dies - Decorative Trees By Craft Asylum

Sizzix Thinlits Dies - Delicate Fall By Craft Asylum

Sizzix Thinlits Dies - Winter Wishes By Craft Asylum

Craft Asylum Snow Kisses Clear Stamp Set 

Craft Asylum Winter wonderland Embellishment Set 

Circle Framelits 

Kraft Card

White Card

Distress Ink 

Gesso

Glitter glue

Tulle

Instructions:

1. Die-cut 3 circles from kraft, pattered paper and white cardstock.  Ink the white panel with blue distress ink and distress the edges of all of them.

2.  stamp the tree in brown and green.  Die cut the Proud Deer and add some glitter.

3.  To the base of the circle add some tulle and cover lightly in Gesso and glitter glue.  Leave to dry.

4.  Die cut the snowflakes and leaves.  Wrap ribbon around the square card blank and when dry adhere the circle.

5.  Adhere the snowflakes and leaves and add a brad to the centre.  Add the word 'Joy'

I think this card as a lovely traditional feel to it and of course the beauty of these dies are they can be adapted to suit so many styles.

Have you started on your Christmas crafting yet?

A Little Bit Of Winter ...

Hello ...

Today I am here to share a winter themed card with you.  Many crafters have already started their Christmas crafting.  I am gently easing into Christmas so I thought I would start with winter and work my way slowly towards Christmas!  

I have chosen the Hello Sunshine Collection to compliment these new dies and it is a great example of how versatile these papers can be!  I love to use alternative colours to those traditional winter themed colours.

 The main focal point of the card is the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Loving Bear which features this cute bear in a frame.

The snowflake has been cut using the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Delicate Fall.  These are a great addition to your winter crafting and will be one of those die sets that are used over and over.  Here I have added a button from the Hello Sunshine Embellishment Set.

Finally the wording was from the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Winter Wishes.  These are perfect for many occasions and again for not only Christmas cards but winter themed cards too.

As you can see I have placed the bear into an oval frame to make it the centre focal point.  Adding some ink around the edges of the bear really helps him stand out.

I am now off to enjoy the sunshine before getting into Christmas!

Have a great day.
