Shrinky Dink Cardinal on Seasonal Wreath

Seasonal Wreath 3D embossing folder with Shrinky Dink Cardinal from Toile Christmas stamp set & Christmas Cardinal Dies.  Strips of Red Glimmer Paper are scotch taped to the back of the top layer and the entire top layer is popped up on a Thick Whisper White base.

• Base:  Thick Whisper White  4 1/4  X 11  scored at 5 1/2
• Wreath:  Whisper White, 3 15/16 (4″ minus a hair) X 5 1/2, emboss with Seasonal Wreath Embossing Folder
• Strips of Red Glimmer Paper:  Make 2;  3/8 X 5 1/2;  use scotch tape to adhere to the back of the embossed wreath

• Banner:  Whisper White 1 1/2 X 3 1/2  Stamp greeting with Real Red Ink
• Inside Frame:  Red Glimmer Paper,  3 1/8 X 3 1/8, Use circle framelit to cut circle.   The two Christmas Cardinal Scrolly dies can be cut from the inside of the red glimmer paper circle
• Inside top greeting:  2 3/4  X  2 3/4  cut with one size smaller circle.  I used circles 5 & 6 in the retired circles.
• Branches:  Whisper White 3 X 3,  Cut two large and two small branches.  Place 4 glue dots in the bottom middle of the wreath and layer: one large to right, one to left, one glimmer paper scrolly die to left, one scrolly die to right touching in the middle to look like one, one small branch to the left and one small branch right about the middle to cover all the glue dots.  Use glue dots to place the cardinal above the branches so he looks like he is sitting on the red glimmer scrolly.
• Embellish the wreath with red glimmer dots.

Noble Peacock Foil Christmas

This card uses the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper with Noble Peacock Foil Sheets cut with the Detailed Bands dies and layered on an oval of Bermuda Bay. The top layer of DSP is bordered with a strip of black foil paper and another black foil strip is cut out with one of the Detailed Bands dies for the inside.  The Merry Christmas is a separate piece that is popped up with dimensionals. The card base is Bermuda Bay.  The outside Merry Christmas is actually a sticker I picked up from a Krazy Creations craft booth several years ago.  The inside greeting is from the “Timeless Tidings” stamp set.

For those who felt the colors were better for a birthday card, the “Band Together” stamp set that is bundled with the “Detailed Bands Dies” (page 121) has a perfect birthday greeting that fits perfectly on the cut out center and was easily embossed with black embossing powder to tie to the overall shiny look of the foils.  The inside greeting is from the current “Country Home” stamp set.

• Base:  Bermuda Bay  5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4
• 1st Layer:  Peacock DSP 3 7/8 X 5 1/2
• Strip to border 1st Layer:  Black Foil  1/2 X 5 1/2
• Strip at top of inside:  Black Foil  1 X 5 1/2 , cut with Detailed Bands Die
• Greeting Layer 1:  Bermuda Bay  die cut oval 2 1/2 X 3 1/2
• Greeting Layer 2:  Turquoise Peacock Foil die cut with Detailed Bands die, trim edges so it covers from the black to the right edge, adhere directly to oval
• Greeting Layer 3:  The Detailed Bands Die gives a great cut out to stamp a greeting and pop up with dimensionals
• Embellish:  I used 9″ of turquoise sequin ribbon and loops of black thread to adhere behind the oval before gluing the oval directly to the DSP.  Two Noble Peacock Rhinestones completed the card.

K-Cup Thank You Gift

For a little thank you gift I made a K-cup holder sitting on top of a pumpkin spice latte mix, the little squiggle below the thank you is in the “A Big Thank You” stamp set:

• Long Strip:  Pumpkin Pie, 2″ X 12″  Score at 5″ and 7″ ( Tip:  score at 5″ and turn and score other side at 5″), punch each end with Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.
• Inside Box: Early Espresso  3 15/16  X 3 15/16  ( 4 X 4 minus a hair on each side)
• Score each side at 1” and then make tabs at every other corner by cutting 1″ from the corner to the score line. Cut the tabs at an angle to make them easier to adhere. Use Tear and Tape to adhere sides.
• DSP:  Make 2:  1 3/4 X 4 1/4
• DSP:  Make 2:  1 3/4 X 7/8  (sides of the box)
