Layered christmas cards handmade

Adhere and add a long greeting between the two. Watch how on my FB Live replay! Measurements: 5 1/2"...

The cracking of the vellum was kept to a minimum. I then decided to use the layout from a sketch I had done just days before. I chose to use Stampin' Up's…

Understanding how to cut layers for card making can be challenging, so let's discuss how to measure your cardstock for layering.

I found a great use for scraps....make them into a quilt block to be used on a card or scrapbook page! The template for these cards is on the Scrapedia website. In order to make the quilt block the "main attraction" I kept the rest of the card fairly simple. Some faux stitching with Sharpie markers, and a simple Word Border Stamp (Hero Arts) completes the card. I'll have the horizontal version of these same colors for your tomorrow. My favorite thing about these cards is how 3D the quilt…

Welcome to my blog post today. I love to find simple techniques for using up paper scraps and today I want to share a quick and easy one that turns nested or layered circle dies into some pretty fancy cards. When I saw a masculine card on Pinterest created by Sue Vine of Miss Pinks Craft Spot I knew I had to try this out. There are lots of different versions out there but I liked the simplicity of her card. Here's Sue's card: Here's My Version of a Layered Circle Masculine Christmas Card: I…
