JustRite Christmas Wreath card

More Christmas Cards -JustRite PaperCrafts

While Christmas Day is over, I say let the Christmas season continue (not just because I have more cards to show - but that is certainly an added reason).    

Here is a card created using the JustRite dis and stamps to show their beauty and versatility as all-purpose products that can be adapted for the Christmas season.  

May you find your  Holiday Season to be filled with joy and peace and most of all, good health.

DIY Christmas Cards Featuring Authentique PART 2

 DIY  Christmas Cards Authentique -Part 2

This is the last set of projects I worked on for the Flying Unicorns.   This is Part 2 of 2.  You will find Part 1 on my blog right here.  

  The set was intended to be a bundle for sale at the Flying Unicorns.   While no longer for sale, I still decided to show my projects.  I worked too long on them to not share.  And I think they are lovely.  

 I do have some DIY tips and I do show the basics on how I created these cards, but not the step-by-step in it's entirety.    These are pretty easy cards and I think the tips are really all one needs to get the gist.  

 I am sad to see it be done and yet joyful for the experience and the magical carpet ride the Unicorns and owner, Alda Stevens , provided me over the last few years.  Certainly years of growth and stretching. 

Alda Stevens passed away in the beginning of December.  Her departure from this world leaves a void in the crafting world and in my heart and in many hearts.  

May Alda Stevens and her sparkly pink Unicorn rest peacefully forevermore.

Authentique Tidings Poinsettia Card

The last card sample for this Authentique Tidings bundle is a beautiful poinsettia card.  Scroll down for the base layout of the card. The embellishments on the card are pretty easy to replicate.  

This is the base of the card.  A few layers separated by a strip of ribbon.  

Products for this card:

Petaloo Textured Burlap Picks in Pistachio 1204214
Authentique Tidings Collection  6x6
Petaloo Flora Doodels mini-Delphiniums Red Black Mix 1300-191
Pearl Gems or crystals or such
Pine Punches
Tim Holtz Alterations Holly Greens Thinlits
Red Plaid ribbon
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut
Kraft pre-folded Card 5inx6.5in

 There's not a lot to this card, but I thought I'd share the "guts" of the project to see how the base is created.   I like cutting the center from the doily to create a  wreath-like effect.  

Time to embellish  and I decided that I'd add my own twists to the embellies I had planned on using. The crystal holly leaves (Kaiserkraft Holly Silver Self Adhesive Rhinestone Holly) were great to add on top of darker paper.  

Use the custom adapted embellishments to enrich the floral cluster.  

And here is the resulting wreath on the card. 

Have a very Merry Christmas and Holiday season.

DIY Home Decor Wreath with Petaloo

DIY Festive Wreath with Instructions

I'm here here today continuing the holiday and Christmas festivities right up to the last moment.  Need to whip up a last minute gift?   This is super easy and one of those projects that looks like it took forever in "fussy land" to create.  Let that just be our little secret. 

Scroll down and see my DIY instructions on how to turn Floracraft products , a FloraCraft Styrofoam Wreath and some  gorgeous Petaloo flowers into fun, fast, fab home decor.  

Quick DIY Instructions: 

Step 1.  I started the project with some fun products from FloraCraft  - specifically FloraCraft Burlap Garland   (which is a "must have" staple in my craft room)  and a  FloraCraft 6" Styrofoam Wreath .  

Step 2.  I wrapped the foam with the burlap garland and secured it with hemp cording.  Adding the cording was a second thought actually after the project was well underway.  I realized that glue and straight pins were not going to keep my burlap in place so I decided to wrap the wreath in cording.  

Step 3.  This is how it turned out before I started to embellish.   

Step 4.  Embellish with your choice of gorgeous Petaloo flowers.  While I chose Christmas themed embellishments (because I needed a gift), imagine how gorgeous this would look with flowers for any occasion or any season.  Give it a nautical look with some red glitter star picks, white ruffled roses and blue velvet hydrangea accents...or a beautiful spring feel with purple canvas flowers dotted with yellow roses.   

Here is a close up of the flowers I chose:  

Petaloo Flowers - Regal Velvet Poinsettia - Red - RS5009-002/4

Petaloo Flowers - Pine Pick w/Cones and Berries - RS1146-000/6

Petaloo Vintage Velvet Holly Leaves RS1164-001/6 

Thanks for stopping here and have a wonderful Christmas and Holiday season.
