Christmas in July - Tiding & Trimmings

This month at Belair Creative Cards we will be making 2 cards featuring the products from the Tidings of Christmas Suite. 

My first card is a CASE and was inspired by Narelle Farrugia.  She is an amazingly talented demonstrator and you can see her original card here. 

The base card is basic white, the first layer is misty moonlight and then basic white which is embossed with a new folder called Star-Crossed from the upcoming mini catalogue.   The scalloped rectangle is cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the leaf is from the Artistic Dies.  The star and stocking are from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set and coloured with pool party and misty moonlight.

 

My second card features the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper.  This paper has beautiful designs and is double sided with traditional red and greens on some sheets and a hint of sahara sand and misty moonlight on others.  A very versatile dsp for those who prefer traditional colours for their cards.  The star is cut from the "Christmas Trimmings" coordinating dies from the Tidings of Christmas Suite.  Sentiment is from For Unto Us.

Belair Creative Cards May 2021

 Belair Creative Cards this month used the Artistically Inked stamp set to create our cards this month. 

On the first card I stamped the large background stamp on a layer in polished pink and pale papaya.  I then ran the layer through the painted texture embossing folder.  I then incorporated Gilded Leafing on the veins of the embossed creases.  I used a retired 2 way glue pen to brush the edges and gilded the edges of both layers.  The large flower is stamped in polished pink and the small flower is inked in pale papaya, leaves were soft succulent.

The second card is a horizontal easel card.  I got the inspiration from a fellow demonstrator, Kelly Acheson.  You can view her tutorial here.  

The pale papaya panel is cut using the scalloped contours dies. The flowers from the Artistically Inked stamp set were stamped then cut out using the Artistic dies.  The intricate flower then was layered on top of the stamped flowers.  The panels underneath were stamped using the same techniques as above on my first card.
