Birthday Wishes!

The Creative Charms Kit of the Month for December is perfect for creating this Winter Birthday Card.  For the card base I used White Bazzill card stock and edged the bottom with the MS Snowflake border punch.  The Snowflake from the Kit of the Month was embellished with the snowflake and stars from the Winter Seasonal Sparkles with another snowflake added to the corner of the sentiment.  The DP is from Authentique Journey collection and the solid card stock is Night of Navy and the sentiment is from Watercolor Tri stamp set both from StampinUp

December Kit Sneak - Ornament by Erika

I'm head over heels in love with the December Kit of the Month. It is filled with some of my favorite Creative Charms Treasures and I wanted to share with you an ornament I created using a few of these treasures.

Hi Everyone! Erika Taylor here today to share with you a glass ornament I altered, using a few pieces from the December Kit of the Month. I'm loving these Seasonal Sparkle Stickers that are in the kit. They pair up perfectly with the pretty butterflies.

So here you are, a few photos of the ornament.  I hope you like it.

For the inside of the ornament, I used ivory acrylic paint, Helmar Premium Craft Glue and blue glitter. Love how it turned out. Almost looks like a little snow storm in there.

 This next picture really showcases the beautiful blue colors of the embellishments against the ornament itself.

Well that is it for me today. I hope you all have a safe and happy Holiday Season. May the light shine brightly for you and your loved ones

Until next time
Seasons Greetings

Be Jolly

Hi there, Joanna Bandelin from Scrap-Making here. I'm so excited we are finally just days away from Christmas! I love this time of year and so I decided to make one last holiday card for someone special.

The pieces of embellishments I used on my snowman are sneak peeks of the December Kit of the Month. This kit has tons of goodies for winter! I especially LOVE the large snowflakes.

You can also get the bling sperately in the Seasonal Sparkles Stickers - Winter Words & Bling. 

I hope you like it! Happy Holidays!

Simple Elegance with the "Nouveaux Vintage" December Kit of the Month

Hi, it's Diane here today to share a few things that I made with the December Kit of the Month "Nouveaux Vintage."  This kit contains some of the newest products and colors in the Vintage line.  The Vintage collection is so beautiful and elegant.  The velvet poppies are one of my favorite things to use because they always make a project special.

For this card I created a pleated paper rosette and added an Ivory Vintage Velvet Poppy to the center.  The poppy is the highlight of the card with the elegant ivory green and gold color scheme.  

I replaced the pearl brad in the center with one of the round Light Green Vintage Jewels.  The rosette is a three quarter rosette and I used gold textured paper from the Making Memories Autumn Splendor line.  The "Merry Christmas" sentiment is cut in glitter cardstock with the Wild Card Cricut cartridge.

The second card I made has a  Grey Vintage Velvet Poppy centered on a medallion that I designed and cut with the Cricut.  The medallion is colored with alcohol inks in blue, silver and pearl.  I used the Antique White Gradient Pearl Stickers in all three sizes around the edges of the medallion.

Here is a closer view of the poppy with the pearl center.

For a different look, you could take out the center pearl brad and use a Gradient Gem Brad in Blue (not part of the December kit).  I  chose to keep the pearl center so all of the embellishments would match.  The "Best Wishes" sentiment is a "peel off" sticker.

Finally, I made a tag for a special gift with plenty of "bling."  For this tag I used another Ivory Vintage Velvet Poppy and five of the Light Green Vintage Jewels.

I used two of the teardrop shaped jewels as "leaves" for the poppy and lined up two rectangles and a circle jewel across the bottom of the tag.  The foil cardstock with the ribbed lines used for this tag and the first card is from American Crafts.

To add a splash of color to the poppy, I used a red ProMarker to color the pearl brad center.  This gives yet another look to these very versatile poppies and was quick and easy to do.

There are so many items in the December Kit of the Month.  I can make many more cards and tags before I come close to running out!  The new velvet colors are lovely and can be used for many non-holiday projects so it would be great to add these new colors to your collection while the kit is available at a special price this month.

You can see more photos and step by step directions of how I made the Merry Christmas card with the rosette on my personal blog, Capadia Designs, at THIS POST.

Thanks for stopping by today.
