Mary and Joseph Christmas Card

 

I have made an 8x8in white easel card. I have covered the top and bottom with card from the Crafters Companion Nativity 12x12in paper pad. I die cut the Mary and Joseph element in gold mirror card and attached that to my card and then cut the them again in light blue, burgundy, pink and white to enable me to paper piece the element. I used dies from a Spellbinders nesting set to cut the shapes added to my card. I added the gold mirror and white shapes in the top corner of my card with the sentiment attached. The sentiment is cut with a Sue Wilson die. I have cut white and gold stripes to add to the bottom of my card. I added navy satin ribbon to the card stripes, and attached this to the bottom of my card with foam pads so it will act as a stopper for my easel card.  I used the Spellbinder nesting set to cut the elements for the base, the white element will include a personalised sentiment closer the to Christmas.

Z Fold Christmas Card

10th Birthday Card

I cut a 21cm x 21cm square in white card. I scored the square at 10.5cm down and across on both sides of the card. I then cut from the middle of my square down one crease to the edge and then cut again a couple of mm across, remove the strip of card this has created then fold all the creases. On the opposite side to the removed strip, score diagonally across the centre of each square to create triangles. Fold the scores. Cut a 1cm strip of card in the centre fold the strip at 90 degrees and then the same on the other side of the half way fold. These will create an arrow shape, add glue to the sides of the strip avoiding the arrow shape and add to bottom of one of the squares. This will be like a photo corner with the corner underneath the square but the long ends on the top, these are hidden when I have covered all the elements with lilac card. I added rainbow and unicorn elements. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a die from a Spellbinders nesting set. I die cut the numbers with Tattered Lace dies.
