Using a silhouette digi image from Sheepski Designs I made the following two Christmas cards.

For this first card, I used dies from the Christmas Card Set by Amy Designs to create the different mats and layers. As you can see this would be a quick card to mass produce when you run short on time. The sentiment on the inside is a stamp from the Festive Greetings stamp set by Creative Expressions.

For my second card, I used patterned papers from the Christmas Celebration paper pack by Joy! Crafts to create the background, and the Snowflake Squares die set from Marianne Design to frame the silhouette digi image. The little snowman was made using a dies from a set by Cottage Cutz called Snowglobe Winter Accessories.  Lastly I added a ribbon and a few rhinestones for a little extra pizazz. On the inside I stamped a sentiment from a "Deers" stamp set, which was a gently used gift from a friend, but I have no information on it.  

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you liked my card, and feel inspired to get crafty and come play along with us. You have until 12:00 pm, CST, on 8 February 2022, to link your project to our challenge.

Dies R Us ~ Silver Bells

  Hello everyone, and welcome to our latest challenge at Dies R Us.

Challenge #181 ~ Anything Goes! 

(As long as you use a die sold at the Dies R Us store) 

I have another quick and easy card to share with you today. I really love these edge dies from Creative Expressions.  Add a pretty background and you're done. They are so easy to mass produce and I think look beautiful!

For my card I used a piece of  the Christmas Celebrations paper pack by Joy! Crafts. I cut out the Jingle Bells die out of white and silver cardstock and did a little bit of paper piecing so that I would have silver bells. I added a couple of tiny snowflakes made using an old punch. I could not find my tiny snowflakes dies, but I have listed the one I normally use, below.

On the inside, I just adhered a strip of the same background paper I used on the front, added the little bow and another few snowflakes.  And voila, another Christmas card done.

Here is the very small list of dies I used to make this card. I have linked each one

 to the Dies R Us store for your convenience.

Creative Expressions - Jingle Bells Edger

Impression Obsession - Small Snowflake Die Set

Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round ~ "N" is for Nativity

    Hello and welcome to our July's challenge at

 Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round.

 

This month our challenge is to create a project with something beginning with

 the letters  "M"  or  "N".

 So for my project today I chose the letter "N" for Nativity.

To make this card, I used the Grand Christmas Lattice Arch die as well as the Nativity Layering Set die, both from Spellbinders. I used gold mirror cardstock for the front layer and the star burst layer. I used silver for the sentiment layer, and patterned paper, from Joy!Crafts' Christmas Celebrations paper pad, for the background layer.  I was going to add an embellishment in the form of a poinsettia and a few greens, but I love the look of the lattice in gold, so I left it plain.

On the very back I used a stamp from the Glad Tidings stamp set from Cardz TV.

As you can see, although there are quite a number of layers to this card, it does fold flat for mailing and fits comfortably in an A7 envelope.

Thanks so much for dropping by today. We would love for you to make a Christmas project and come play along with us.  You have till the end of the month to link your project to our blog at Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round.

I would like to play along with

The 12 Months of Christmas Link up Challenge

Till next time,

stay safe and well!
