Christmas Card – by Jeanine de Bruyn
C90 Christmas Snow Collection
Requirements – 1 sheet Santas Wreath
C90 008
1 sheet Snow
Family C90 001
Red Cardstock
A straw
White and Silver
Ribbons
Directions – Cut your red Cardstock
to measure 29 x 14cm and scallop all of the edges. From the Santa’s Wreath
paper (I used the back of the paper) cut a piece 12x18cm and from the Snow
Family paper cut one of the Happy Holidays strips. Fold the red cardstock in
half this will be the base of your card. Glue the 12x18cm piece to the card
overlapping onto the back of the card.
Glue the Happy Holidays strip to the
top of the card. From the Snow Family paper cut out two of the father Christmas
wreaths and from the same paper cut out some squares to make presents for under
the tree.
Cut your straw to about 9cm, tie the
white and silver ribbons to the straw alternating the colours and sizes of the
ribbons. Cut the ribbons to resemble a tree shape. I add small silver ‘bling’
to decorate the tree.
Glue the tree to the middle of the
card slightly more to the top of the card as you will need to leave place for
the presents at the bottom of the card.
Add one of the Santa wreaths you cut
out to the top of the tree and the other to the back of the card in the middle
of the overlapping paper.
Glue one of the presents to the
bottom of the tree (to cover the bottom of the straw) using a little bit of
foam tape to lift it. Glue the rest of the presents to the bottom of the card,
add some ribbon and strips of paper to decorate the presents. To finish off the
card I went around the scallops of the card with a white pen.
Happy Holiday crafting everyone!

as embellishments.
STEP 2:
The white wood side of the
card will be your base (you can glue it on a card to make it sturdier). To make
sure the wet mediums don’t soak through the page, prime it with a layer of
clear matte gesso (that will make it waterproof but will not fade out the
original paper design).
STEP 3:
Using the acrylic inks,
paint the Chipboard die-cut SEASON OF JOY DC90 004 – use red for the phrase,
Santa’s hat and the bow; paint the rest white.
STEP 3:
Mix texture paste with green
mica powder, run it through the Stencil DS 059 C90 range. Once almost dry, dust
the mica powder it and leave to dry completely. Sprinkle red and white acrylic inks
all over the card.
STEP 4:
Attach the mistletoe
branches across the page using glue; mount the chipboard on top.
Your card is ready!

C87 Journey in Time Collection Tag by Bev Code
FOR THIS TAG YOU WILL NEED:
Supply List:
Other: metal accent, twine, ink, Memory
Box die, ribbons
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEPS #1: Pull the papers, accents and the
chipboard. Cut the tag base shape.
STEP #2: Start by colouring your
chipboard. I use copic markers on mine. Cut layers and pieces to fit the tag
size. I put a background under the chipboard for more colour.
STEP #3: I added some stenciling to the background piece...
but then decided to add yet another darker mat to background.. so double shaped
background. Using a few of the shaped accents.. the luggage tag and the
airplane along with the metal accent.... lay things onto the base and decide on
placement.
STEP #4: Notice the corner die cut circles on the purple
checked paper... adds more texture and depth. Matted it with darker plain paper
so the colours would pop.
STEP #5: Assemble the pieces in
layers.
STEP #6: Just remember you can add a
little or a lot... your choice .. just remember have fun when creating. Lastly
tie off the top with ribbons.
Here are the 2 close up views to show the
details.

C86 Mother Earth Collection Card
by Bev Code
FOR THIS CARD YOU WILL NEED:
Paper: C86 Mother Nature Collection, 007
Berrylicious, 002 Botanical Bulb
Chipboard: CD86 015
Markers: copic
Chipboard: CD86 015
Markers: copic
Sketch: Feeling Sketchy
Other: cardstock, mini 8 punch, twine, flower, alpha label
Other: cardstock, mini 8 punch, twine, flower, alpha label
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP #1: When creating
cards with or without a sketch I like to grab the paper collection and pull at
least 3-5 papers that coordinate leaving my options open as I go along. If
there are matching accents I pull them too or have paper options that allow
punching or making accents too.
STEP #2: For this card I
started again with a single sheet background to make mounting to the full card
base later easier. On this one I started with the full striped sheet
matted with cardstock. I used the mini 8 punch to create the circular punched
background and it was matted so the punched edge would pop with colour.
STEP #3: Next I cut both
the tags and sentiment pennant sized to fit the central section of the punch
circle.
STEP #4: Twine was added
to the tags and sentiment added to the pennant and matted.
STEP #5: Now using the
chipboard accents I coloured them using copic markers. They were clustered
together and a flower added to finish the extra accents.
This was very simple and
easy but it's the rich elegant papers and colours that make the whole card pop.
