Candlelit Christmas Card Series Part 1 of 1

I spent a lot of time cutting up and die cutting the entire paper collection. I mat this, emboss that, stamp a little, and shop about my entire craft room. This can take a couple of weekends and I feel like I'm not making anything... and then... voila! SEVEN unique Christmas cards.

The papers and flowers are all from Candlelit Christmas by Heartfelt Creations.

The embossed piece is a folder for Cuttlebug. My Cuttlebug is still going strong and I always use the extended plates. The house and candle dies are from my stash.

The snowflake border is a Fiskars punch. The embossed snowflake piece is a folder for Cuttlebug. The decorative mat is by Heartfelt Creations.

Celebrate the Season Gift Set

 Celebrate the Season by Heartfelt Creations definitely celebrates nontraditional seasonal colors. I love it!
This adorable file box includes a drawer, file cards, and a set of 5 greeting cards with envelopes.

The cut file is 3D Desk Organizer with Drawer by Lori Whitlock. I love simple 3D projects like this and Lori Whitlock is a fantastic SVG designer. Her files always make sense to me.

I had plenty of Celebrate the Season paper but I do not have the coordinating stamps and dies. I did some searching around and could have bought bits here and there. However, I decided to create my own with the Silhouette Design Software and various cutting dies. I learned a lot from this video about how to make any cut file into a print and cut.

I placed some charming little tags in the drawer.

These file pieces are from the same SVG organizer file.

Joy is an SVG by Miss Kate Cuttables. Since it is a cut file, I was able to alter the colors to fit my project. The flowers are from Lush Lilac paper and dies by Heartfelt Creations.

Box Set Dedicated to Dad

 

I do love a good gable box. I made this one many years ago with the Silhouette Cameo. 

This summer, I finally made some cards to go in it. These could be cards for giving or this set could be for memory keeping. I'm not sure how I'll use it yet? The papers on the cards are from Swagger by Fancy Pants. I know. I have a lot of old stuff in my stash. 
Great stuff!

name that collection

I have a process these days that once I cut in a paper collection, I go nuts. However, today's cards are made from the scraps leftover from these collections. I created a "series" compiled of Tea Time, Classic Petunia, Sugar Hollow, and Lush Lilac. I think. All from Heartfelt Creations.

I think the purple die cut piece from an old collection by Little Yellow Bicycle. Also, I think that die cut has been waiting to be used from the days I had a Cricut Expression. I do miss the Expression! I have been using the Silhouette Cameo since 2014.


This little sentiment tag was cut from Lush Lilac. I must confess that I struggled with the tea paper. I found it quite faded for my taste.

Now, Classic Petunia is rich with color! I wish I had more of it. I believe the base paper here is from Sugar Hollow.

More from Classic Petunia. How easy to just trim away this pretty well and layer some papers together and voila! A classy card!

I think the middle piece with the ribbon is from Camelia Carnation. The roses were cut from the Wild Rose Paper Collection. I believe the leaves are from Classic Rose stamps and dies. I'm often too lazy to do anything with the center of flowers, so I decided it's my signature to leave them plain.

The clouds are from Lush Lilac and the flowers were stamped and cut from Wild Aster stamps and dies. The leaves are from Leafy Accents by Heartfelt Creations. The chubby bird is from Clematis Birdhouse and Trellis Cling Stamp Set and dies.

Woodsy Wonderland Series

I have a process these days that once I cut in a paper collection, I go nuts. Therefore, I created a "series" of Woodsy Wonderland.

Here, we have four cards.

I struggled with this collection because I found the papers and printed animals to be dark for my taste. However, I was able to brighten it up enough to make some delightful cards. All of the papers and bits here are from Woodsy Wonderland by Heartfelt Creations.

I'm a sucker for anything with little birdies.

I brightened this card with a white paper punched trim and a bright sentiment piece. The butterfly is from a Fiskars punch and the arrow bubble is a random bit cut from the Silhouette cameo.

How cute are these little animals!

The cloud is a bit from Wildwood Cottage by Heartfelt Creations. I cut it with a Fiskars punch. Notice the lush blue card base? Clearance Christmas cards!

How cute is this wee bunny! I die cut him from the Woodsy Wonderland paper with the 

This one is nice and simple. The deer piece is cut straight from the patterned paper and the sentiment is die cut using Ticket and Tags Die.

Silhouette Series

When I decide I'm going to do something cutting with the Silhouette Cameo, I cut a lot. I love the print and cut feature. I also love turning svg files into a print and cut!

Here, we have three cards.

This card is A2 Card Lightbulb Dad by Lori Whitlock. I made the lightbulb a print and cut. I did the same to the sentiment piece. So, the card doesn't have as many layers as the original file but it's still cute and was way easier for me.

This card is A2 CARD KIT - CONVO BUBBLE HEXAGON PATTERN by Kolette Hall. I replaced the paper arrow with little wooden ones.

I always need baby cards for coworkers! This one is A2 Easel Card Baby Rubber Duck by Lori Whitlock. I made the sentiment piece a print and cut.

Happy Camper Series

 I have a process these days that once I cut in a paper collection, I go nuts. Therefore, I created a "series" of Happy Camper by Heartfelt Creations.

Here, we have three small and simple cards. 

I got mere scraps of paper from this collection from someone on FB 
and I do love a good challenge! I used balloon dies, a drawer label, a border punch, and sentiment to piece together this card.

A cute birthday card for any good friend!

Just a bit of a hand cut banner, doodling with a Micron pen, 
and topped with a sentiment.

Using even less! Micron pen for the border, white ribbon, and balloon die cuts.
