Christmas Gift Card

Almost Christmas and I am finally getting ready making the last preparations for the Christmas Gifts, this gift card holder is a little present for my eldest daughter, inside there will be some euro's to spend at our local beauty salon;) That was her wish and Santa of course doesn't want to disappoint my big little girl.

Xmas ornaments tutorial

Hello, today I have a tutorial for you of making Christmas ornaments.

Supply list:

Paper Julefryd (Englesang, Tradisjon and Forventninger)

Tim Holtz Sizzix paper rosette die

Distress Ink (vintage photo)

Twinklets Diamond Dust

Ranger Ice Stickles (crystal ice)

Folkart paint Metallic (pure gold)

Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam (copper kettle)

Jute packaging twine

Cropadile to make holes

Webster Pages Sparkler

Prima Pebbles

So here we go!

First I used my Quickutz Revolution with large plates to cut the strips of paper

This die will give you one strip and one circle

For the back you'll need another circle but since you won't see it, you can punch or cut that from any kind of left over.

With Glossy Accents (or any fast drying, colorless glue) you glue the ends together after folding the strip.

Put some glue dots on the punched out circle for the back and press the strip in to a rosette

The add some Glossy Accents to the front in and around the hole.

Then press the good circle on top and hold it down till it's dry

(that's why you need fast drying glue, lol!)

You can vary with your colors, mix and match those rosettes!

I've used different techniques to alter the rosettes a bit, one with Distress Ink and one with Glimmer Glam. The Glam make the rosette a bit more stiff. Don't forget to shake your bottle very well!!

For the others I used Stickles, gold paint and Diamond Dust.

With the Cropadile I made some holes and used the twine so I can hang them in the tree.

Last but not least I put some Pebbles on top.


Hope you enjoyed this, if you have questions feel free to email me.

Thank you for looking,

Hugs

Christmas card and gift tags - Ladybug

Det er ikke lenge til jul og jeg henger etter med julekortene. Dette er et av de få kortene jeg får laget i år.
Jeg har brukt de nye julepapirene til Ladybug and friends og ett av de nye motivene til Ladybug, designet av Giordano.

Christmas is soon upon us and I am lagging behind in the making of christmas cards. This is one of the few I have made this year. I have used the new christmas paper from Ladybug and friends and one of the new motives from Ladybug, designed by Giordano.
Jeg liker denne bretteteknikken. Enkelt å lage og dekorativt.

I like this folding technique. It is simple to make and decorative.

I tillegg til julekortet fikk jeg også laget pakkelapper i samme farger og papir.

In addition to the christmas card, I made a few gift tags with the same colors and paper.

Pakkelappenen er enkle å lage. Blomstene er fra Ladybug.

The gift tag is easy to make. Flowers are from Ladybug.

Utrolig morsomt å bruke lakkstang og segl for å feste tråden...

It is fun to use sealing wax to glue the thread to the card.

Supplies:

Size: 15x15 cm

Stamp: Ladybug and Friends, Giordano - The little drummer boy,

Text - ladybug and Friends

Paper: Ladybug and Friends, The Christmas Quilt
