Ode to Joy Christmas Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

Hot July is a good month to stay in my craft room and work on more Christmas projects! There are several projects that I want to do, but I have problem choosing which one to make first! 

Dreaming Tree SVG - Ode to Joy card. The finished size of this card measures 5.7" high x 6.9" wide x 1.5" depth. I have had this file for awhile. I am glad that I chose it because I really like the results! I enjoy working with Dreaming Tree 3D SVG files. Always beautiful projects!

 

Papers include Recollections - red, Colorbok - white, Craft Smith Embossed - green tree. Patterned papers are from scrap sash. The star is cut from Cricut Gold Foil Poster Board. I could not find anything in 25 Christmas Pads that I wanted to use behind the windows. As a crafter, I make do with what I can find. The two glittered panels were cut from an older Christmas card. Perfect! Glad I saved that one! HA

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders:

I added Recollections flowers on the white garland, then added a Recollection pearl to each flower. Pearls are added to the gift packages. Gold Stickles added to holly berrries.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Bow Basket

 Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have seen so many pretty versions of this 3D basket. With Christmas still on my mind, I chose to make a Christmas themed basket. Perfect size for candy, cookies, or small gifts.

The Bow Basket is part of Dreaming Tree SVG Give a Gift Bundle that I purchased recently. I knew when I saw the basket, it would be my first project to do from the set. Finished size measures 3" H x 7" W x 3.5"D. I used the Paper Studio Yuletide Joy Paper pad. Love mixing the pretty patterned and plaid papers together.

Cuttlebug:
Anna Griffin Regal Braid  embossing folder on the red patterned paper on sides of the basket. I used the border folder from the same set to emboss the handle.

Paper Studio Spare Parts Brads - The two brads have Christmas trees on then.

I enjoyed making this basket! With a change of papers, the basket can be used for many occasions. Thanks for your views and comments!
