Now let’s hear all about Wanda’s pretty, wintery projects!

Hi crafty friends! I’m excited to be here with you today on TGIF on The Greetery Blog! It’s always fun to share a project with you. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. It’s time to finish up our Christmas crafting and creating. So today I have a suite of projects with a jolly, merry, holiday theme: A card, a gift card holder, and some pretty tags. I used the same stamps and dies for all the items so it all matches and would be perfect for giving a gift to a special friend.

I started by choosing a bright and happy color palette of mid tone colors: Greens, pinks and aqua….then I used some vellum and silver too. It’s all icy and sparkly. I used the tree die from Christmas Time in the City to die cut out about 20 of those fabulous trees. I used the dies from the Snowflake Soiree suite to die cut silver snowflakes. I die cut tags using the new Tag Team Duo Dies. I laid out all the designs first and mixed and matched elements until I liked it. I splattered everything with white paint (snow!)

For the card I attached the trees using foam tape and then I die cut the sentiment in black. The card is an A2 card layered with aqua, white and vellum. SO fresh! For the tags, I did the same thing – mixed and matched. I added ribbon and embellishments to the tops of the tags. The “merry and bright” sentiment is from the Speed Tagging Christmas stamp set. The gift card holder was made from vellum and a Starbucks card fits just right inside. The Nordic Circles dies are a great element to mix with a Winter theme.
