Embellishing Gift Packages

Hello. Today I’m sharing how to embellish gift packages. I will be focusing on Holiday gift packages for this project, but you could do this for any special occasion. So, do you remember THIS speech bubble card set I created? Well, I had the negative glitter die-cuts left over and wanted to put them to good use… I simply adhered the negative pieces to the left over white speech bubbles. Easy peasy. Then I adhered them...

Classic Christmas Card

Hi, there. Today’s classic style Christmas card features a way to stretch the use of your dies… I used THIS die but not as it was intended. I needed a bow that was a bit larger and wider to fill the space. So instead of cutting one top portion of the bow, I cut two. I connected the two in the middle, making the bow much wider.  For the background, I stamped stripes using...

I used THIS die on all the envelopes in different ways. For day one’s card, I created a matching envelope by die-cutting the flap of THIS red envelope and adhering a piece of the coordinating patterned paper underneath… For day two’s card, I dry embossed the die on the...

One Product, Five Ways- Day 3

Hi. It’s already Day 3 of the One Product, Five Ways Week and I’m back with a spinner card using THIS die… I love using die cuts for spinner cards. This die was perfect since it is symmetrical. I cut the die twice from cork paper and sandwiched some of THIS between. I created a background using THIS stamp and THIS cardstock. I cut a whole from the panel and front of the white...

One Product, Five Ways- Day 2

Hello. I’m back with another project featuring THIS die. If you missed Day One’s project, click HERE. This time I wanted to die-cut from a different material other than paper. I chose felt in a rainbow of colors. Remember, you don’t always have to do the traditional red and green when creating Christmas cards. There are no rules. Just create what makes you happy. And rainbows make me happy…. I adhered the felt trees...
