Season's Greetings ~ Decoupage

Hello bloggers today I have a Christmas card for you with lots of presents.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First I cut a piece of white spotted patterned paper to 5x3 and adhered it to the bottom of the card.  I then cut a piece of green spotted patterned paper to 5x4 and adhered it to the top of the card.  The season's greeting sentiment was printed from Polka Doodles Paper Boutique II 'creative Christmas' CD-ROM.  I cut this out and trimmed it to size and rounded the corners using a corner rounder.  Next I added a chipboard Santa and sleigh embellishment tot he top of the card.  A gingerbread border made from chipboard was attached across the middle of the card.   Next a chipboard strip of parcels was adhered to the bottom right corner.  I added a decorated tree embellishment just behind the parcels.   Finally I added some parcel embellishments to the bottom of the card overlapping some to give the card some dimension.

Rudolph ~ Fanciful holiday

Hello bloggers today we have a card featuring Rudolph.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First I cut down to size a sheet of snowflake decorated paper and then adhered it to the card blank.    Next I used a frame from my stash and attached it to the card.  I then added a chipboard embellishment featuring some bells to the top of the frame.  I also added a chipboard Christmas tree embellishment to the bottom left corner of the card.  From my stash I had a small poinsettia embellishment, so I die cut some poinsettia petals to add to the embellishment to make it bigger.  The poinsettia petals were cut from an off-cut of red roller blind fabric using Spellbinders 'layered poinsettia' die set.   They were then layered up with the small poinsettia embellishment to make a bigger flower which was adhered to the bottom right of the card.  In the center of the bottom of the card I added my sentiment using a chipboard 'Joy' embellishment.  Finally using some leather look paper I die cut my reindeer using Spellbinders 'fanciful holiday' die set.  I then reversed the image and used the back of the paper which has a kraft look as the front.  I added some red glitter glue to the nose to make the reindeer rudolph.

Seasons Greetings

Hello bloggers though I would throw in another Christmas card today.  This is a very quick card so would be ideal for batch making.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First I added the sentiment which I printed and cut out from Polka Doodles Paper Boutique II 'creative Christmas' CD-ROM.  Next I added a chipboard Christmas tree from my stash.  The parcels are made by Paper Mania and were added across the bottom of the card at different angles to give interest and texture to the card.  Finally 2 Santa embellishments were adhered to the sentiment.
