Quick and Easy Christmas Cards in Burgundy with Cream

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy back to share some more fun projects!
Again, I'm using the new Christmas Collection:

 Burgundy with Cream

This time I have made a selection of quick and easy Christmas Cards.
They look like so much more because of the beautiful papers.

We all need the option to make pretty cards that are easy to mail too.
So these digital products make them flat and fabulous!

Here are the first two cards:

For these two cards I simply resized two of the papers from the collection.

I distressed the edges with both a tool and ink,

and added them to burgundy cardstock card bases

I wanted you to see a closer look at these beautiful Digital Sentiments.

They are so elegant and the final touch to finish the cards.

You'll find them HERE.

Here are the next two cards:

For these two cards I used the card fronts from the collection. 

I was inspired by the frame around the card on the right to do some embossing.

I placed the piece on my scoreboard and simply followed the lines

with my embossing tool.

I repeated the process for the other card front.

If you look closely you can see it.

Then I adhered the card fronts onto burgundy cardstock bases.

To finish them off, I Stickles to each of them.

On the left, I added a frosty one to each of the snowflakes.

On the right, I added gold glitter to all printed old glitter bits.

Card Papers 5x5" sq used

 Hello Paper Artists

Two cards using the card paper collection again as well as the

 Cut & Creates on the insides of the cards

The white flower is embellished with gold foil; holly berries & leaves are added & a burgundy organza ribbon with satin edges is tied in a bow & the ties are glued & looped to add depth.

This is the inside of the card.

Belly bands in burgundy with gold sparkle ribbon are added to each side. Word Art printed on vellum is added on each band.  The Santa image is from the Cut & Creates, the burgundy tag is from the side of a card paper & the cream tag is from the collection.

The 2nd card also uses the Card Paper collection.

This cover really needed no embellishment.

I tied a cream organza ribbon around the centre of the card & had a fluffy bow

On the inside of the card, I did 'some' embellishing - maybe too much. I think I had started a mini album & then changed my mind.

Both sides used a frilly die which I cut on burgundy cardstock & added pearls

The left side of the card used 2 images from the Cut & Create collection; the word art is foam mounted; holly berries & leaves are tucked under the word art.

The right side of the card has a piece from the side of the card paper foam mounted to allow a burgundy tag to insert.

There is a 1/4" spine on the card to allow the foam mounting

Coming up next - some mini books - you know I had to do some of these.

Bye for now

Cut out ephemera image from the cut & create sheet, ink then adhere as shown.
To finish gift card add self-adhesive pearls.

A Birthday card.

Simply make:

Trim digital patterned paper to 10 x 14.2cm, ink edges with distress ink: milled lavender, then adhere to card base. Add lace and gold washi tape as shown.
Die-cut oval shape in white cardstock, ink then adhere to patterned paper.

Die-cut image in an oval shape, ink then adhere to green oval shape.

Next fussy cut image from the cut & create sheet, ink then fix in place as shown.

Hello Paper Artists

I have been busy posting the Design Team Ladies' projects with this collection & getting the Christmas in Burgundy with Cream collection tied up that I almost forgot to post my own 2 cards & Mini Album.

The digital paper collection is called Lavender with Mint.

This is my first card using the Mint papers.

The front of the card uses a border from 1 of the Mint papers. A die-cut & then a piece of lace is tucked under the border.  A die-cut tag from the same green cardstock has been made & it is embellished with paper roses, leaves, a ribbon & pearls.  A transparency butterfly & a foam mounted word tag are the final touches.

The inside of the card has a piece of the border cut to make a tuck spot.  A tag with a die-cut, pearl & ribbon is tucked in.

A simple card measuring 6" sq could be used for a variety of occasions

Mint Beautiful Thoughts Card

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy back with you today.
I have created another card using the new Lavender with Mint Collection.

As I said last time, one of my favorite colour combinations is purple with green,
and this collection is just that...and more!

Last time I focused on the "Lavender" and this time I'm focusing on the "Mint"!

 Here's my card layed flat:

Here it is standing up:

The elements of this collection are ideal for an easel card.

The base is made from green cardstock,

and the layers were cut from one of the Lavender with Mint Papers.

I fussy cut the flowers, butterfly, and ticket sentiment,

from the collection.

I inked all the edges before assembling everything.

To finish it all off, I added a pretty double-looped bow and some pearls.

Although it doesn't show in the photos, 

I went over everything with my sparkle marker,

so it has a really lovely sparkle!

A Walk in Nature Cards

 Hello Paper Artists

Here are my other 2 cards

It is interesting to see that Trish used the same selected papers  - you can see 2 different versions of them - just a fluke.  The fronts of the cards use 1 of the papers in the Journal 10x7" collection.

The 1st card has the image fussy cut, inked around the edges & simply attached to the front of the card with a jute twine through the hole in the top of the image. The cardstock is khaki - 2 papers in my stash from forever ago.

Inside the card are 2 ephemera - one being used as a tuck spot. 

Jute twine is knotted through a hole punched in the other

This is the other half of the Journal paper. 

This one is fussy cut, mounted on ivory cardstock & then onto the khaki one.  

The inside of the card is embellished with 2 of the Cut & Creates

Very simple cards which could be embellished further if you wish

Bye for now

Introduction and some Summer Garden Creations

Hello everyone!  My name is Jeanette Wilde and I have had the privilege of being invited to join Meg's Garden's design team.  My first projects use the gorgeous papers of the Summer Garden kit and the very versatile ephemera set.  My love is junk journals and mini albums and I really enjoyed using these papers to make a cloth covered journal - used some vintage upholstery and cotton fabric.  You can see a flip through of the journal here.

I also made a really simple card which has a unique tuck front.

I hope you have enjoyed my creations and I look forward to sharing more with you in the future!

A Simple Card to beat Covid-19

Hello Paper Artists

I had trouble creating under the shadow of Covid-19

Finally, I decided I was going to win over the virus so I took a piece of cardstock 

that was on my work table. found some patterned papers & set to creating.

This is the result:

The cardstock was a cutoff from another project & is pale sage green.  It was too long for the paper so I turned it up & created 2 tags to insert & 2 of the word tickets using the same Iris Blue ribbon from the front. The tags are ready for sentiments or further embellishing.

The paper is a page from the Pink & Green Collection. It did not need much embellishing.

Corners rounded, inked on the edges with green ink & before attaching to the front of the card, a piece of 38mm lace was tied around & the tied in a bow.  Green paper rose leaves, a blue-mauve paper wild rose & Iris Blue double sided satin ribbon tied in a double bow with the ties flowing over the front of the card.

The card worked & I got into the unfinished journal on my table - you have already seen 

the video of that.

Whenever your creativity is stuck on a project, put it aside & start a new & easy art piece - do not start with a blank piece of paper - pick up a beautiful piece & go from there.
