Believe in the Magic of Christmas Card

 

Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with you my Believe in the Magic of Christmas Card. I combined a variety of dies, stamps and Modern Gilding Powder, which were all perfect for creating this card. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Believe in the Magic of Christmas Card at home.

To start, die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Rounded Rectangle out of a piece of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Merry Christmas Background stamp and stamp in the middle of the rectangle. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powder over the stamped area. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Using a blending tool with foam, blend Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink over the entire surface of the emboss rectangle. Spritz the rectangle with water. Once the rectangle has dried, ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the Flourished Deer out of a piece of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the entire surface of the deer. Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powder over the entire surface of the deer. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Believe in the Magic of Christmas sentiment from the Let Your Heart be Light Stamp set and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock. Cut the sentiment in half, creating to strips. Ink the edges of each strip using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the Flourished Frame out of a piece of black cardstock.

Choose two pieces of coordinating Christmas patterned paper. From one of the patterned papers, die cut a 4" Stitched Rounded Rectangle. From the other patterned paper, die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Rounded Rectangle. Ink the edges of both rectangles using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the flourished frame to the 4" rectangle. Adhere the 3 3/4" rectangle to the middle of the 4" rectangle.

Foam square the 3 1/2" rectangle to the middle of the 3 3/4" rectangle. Foam square the flourished deer to the middle of the 3 1/2" rectangle. 

Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the Believe in the Magic of Christmas word strips in the bottom right portion of the 3 1/2" rectangle.

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of white cardstock that measures 4" x 10 1/2", score at 5 1/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished card.

Hangry is real so "Eat and be happy"

 My husband has learned this is a very real thing with me.  He knows that if I say I am hungry on a road trip, it is best to find a place to eat within 15 minutes, not until the next bathroom break.  Lol!  "Eat & be happy" immediately came to mind as I was looking through my latest purchase from Elizabeth Craft Designs which included the pizza box die set.

I added a purple flower using Florals 1 and the layered dies that came in the set.  I continued the theme with the inside of the box and added the rest of the rather cheeky sentiment.  But wouldn't it be great if you just had this little gift box handy for someone getting hangry?  It's sure to break the tension that may or may not be building.  :)

You know it's my favorite thing to figure out different ways to combine Quietfire Design dies - I really like this one!  Haha!

Eat, Drink & be Merry

Happy birthday2

Bootiful Puppy

 I don’t have any Halloween dies with Elizabeth Craft Designs, but I wanted to play in their Halloween themed group post, too!   

I was super lucky to meet Joset for coffee last week in Banff and we had a wonderful visit.  That gave me this idea that her puppy might want to go out trick or treating - so now he is! 

We’re going to use the smallest Fitted Oval die to create the ghost costume for the little dog so he can have some fun on Halloween.

Pop on over to the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog to get more Halloween inspiration today!

Here is how I made this little fellow:

 

Supplies

A Way With Words: Beautiful Amazing 
Dog 
Fitted Ovals 
White Soft Finish Cardstock 
Glue Dots
Black cardstock
Red cardstock

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instructions

1. 
   Die cut Beautiful from red cardstock and do a little surgery on the diecut by removing the “e”, “a” and “u” with an x-acto blade.
2. Die cut the smallest Fitted Oval from white cardstock as well as the required bits of the dog shown.  Die cut the eyes and nose from black cardstock. 
3.  Draw a wavy line across the Fitted Oval diecut to form a ghost shape and cut. 
4. Form a tent fold card base from black cardstock measuring 7.5 x 4”
5. Assemble the ghostly dog as shown and adhere to the card base.   
6. Adhere the surgically altered Beautiful over the dog so the eyes form the “o”s to create B-oo-tiful. Flip the tail over the flourish and you’re done!

 

Have some fun creating B-oo-tiful creatures for Halloween by simply altering an oval diecut!

Happy Halloween!
