Much to Celebrate!

I am having a lot of fun playing with and creating projects using the Here's to Cheers Stamp Set and Framelit Bundle.  At first glance, Here's to Cheers appears to be suited only to bottles and tags, but I think the stamps can also be ideal for host thank you cards, Christmas cards, and congratulatory cards.

To make the front of this card to look like a Christmas present, I added a center tag embellishment and some ribbon layered over a 4" by 5-1/4" Crumb Cake rectangle. For an extra detail, I embossed the Crumb Cake cardstock with the Knit Cable Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). This embossing folder is too neat. I have been trying so hard not to go overboard and emboss everything with knitted cables.

To create the center embellishment, I partially die cut a scrap of green plaid paper from the Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack using only the bottom of the wine bottle tag die. I trimmed both sides where the ribbon will go to make a more rectangular embellishment.

Then I die cut the filigree rectangle with Basic Black cardstock. This die is an elegant addition that really pulls the entire embellishment together. Because the filigree die is so intricate, I recommend using the Big Shot Die Brush to help release all of the fine pieces from the die. The Big Shot Die Brush makes it so easy and quick!

The center of the embellishment is a 1-7/8" circle cut from the Layering Circles Framelits and stamped with the Celebrate image.

I cut two pieces of Cherry Cobbler taffeta ribbon - one for the vertical part of the present and one for the horizontal part of the present. I attached the vertical piece of Cherry Cobbler ribbon to the Crumb Cake mat before attaching the center embellishment. Then I threaded the second piece of ribbon through the center embellishment and adhered both to the Crumb Cake. Lastly, I adhered it to the card base.

This color palette is warm, wintery, and cosy. I bet this card would look amazing in an autumnal color palette too! What color palette would you pick?

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello December!

Project Life Accessory Packs are often used to create beautiful memory keeping albums and come with a wide array of stickers, cute printed cards, wood accents, an exclusive stamp set, and more! Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack is no different. It comes with 7 gorgeous silver printed acetate sheets, 6 sheets of stickers including alphabet and foil stickers, epoxy stickers, printed kraft cards, darling silver tree paper clips, wood tree elements, and tons more!

I admit I sometimes overlook Project Life Packs because I make more cards and 3D projects than memory keeping albums. But, who says you have to use Project Life Accessory Packs for only memory keeping?! Why not use Project Life's Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack's amazing silver acetate sheets and stickers to embellish your cards?! How can you resist those adorable little wooden pine trees!? I couldn't!

The silver printed Joy acetate sheet was the first embellishment to catch my eye. The font is stunning and so ideal for this time of year.  When I saw the silver printed acetate sheets in the Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack, I knew they were destined to be shaker cards! I love shaker cards! Here I used the silver printed Joy acetate sheet to embellish the front of my shaker card.

The shaker elements are white, clear, and silver sequins from the metallic sequins pack. The back of the shaker card is made by covering a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the multi-striped washi tape from the Presents & Pinecones Designer Washi Tape pack. I think the washi tape really makes the Joy pop!

You can use all of the elements for alternative projects! The reindeer kraft card is perfect for adorning a card front or a place setting card. You could even add the name of your guest using the alphabet stickers included! The tree paper clips are gorgeous attached to a gift tag or gift box. I'm looking forward to creating even more alternative projects using the Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack!

How would you use the Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack? I would love to see what you make!

And, the Hello December 2016 Accessory Pack is on sale until 12:00AM Mountain Time today! You can save 30%! How could you not resist enhancing your Christmas and winter time cards and projects with this stunning accessory pack. Today is the last day to save on this and for Online Extravaganza.
