The 12 Days of Christmas

This is the 12 days of Christmas paper that I absolutely love by Graphic 45.  I used two packages of the paper.  The album is 12x12 inches and made from black medium weight chipboard.

My friend Helen Litz and I actually just got together and "designed" this album together.  We had so much fun but just worked on one page at a time and wanted each page, or day of Christmas to reflect the theme and have some fun interactive items.  It can be a challenge to photograph and try to capture the unique flips and folds on each page so I just tried to reflect a little on each day of Christmas.





 A partridge in a pear tree and two turtle doves.

Three french hens, four calling birds

5 golden rings, 6 geese a laying

7 Swans a Swimming, 8 Maids a Milking


 Nine ladies dancing, 10 Lords a leaping

11 Pipers Piping, 12 Drummers Drumming

Creating Classic Roses

Image
I have been asked to demonstrate how I make my Classic Roses.   They are really pretty simple.  I start with the Classic Rose Die from Heartfelt Creations, the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper, the Golf Tools and some Ink. You can get all of these items on the Heartfelt Creations web page.  I like to use hot glue but I have made many of them with the Designer Dries Clear Glue too! I prefer this Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper because it is very heavy and stands up to all the shaping it takes without falling apart.  It also keeps a nice sturdy flower shape indefinitely.   I die cut out four of the same size petal shapes.  (The one pictured here is the next to the largest size.)  I use ink to "shuck" the edges with a sponge dauber and color the inside with a soft makeup brush.   I use the Golf Tool Shaping set from HC exclusively for shaping these roses.  I poke a hole in the center of each of the four flower petal groups, with the Golf Tool. ...

Butterfly Kisses and Wonderful Wishes Baby Card

So many of you asked for some instructions to make this sweet little z-fold baby girl card I will be happy to help.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  This card is super simple and so fun to make and has so many variations. You start with your base which measures 11 inches wide by 4 1/4".  Score at 2 3/4" and again at 5 1/2"  Cut a strip 1 1/2" wide by 11" and score at the same measurements.  I didn't take a picture of attaching that top piece but you can see from the completed photo how it will attach to your base.  I would mat my base card and my strip before attaching the top z-fold piece.  After that you are ready to assemble your little crib.  You will need two of the pieces from the Album Tags and Accents and if you want a little sentiment on the back like I have in the picture then you will need a third one. On the end piece of the side rails  attach a piece of Scor-Pal tape to the front of each end of b...

Moonlight Roses

Here is a card I made for a special birthday.  It was really very simple using the Heartfelt Creations Rounded Lattice Window Die and Classic Roses. This was actually my first card for 2020 and one of my first attempts using foam for the roses.  I hope that you will find this card inspiring. Begin by using the 6"x6"Shutter Fold Card in White.  You will need to cut two 6" circles in the paper of your choice using the outer circle die from the Rounded Sunlight Window Die Set.  I used this beautiful blue plaid paper from the Buttons and Blooms Paper Collection. I then cut the two circles in half, giving you four half circle pieces to cover the two front half circles on the card. Find a pattern of the coordinating paper that you like and cut a 6x6" square for the back opening of the card. Next you will need to cut out four of the Rounded Lattice Window Die from the Lux Gold Cardstock.  Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive glue the gold die cuts over th...
