Nordic Drop Ornament

Hi Crafty Friends,
This elegant Christmas card features the gorgeous Poppy Stamps Nordic Drop Ornament and oversized Poppy Stamps Satin Ribbon in gold, layered over a rich burgundy damask background. The deep reds, gold accents, and intricate details give this design a classic, luxurious holiday feel.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you have a favorite Christmas Ornament?
A: Me? Yes! All of my Ornaments By Claudia Collection

Step #1: I started my card with putting together the Nordic Drop Ornament in rich burgundy, red, and gold cardstock.

Step #2: Next, I made my background with a pretty damask paper die cut with a burgundy and gold frame using Poppy Stamps Scalloped Pinpoint Frames 2751.

Step #3: I used the gold cardstock for my pretty Poppy Stamps Statin Ribbon and arranged it in the top left corner of my patterned cardstock.

Step #4: I finished my card by placing the ornament attached to the ribbon and adding the Poppy Stamps Merry Christmas Cheerful Script Die 2741 to the bottom right corner.

Sparkling Pumpkins

Hi Crafty Friends,
Nothing says fall quite like pumpkins, crisp autumn colors, and a little Therm O Web Deco Foil shine! For this card, I combined the Deco Foil Card Panels by Angie Blom Abundant Blessings with the Deco Foil Toner Card Fronts Autumn Vibes Sentiments to create a warm, pumpkin-filled design. I used the Deco Foil Color Harmony Transfer Foil Multi-Pack in Shades of Orange to bring all those pretty autumn details to life. The mix of orange foil, pumpkin images, and coordinating sentiments makes this card perfect for celebrating the season! Use my links above to shop!

SPEC-tacular Surprises with Sparkly Penguin

Hi Crafty Friends,
This adorable winter card features the Spectacular Christmas Dies from Spellbinders, with a cute penguin bundled up for the season. Sparkly snowflakes, glittery earmuffs and glasses, and a cozy cup make this little penguin ready for some snow much fun! The background is Therm O Web Toner Card Front Winter Sparkle with Therm O Web Gina K Designs Fancy Foil Transfers Blue Sky. Use my links above or below and Follow my Instagram @MadeByMeghanK for more!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What do you think is in Santa's gold bag?
A: Me? More cute glasses 

I created my fun foiled background by using Distress Oxide Savage Patina on the Thermoweb Toner Sheet then I took a microfiber cloth and rubbed the ink off the snow flakes. Next, I foiled it with my Thermoweb Gina K Fuse Foiling System Laminator.

I die cut my penguin from a variety of cardstock and glitter cardstock to match my snowflakes 

I glued her all together and mounted her at the bottom of my card. I stamped the sentiment on a little rectangle die and put it in the top left corner at an angle.

Heartfelt Wishes for a Beautiful Harvest Season!

Hi Crafty Friends,
This little pilgrim gnome is bringing all the cozy fall vibes!  I paired the adorable Unity Stamp Company Pilgrim Gnomies Stamp Set with foiled details and a bold orange background for a festive autumn card.  I used Therm O Web Forever Flannel Toner Card Fronts with Color Harmony Deco Foil in Shades of Orange to create the eye-catching plaid banner. The sentiment comes from the Therm O Web Autumn Vibes Sentiment Toner Card Fronts, adding the perfect finishing touch to this harvest-themed design.
