Cupcake Shadowbox Cards

Hello all! December is such a busy month for birthdays in our family! We have 3 ladies that have birthdays this month and I went ahead and made all of their cards the same. Sometimes we just need to do streamlined cardmaking to stay ahead of it!

This file was from the Silhouette Store. I jazzed it up by using the awesome papers from DCWV's Vintage Collector stack. I have always LOVED that stack and was so happy to create with it again.

The different layers are popped up with foam tape to create a lot of dimension. I could have popped up more layers, but I still wanted it to be okay to mail. The only embellishments I added were a rhinestone for the cherry and a bow of Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

DCWV Winter Snow Globe Display

Hello all! Beth from the DCWV Social Media Design Team here. Christmas is such a beautiful time of the year and I love to decorate for it! Today I am sharing a snow globe that I created using the Light-Up Terrariums stack.

I started with the hexagon terrarium (it uses both pages from the stack with hexagon shapes on it), folded all the score lines and added red line tape to the tabs.

Then I took a large and small tree as well as the doe and fawn from the Holiday Village stack and hot glued them to the base. I wrapped one of the strands of lights included in the Light-Up Terrariums stack around the base and trees and finished it off with some fake snow inside. After that is when I adhered the top to the bottom.

To make the snow globe base, I enlarged a file from Snapdragon Snippets or SVG Attic to fit the hexagon terrarium and used papers from the Gilded paper stack and Cranberry Christmas to cut with my Cameo machine. The finishing touch was a bow of May Arts ribbon.

I also added two of the small terrariums to my display.

The best part about these is that they can stay up even after Christmas is over since they fit in the "winter" category.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Quick Christmas Cards...Take 3

Happy Sunday to all of you! I am back with my fnal installment of quick Christmas cards. You can find my first post HERE and my second one HERE. I just love how quick these were and I still feel like they turned out very nice.

The papers from DCWV's Christmas Plaid stack are what made these so easy to create! Those sentiment panels were all included in that stack.

I used various dies from Gina Marie Designs' Stitched Rectangles and Scalloped Stitched Nested Rectangles to create the layers. (If you haven't checked out her dies yet, you really need to! They are super reasonable!!)

I accented the cards with Nuvo Crystal Drops, Rhinestones, and Candy Cane and Holly Berry Trendy Twines.

The panels with the words on are popped up with thin foam tape.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Twine ~ Peace & Joy Muslin Bag

Good morning! It is my day to post on the Trendy Twine blog. This month, we are featuring the 4"x6" Cotton Muslin Bags and Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine.

The 4"x6" Cotton Muslin Bags was a great blank canvas for me to create with. I stamped small stars and a sentiment on it from the APB Merry Christmas stamp set. I glued a variety of sequins from the Frosted Cranberry Sequins into the center of the stamped stars.

I used a Blue Tag-It as a topper on the bag. The Christmas Blessings sentiment is from the APB Merry Christmas stamp set and the To: From: is from the APB Merry & Bright stamp set. A large red button and a tie of Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine finished off the top.
