Happy Sunday everyone!
Today I have a couple of Christmas projects to show you! The first is a very simple card I made for MY Christmas Cards this year! I wanted something elegant and simple...this is what I came up with!
I just love the white and red combination on this showing the beautiful Elegant Flurry Snowflake Die cut. Very easy card to put together! I used a red card base and a white mat partially embossed with a snowflake die. I stamped a sentiment on the bottom, wrapped some red ribbon around the mat, then added the snowflake and a bow!
My second project is a gift card holder I made using the Fancy Envelope Die, my new FAVORITE die! It's perfect as a gift card holder, I love it! I know I'll be using this one a lot!
To make the holder, I cut the envelope with white cardstock and again with some Christmas designer paper (Botanical Noel by Recollections). I trimmed the designer paper piece to cover the flap and another piece for the back (taken from the inside of the pocket).
The Poinsettia Spray was cut with various cardstock scraps that were shaped and slightly inked. I also cut a bow with red cardstock using the Homemade Christmas Gift Set and added a button with a twine bow. I also cut an additional poinsettia flower to decorate the flap with a couple of leaves.
These are the dies I used:
(Note: I don't have a picture of the Fancy Envelope Die.)

This is a gorgeous card! I don't have the dies but I love the elegance of this and it definitely has a WOW impact!! The gift holder is beautiful also.
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOVE the white and red. What a classic and elegant combination. Your bow is so beautiful. Thanks for joining us at ATSM. :)
ReplyDeleteElegant is surely is. The red and white tell the whole story. As usual you bow takes first prize and that airy snowflake is surely a must for everyone. Thank you for joining us today at Word Art Wednesday with your fabulous art.

Lovely cards, Kathy,
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful this is, Kathy! Even the envelope is lovely. The people on your Christmas card list are VERY blessed people in deed. Your cards are always such a joy to view, and it's a blessing to have them shared in our challenges. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate it. I really hope that your Christmas is wonderful, and that the Lord pours out His blessings on you and your family. Because you bless me and others so much with your art, I pray that it will be given back to you in ways that you can't even imagine. God is SO GOOD, and I thank Him for you!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas my friend.
