Eden's Garden Bundle, Sweet as a Peach & Amaryllis Abloom

I made this Tied Back Curtain card after watching Beth Rush's video. I can see myself making lots and lots of this type of card with many of the DSP packs I have. So fun.

You can see her video Here, post of November 1, 2021, and also visit her at www.bethspapercuts.com.  

Recipe:

• The bases are 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 pieces of Evening Evergreen scored at 4 1/4.
• The Ever Eden DSP layers are 5 1/4 x 4.
• The words on the top card are from the Sweet as a Peach stamp set, and the words from the bottom card are from the Holiday Mini catalog as a host set, Amaryllis Abloom.  It is available until January 3, 2022, or while supplies last.  You actually do not need three stamp sets to complete these cards.  The words in the Eden's Garden set are great.  The words I used were for a couple of wonderful ladies.
• I cut some gold leaves from the Beautiful Leaves dies and placed them behind the oval on the top card.
• The rest of the card and the curtain instructions are available on Beth's YouTube video.
• All done!!  Now, how easy is that.  And remember to decorate your envelope.

 Beauty of Tomorrow Suite, Sweet as a Peach & Special Moments Stamps

Loving this technique.  Not sure that is what you would call a paper piecing pattern, and in any case, it was fun making these cards.

The top card uses words from a stamp set, Special Moments, that will be available, for free, with a $100.00 order from January 4, 2022 until February 28, 2022.

Recipe:

• I began by scoring an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Cinnamon Cider at 4 1/4, then adhering a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Blackberry Bliss to this base.  Set aside.
• Next lay pieces of Blackberry Beauty DSP in a random pattern on a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Gold Foil, leaving a space between each piece of DSP so the foil shows.  My pieces are either 7/8" wide or 1" wide, and long enough to reach a little past the edges of the foil.  I made the corner pieces by measuring and "eyeballing".  Not an exact science, and still pretty close to my goal.
• Next I trimmed the blackberry DSP/foil covered piece to measure 4 3/4 x 3 1/2.
• I took another 5 1/4 x 4 piece of gold foil and cut the center out with the second from the largest Rectangle Stitched Dies. 

I saved the inside foil piece for another time. (If you do not have the Stitched Rectangle dies, then you can use your Paper Trimmer to cut 1/4" from the edge on all four sides).  I then glued my Blackberry Beauty DSP/Foil piece to this cut out foil layer.  Note: by cutting out the inside of the 5 1/4 x 4 foil layer, you have less bulk on your card, and you have a 5 x 3 1/2 piece of foil to use on another project. "I'm not cheap, I'm frugal". Just sayin'.

• I used my Hippo & Friends dies, Rich Razzleberry and Basic White to cut out the pieces for my sentiments. I stamped the words in Blackberry Bliss, and the little flower and bird in Cinnamon Cider.
• I adhered the Rich Razzleberry die cut to the card front with Tombow Multipurpose glue.
• Next I adhered four dimensionals in the corners of the back of the already stamped Basic White cutout, threaded some Polished Pink ribbon through this piece, leaving enough ribbon on each end to wrap under each side of the card. Turn the card piece over, to adhere the ribbon to the back side of this piece.
• Next glue these two pieces to the Blackberry Bliss/Cinnamon Cider combination.
• I added a couple of gold foil leaves (from the Beautiful Leaves dies, to the front, and I popped up the bird with two mini-dimensionals.
• All done!! Now, how easy is that. And remember to decorate your envelope.

    Word Wishes Dies and
 Peaceful Place DSP 

I am on a quest to make many easy Christmas cards that take very little time.  This one definitely fits into my plan.  Doesn't even use a stamp set, except for the inside.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Pacific Point, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Real Red layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Gray Granite layer is 5 x 3 3/4.
• The Peaceful Place DSP layer is 4 3/4 x 3 1/2.
• The words are cut out with the Cut and Emboss Machine, Red Foil and the Word Wishes dies.  I used an adhesive sheet on the back of the Red Foil, so the words had glue on the back of them.  
• The snowflake is from the Wonderful Snowflake pack.
• All done!!  Now, how easy is that.  And remember to decorate your envelope.
