Christmas time in the city

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Wanda has an amazing TGIF project to share with you today, and we also have another sneak peek of our new All Wrapped Up collection that’s coming to the shop on Tuesday!

Here’s peek #2 of my smorgasbord board of paper goodies. Our new All Wrapped Up collection is mainly dies (with a couple of great sentiment stamp sets) that are filled with possibilities that I think you will love. What do you spy in this fun peek?

Now let’s turn it over to Wanda for her incredible TGIF project…

Hi crafty friends! I’m so happy to be joining you here today on The Greetery Blog for TGIF! It’s always my pleasure to share a project with you! I’m totally in the mood for Winter and Christmas crafting and I have a blizzard of a project for you today! I was inspired by my small snowglobe collection, so I created a shaker/snowglobe card to share with you today! I used lots of my favorite products from The Greetery – including those awesome Candy Pops! So, yes, my snowglobe is inside a candy!

My finished card is an A2 white card base layered with red and then striped cardstocks. I used the Postal Frames as my top layer. The feature of my card is a Candy Pop that I made into my snowglobe shaker. I’ve also added pretty silver snowflakes from the Snowflake Soiree Dies.

I die cut out the City Skyline and the Tree from the Christmas Time in the City Dies. I added bits of glitter to the tops of the buildings and the star on the tree. For the background I used Distress Oxide Ink to blend a bright blue sky. I stamped in some tiny snowflakes from the Christmas Time in the City stamp set. I stamped the sentiment from the Candy Pops stamp set onto the outer edge of my candy.

I assembled the Candy Pop using the 1/2″ bubble. I added fake snow from the craft store and some tiny white sequins into my snowglobe candy before assembling it all together. The candy pop was fully assembled first and then glued onto the card. I added some twine to the wrapper and some festive holly and berries! This was such a fun project!

Have a great weekend, and happy Winter! Don’t you just love Christmas projects?! Take care and I will see you soon. Until then, happy crafting! Wanda

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.

That’s it for me this time! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Until I see you again, happy crafting! XO Wanda
