White cardstock, Luxe Silver Cardstock,  Copic Markers: R24, R29, C3, YG61, YG63, E33, E35, clear embossing powder.

 Instructions:

Card size: 5 1/2 X 6 1/2".  Start with 2 pieces of white card, one 5 1/2 X 9 3/4" and one 5 1/2 X 3 3/4".  Score the 3 3/4 X 5 1/2" piece at 1/2" to make a tab.  Glue the tab to the 9 3/4” piece.  Score the long piece (not counting add on) at 6 1/2".  2 sides should measure 3 1/4" each.  Cut light blue decorative paper for each panel (inside and out for 2 sides). Glue pieces to card base.  Cut each side with the decorative die of the Decorative Circles set.  Cut the decorative die along with the outside die from silver.  Use the outer die cut as a frame for the die cut opening.  Cut another out of silver for the inside of each side.  Use the silver decorative die cut in the center of the card inside.  Cut a white circle for the center of the inside.  Cut an eyelet circle from silver.  Cut the center part with both snowflake dies inserted of the Snowglobe die from white, (before gluing inside card stamp it with Merry Christmas using Vermillion and emboss with clear).  Now glue it to the eyelet silver.

 Stamp Cardinals, leaves and poinsettias using black.  Sponge flowers with Carnation and top or edge with Vermillion.  Sponge leaves with Fern Green.   Die cut all, form poinsettia and leaves in the mold.   Glue 2 blossoms for each flower then fill centers with silver Prills.  Glitter flowers.  Color Cardinal facing left and cut it apart from other cardinal.  Cut another cardinal from decorative light blue paper for strength and glue a small magnet between the colored cardinal and backing.  Glue the other half of the magnet to the left top corner of side panel to match magnet inside bird glued to the right side top.  Glue poinsettias to the bottom left corner with leaves.  Randomly glitter card. 

My next card uses the Swing Fold Card, part of it anyway.

Instructions:

Card size: 6 X 6”.  Cut light blue decorative paper to fit each of the 1st and 2 panels then cut off the 3rd.  Cut from silver the Rounded Lattice with the Rounded Eyelet-(the outer Eyelet ring) for the front.  Cut from silver half of the Rounded Lattice with the half eyelet frame for the inside.  Cut a half circle of white to fit and glue it to the back to make a pocket with the half circle eyelet.  Glue the pocket onto the inside avoiding the top straight part.  Cut from silver the Courtyard Elegance with the eyelet part of the Stairway Gardens then glue to the square inside.  Cut a large circle from white to glue to the center of the square.  Before gluing the front silver die cut weave ribbon into the holes then glue it down to the front making sure to leave a long tail of ribbon to go around the back and tie at the side. 

Make a multi loop bow with the silver cord and glue it in place at the far right side above the woven ribbon. 

 Cut 2 white tag frames and 2 tags from the decorative paper.  Glue them together, glitter them and the decorative paper behind where they will go.  Insert silver ribbon into the tag holes at the top.  Insert tags into the pocket.

 Stamp using black ink, the deer and 2 sets of Aspen trees, die cut then color (this sample shows fall colors but you can also do green). Tear strips of white cardstock then cut them to match bottom portion of circle inside card.  Glue the sides and bottom together then place your deer and trees in the circle (some slightly under a layer of torn paper).  Pop the tops of the deer with foam tape or other dimensionals).  Use Dries Clear glue and glitter on all the ground snow then use some Dries White glue in dots on the tree with glitter for “first snow”.  Stamp Cozy Winter Wishes” using dark blue then cut into a strip and fishtail ends.  Curl the sentiment slightly and glue it to the inside bottom of card.  

 For the front of card: Stamp poinsettia using dark blue, sponge with light blue, die cut.  Sponge the backs.  Stamp the holly with dark green, sponge with light green, die cut then sponge the backs.  Use the mold to form flowers and leaves.  Glue flowers together in sets of 2 then fill centers with silver Prills.  Glitter the flowers, gloss/shimmer the leaves then glue to the card as desired.  Stamp “Happy Holidays” using dark blue, cut into a strip, fishtail ends, curl then glue to the card below woven ribbon.

Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

Make the card base by folding white cardstock to measure 3 1/2 X 5” then cut it with the large Eyelet Oval die leaving the top of the die overhanging by about 1/4" so that fold stays intact.  Cut another Eyelet Oval to glue onto front of base then glue the large Ornate Oval on top of the Eyelet Oval.  Cut an oval from Fun Foam (Foam Sheet) to fit the back of the smaller Ornate Oval then glue it to the back of the smaller Ornate Oval and glue to the center of the card front. 

 Cut an oval to fit smaller Ornate oval out of the decorative paper, stamp it with Merry Christmas and emboss with red.  Glue the stamped oval to the center of Ornate Oval.  Glue another decorative oval to the inside and add another sentiment with oval dies from decorative paper with desired.  Add the Sweetheart stand to front and back of oval card.

 Stamp the cardinals using black, die cut and color.  Cut the 2 birds apart and use just the left bird.  Glue it to the left side of decorative paper oval.

 Stamp poinsettias and holly using white pigment ink and then emboss with white embossing powder, die cute and form slightly from the back (you can use the mold, but it usually leaves embossing inside).  Glue 4 layers together, 2 large and 2 a bit smaller then fill the center with gold Prills.

 Cute a piece of tulle about 6”, tie the center with a small piece of wire.  Either spray the tulle with adhesive or brush some adhesive on and sprinkle with glitter.  Glue the center of the tulle to the left side of card under bird then arrange poinsettia and holly leaves on top.  Add white stamen to the arrangement as desired.  Glitter the poinsettia and holly leaves.

 Add pearls to stand and oval.

John 1:12-13

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the [a]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
