Poinsettia Wreath Gift Card Trifold with Crafty Meraki

 

Hello Everyone!  Are you down to the last minute preparations for Christmas?  We’re pretty close to being ready.  And I’ve got a great last minute design to fancy up those Gift Cards that we often give at Christmas.  This one uses Crafty Meraki’s Festive Floral Stamp, and I’ve coloured it with Copics.  I stamped a few extra of the poinsettias to add to the design to make it really 3D.  

The background is foiled with the lovely Crafty Meraki Jolly Holly Hot Foil plate in a perfecty peachy foil.  It coordinates so beautifully with the paper and wreath.  As you can see I’ve added some gold accents in the metallic dots, and I’ve lined the circle section of the wreath flap with gold pen.  

The fun part of this design is it opens to be a tri-fold card, so I attached velcro to the flap and base.

And when you open it up, there’s a perfect spot for your gift card to slide into!

It makes for such a pretty gift card presentation.  This view shows how 3D the design is.  

This will be my last design until Christmas is over....I truly hope you experience the moments ahead with great joy, hope, peace and the love of Jesus.

Peace on Earth Angel with RAM Stamps

Hello!  Popping in tonight with a precious little Christmas Angel from Rachelle Ann Miller called Peace Angel .  She’s just delightfuly isn’t she?  I’ve coloured her up with Copic markers and then added in lots of sparkle to the design with a shimmery glitter pen.  Contrasting colours of purple and yellow work really well together for this design.  

The background is foiled with stars to coordinate and add lots of gold, and I also die cut some stars to accent using glitter paper.  This picture grabs a little of the shimmer from the pen in her dress.  

I think peace on earth is a beautiful thing to herald at Christmas and through all seasons.  I pray it begins in me, and extends to my world. 

If you haven’t finished your Christmas card and tag making, I’m including my RAM Stamps affiliate link provided at no cost to you....but every little bit helps me out!    https://rachelleannemiller.com/?ref=hyicmakm 

Blessings Dear Ones!

Poinsettia Frame with Pinkfresh Studios

 Hello!  I’ve got a few more Christmas themed creations to show over the next week, and today I’m strating with this beautiful poinsettia frame from Pinkfresh Studios called Poinsettia Frame cling stamp.  The gorgeous blend of flowers and greenery were really wonderful to colour up with Copics.  

And apparently, I forgot that I have the coordinating die to the image, and decided to fussy cut the frame out!  I accented the design with a wonderful sparkly die cut bow, and added some texture to the background of the card with a quilted texture.  

With all the colourful detail of the image, I just added a few enamel dots to accent, and a pretty die cut sentiment stacked up 3 x so it has some thickness and dimension, and appears like it’s floating on the card.    Here’s hoping you’re full of joy too!  Thanks for stopping by!

Silvery Fa La La with Crafty Meraki

Happy Sunday!  Today I am bringing you another Crafty Meraki design as part of their countdown to Christmas!  I can’t believe there are only 10 days to Christmas Day!  We’ve finally made some dents in our Christmas lists and some Christmas baking so I’m feeling a lot better about that.  I want to celebrate Advent not stress!  

So, this pretty bejewelled design uses a few Crafty Meraki products.  I started with the Crafty Meraki Christmas Flower Layering Die, cut in silver cardstock, with teal greenery using the Olive Leaf Meraki Para-Dies.   

Next I created the background with the gorgeous  Holly Jolly Hot Foil Plate in shimmery silver foil.  I added depth to the layer with ink blending around the edges.  Along the top edge of the layer I added a strip of shimmery Jade Shadows Dew Drops from Crafty Meraki, attached with Scor-Tape.  

Then it was simply layering it all together with a very festive sentiment from Crafty Meraki’s Festive Flora Wreath Stamp set, embossed in silver and die cut with the coordinating die.   All that shimmer and glimmer is so classy!

Scandi Christmas Deer with TCP

Hello Friends!  I’m back today with a pair of delightful deer done in a gorgeous neutral Scandinavian style.  I do love the simplicity and warmth of Scandinavian style, so I went all out with the neutrals and woodgrain textures on this card.  I began with TCP’s Scandi Santa SVG and Digi Stamp combination, for this design, only using the digital stamp of these pretty deer.  

After printing and colouring with Copics and coloured pencil (for the gold scarves), I trimmed them out with my tiny scissors, then arranged them onto a diecut wood cut slice.  To keep the tones in that neutral/white combo, I used kraft white ink on the wood cut to bring out the texture of the grain.  This was placed on a card base with golden snowflakes.  

A gold sparkle paper banner, die cut snowflakes, wood veneer stars and a pretty white embossed sentiment from a retired TCP stamp give interesting textures and shine to the design.  It’s not often I create with neutrals, but I love the elegance and simplicity of this one!  

By now you’ve probably heard the sad news that TCP is closing at the end of the year.  It’s been my absolute delight and privilege to design for Alma for many years.  She is the best.   I will miss The Cat’s Pajamas for all its beautiful and unique style....and I’m also so grateful for all the fun and creativity we’ve had together!  

Thanks for joining me today!

Love and Joy Florals with Concord & 9th

Hello!  Sometimes a card comes out even better than you had hoped, and for me, this is one of them!  I pulled together a colour palette that spoke Christmas to me and played with Concord & 9th’s gorgeous Festive Blooms Bundle.  I don’t think you can really go wrong with this bundle of dies and stamps!  

I die cut all the pieces out and ink blended the poinsettias and magnolias, adding in white craft ink as snow or flocking on some of the greenery. That also serves to distinguish some of the elements from each other in a simple 4 colour palette.  The layers of the flowers are popped up from each other with foam dots for extra dimension and realism.  

A simple touhc of poppy enamel dots and the sentiment from the bundle gives all the wonderful Christmas time feels!
