A Christmas Pyramid Card by Donna

Hi all,

I am loving the The Gift of Giving Collection Pack - CO727895

I looked at the paper and thought The Gift of Giving Papers 5 - CO727901

would be perfect for a Pyramid card and I love how it turned out.

Cut three pieces of white cardstock at 4 inches x 4 inches.

Cut two pieces of red cardstock at 3 3/4 inches x 3 3/4 inches, cut on the diagonal

Cut two pieces of The Gift of Giving Papers 5 - CO727901 at 3 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches and cut on the diagonal

Cut one piece of red cardstock at 1 1/2 in square, cut on the diagonal

Cut one piece of The Gift of Giving Papers 5 - CO727901 at 1 1/4 inch square and cut on the diagonal

Score all three squares on the diagonal and adhere them as shown. I put a piece of double sided tape in the middle of the top two as shown then add glue as shown. Don't go down to the bottom as you will see in the next photo.

Place the third square on the glue as shown and press down. You can see it forms a triangle.

For the back of the card I cut a strip from papers 04 and scored this in half. Adhere it to the join to cover.

The front covered.

I stamped the Poinsettia Bloom Mini Die - CO727925 and also stamped two greetings for people to write their message.

I added two Velcro dots to close the card.

The Gift of Giving Diecut Ephemera Set - CO727909

I think it is so pretty.

The back of the card. How cute is that bow.

The side which I place a envelope with 3D foam tape and placed a gorgeous

Candy Cane Mini Die - CO727914 in gold behind it. Love that.

I hope I have inspired you

to create glorious things
Hugs

Two Cards using Alcohol Inks - The Gift of Giving by Donna

Hi all,

I love the alcohol inks from Couture Creations, so vibrant and so much fun to work with and one of my favourite mediums to work with...

My darlin hubby loves these two cards and suggested I make more for sending out this year..

(high praise from him indeed)..

I started out with a collection of colours and of course the blending solution..

I created assorted cards fronts.

I adhered it inside a three two fold panel card and for the green one placed a envelope bunch using 3D Foam tape and a candy cane cut out in gold behind it..

I die cut the Peace On Earth twice and adhered together to make it a little firmer.

I did the same as the green card but die cut the Holly Border twice and with the Ephemera Poinsettia I turned it over and shaped it with a ball tool to give it some shape and dimension with 3D foam tape.

A little sparkle and gloss and it was finished with a Merry Christmas die cut placed in the middle of the panel.. A little bit of gloss and glitz just finished it off nicely.
