Happy Holiday Ornament Card

Hello everyone :-) 

Today I like to share a clean and simple but beautiful and sparkly card for Where Ideas Bloom. Using white card stock as my base and another layer that I embossed and popped up using fun foam. I then die cut my ornament from Sizzix Ornaments #4 die using cereal box and pretty designer paper, the stars come along with the die, I used chunky crystal glitters on the stars and ornament top, red glitters on the some lines that you see. I then used the very sparkly Red Glitter Bow, Sparkly Black Trim, 

Red Flower Sequins, White Flower Sequins and of course Adhesive.

Season's Greetings Christmas Card

Hi everyone :-) 

I would like to share a winter scene Christmas card that I made for Where Ideas Bloom using the same Spellbinders die I use last week on my handmade ornament. This time I used the whole diecut and of course products from the shop like these floral sprays, sequins and sookwang tape. 

FYI - to make intricate die cuts dimensional, just die cut another layer from fun foam - it cuts like butter even thin dies can cut it. It might not look like its cut all the way through but it did... just push out the cut pieces with your fingers :-)

Thanks for visiting me today :-)

Winter Ornament

Hello everyone :-) 

Today I'm excited to share with you my handmade winter scenery ornament for Where Ideas Blooms. It was so super easy to create and you can create numerous types of scenery or just make a shaker element using the large Domes in the shop. I use my Spellbinders Die "Holiday" for the village scenery which was placed on a circle chipboard. I also placed a super cute Mini Brown Reindeer walking in the snow made of sequins and chunky glitters. I used my white pen to give him some snow on his brown coat :-) For the topper of my ornament I decorated it using Poinsettia die cuts and Flower Spray, also used trims for my hanger.

Thanks so much for visiting me today :-)

Just a little note...

Good morning :-) 

Today I'd like to share a lovely card I made for a friend using the products from Where Ideas Bloom. The focal on this card is the beautiful MDF Wood Medallion that I lightly gesso and then heat embossed to give it that shine. I've also used Forget Me Not flowers to add to my bow and to adhere all layers I used Sookwang Double Sided Tape.

Look at the shimmer on this bow!!!
