Elizabeth Craft Designs- Christmas in Color

 A different color that is! Hello crafting friends!

This is for those of you who like Christmas in non-traditional colors, I know there are a few of you out there!

I used a stamp with VersaMark ink on the background to add a bit of interest.

The decorative frame is cut from Silver Metallic cardstock.

Festive Ornate Frame, Festive Ornaments, Festive Holly Sentiments, Layered Labels

There are 16 ornament pieces for a flat bottom ornament as shown.  I used 32 pieces to make a full ornament.  A lighter weight paper works best for this honeycomb technique.

I glued a bead at the bottom of the ornament.

Elizabeth Craft Designs-Beautiful Poinsettias

 

Hello crafty friends,

I love taking a die and stretching it! Well, not he die but the die-cut. This die has such pretty ends, why not, right?

Festive Ornate Frame,  Winter Greenery, Poinsettia, Festive Holly, Soft Finish Cardstock

Each poinsettia has 2 layers of petals glued off-set then filled with Gold Prills. The Pine Cones have

Snow Pen dabbed on the ends and then heat set to puff up a little.

The Festive Ornate Frames (gold and white) are glued together off-set then cut in half

and glued onto card to each end.  Cut a piece of decorative paper in a rectangle and then glue to center of card to cover cut die pieces and make one smooth layer. If necessary, cut corners of rectangle to make the transition smooth.

Now decorate with all your fun pieces, pine cones, leaves, boughs and flowers.

Add a sentiment if desired or add the sentiment inside.
