For a full supply list with links please click here: 

Instructions:

Card size: 4 5/8” X 6 1/8”.

Make a shaped card (see video) by hanging the outer die of the Royal Gateway Die off the top fold by about 3/4".  The card base will be missing the top so cut another card front with the outer die from white and glue it to the card base matching bottom and side edges.

Cut a Gold Luxe decorative gate and at lease 1 layer of white cardstock or white chipboard to stack under the gold to give the gate a little dimension.  Glue the stack together then glue it to the card front.

Use the Small Festive Poinsettia Stamp Set, stamp using Embossing Ink (VersaMark) 2 large and 3 small poinsettias then embossing using gold powder.  Stamp the leaf in this set and the Holly Berry Spray using VersaMark 2 times then emboss with gold powder as well. Die cut all the flowers and leaves.

Use the Zig Clean Markers to color the poinsettia and the leaves then place in the mold upside down.  Run the mold through your die cutting machine

For the larger flower, glue 2 of the same size poinsettia together then glue one of the size down making the flower 3 layers.  Glue 3 sets of stamen together and glue the stamen to the center.  Repeat for the smaller flower gluing just 2 layers together.

Arrange flowers and leaves/sprays on the golden gate then use a glue gun or heavy weight glue to fasten then to the card.  Add Gold glitter dots to the leaves and stamen.

Stamp Merry Christmas using VersaMark onto vellum then emboss with gold powder.  Trim as narrow as possible then glue a strip of gold (about 1/8” wide) to each side.  Fishtail both ends and glue it to the card

Instructions:

Card size: 5 X 7”.

Make a Gateway arch card placing the outer die of the Teardrop Lattice Gateway die over the left fold of a 5 X 7” folded card (just enough so the left edge does not touch fold) (see video).

Cut the inner die of the Regal Lattice Gateway Die with its frame and the largest Eyelet Frame Gateway Die from red patterned decorative paper (there should be 3 dies taped together).  Cut a piece of Fun Foam the size of the outer eyelet arch and pop it up on the card front. Glue the inner lattice portion down flat on card in the center.  Make a white eyelet frame for the arched window with an Eyelet Frame Die just bigger than the Lattice piece and use the same die that cut out the lattice piece edge with the Eyelet Frame Die.  Glue the white frame onto the arched window.

Stamp the large poinsettia 2 times using Vermillion, sponge it with Carnation Red, die cut.  Stamp the leaves and the Holly Berry Sprays using Library Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut.  Place flowers and leaves in the mold and run through the die cutting machine.  Shape the Holly Berry Sprays from the back with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.

Glue the poinsettia blooms together and glue the stamen together.  Glue the stamen to the center of flower then pierce the center to insert medium yellow pearl stamen.

Make 2 large loop bows with white cord and glue to the top and bottom of poinsettia so that they hang out an inch or more beyond petals.

Arrange flower, leaves and sprays on the left side of window opening and glue.  Stamp the sentiment using Vermillion on white cardstock and die cut with a tag from Album Tags and Accents,    Tuck the tag under the poinsettia then insert red Rose Hip Stamen into the arrangement and glitter the flower, stamen and card.

Mix Lacquer and shimmer together then paint onto leaves for a glossy shimmer

II Corinthians 10:17-18

As the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.” When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.
