Christmas Cards with Graciellie Designs

Hello and welcome!  I'm finishing up a few Christmas cards using Graciellie Designs recent releases.

First I used the Festive Poinsettia Bundle.  I printed the image and sentiment, then cut them out.  I colored the image with Zigs and then added glossy accents to the berries.  I matted the sentiment and then added everything to a white card base with foam tape.

Here's a closer look at the glossy accents on the berries:

And here's a closer look at the beautiful sentiment:

I also made another card using the recent free digital set Gracie offered during Black Friday called "Wonderful Winter."  It's on sale right now for $2.85!  

I had made some similar tags a few days ago and decided I wanted a larger version for a card.

That's what is so cool about digital images, you can resize them to the exact size you want.

Click HERE to see the tags I made earlier this week.  

I made it exactly the same as the tags only larger and then matted it on an inked rectangle and then onto a white card base.  Very fast and easy.   

I added a few glitter Nuvo drops in Moon Dust color to the flower centers.

You can see them better in this photo.

I hope you are having a great first week of December and hope you like my cards for today.

Let me know in the comments below!

Guest Designing for Time Out Challenge - Merry & Cheerful

Hello and welcome!
I am so fortunate to get to guest design again for Time Out Challenge.
This time the challenge is sponsored by Uniko and here's the theme:

For my card I used a frame die from my stash along with MFT products:  Deer Love dies and a sentiment from Hand Lettered Holiday (which is a retired set.)

I made the background with Distress Inks and blender brushes, after first embossing the stars and sentiment in white. Then I splashed water on the background.  I placed the deer dies inside the frame, with their antlers hanging out over the frame.  I added a few red hearts and the red noses and black marker for the eyes.  Here's a closer look:



I hope you will have time to participate in this fun challenge!
