VIDEO

You can catch my video tutorial down below or HERE on my Youtube channel. I’ll be walking you through the kit and how I created a couple of the cards shown below.

Since most everything is covered in the video, down below I will briefly go over the supplies used.

For my first card, I used the markers included in the kit to color in some of the elements on the image. I have to admit, I absolutely love these tri-blend markers and have already ordered more!

I die cut the Happy Holidays from the gorgeous red holographic cardstock and layered onto the front of the card.

My next card is using the included embossing folder. I embossed it with the red holographic cardstock and WOW! what shine!

I added a thin frame die cut from gold glitter cardstock and the Tiding of Cheer as well.

This next card is included in the video. I used the Partridge die cut matte gold cardstock for the window of my shaker.

Behind the shaker window, I ink blended Fairway, Sunbeam and Ocean inks.

Isn’t that just magical!?

This next card is similar to the first except I heat embossed the snowflakes in the background.

After coloring the image and fussy cutting out, I added it to the front with foam squares.

BONUS PROJECT!

I don’t post projects like this very often but it’s something I’ve always been meaning to do.

Using the Christmas ephemera, I decorated this vignette box.

Some of the elements are popped up with foam squares to separate it from the background.

I even included some mica flakes towards the bottom and lined it with Pine Twine.

I also added a sheet of acetate to the front to keep the mica flakes from spilling out.

This was such fun to make!

Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration!
