Gilded Angels Christmas Card

November 28, 2021

The Gilded Angels Christmas Card was create using these gorgeous freebies located here: https://wingsofwhimsy.wordpress.com/2013/11/24/gilded-christmas-cherubs-free-printables/ I instantly feel in love with them and originally had planned to create something in neutral tones, but then the burgundy and gold foil paper said “try me”!

After placing the burgundy foil paper on the card base, I layered another piece of paper. Christmas hymnal music. I printed digital tag was then placed on top of the hymnal paper, followed by some gold embossed paper. The angel image was center on top of that. A tea stained tag was added to the left. A foam snowflake was double layered and Gold German scrap border was added to the bottom.

Christmas Wishes Card and Tags

November 16, 2021

For this project I made two versions. One is a set of tags and the other a card featuring the tag center stage. I really loved how this project turned out!

Tags: The tags were made by covering cardstock tags which measured 2.5 by 4.5 inches with hymnal sheets. I layered some sheer vintage fabric in a square and a digital tag that was printed underneath the angel image. The angel image is 2.5 inches tall by 1 3/4 inches wide. I used fabric tac to secure these down.

Next, I placed silver Stickles (Ranger) along the edge of the angel image. I set this aside to dry for a few hours. Once dry, I tied a little bit of vintage seam binding through the top of tag. A little snowflake punch from white sparkly paper adorns the corner and a mother of pearl button in the middle. I printed “Christmas Wishes” on my computer and added the text underneath.

Card: The card was made by layering paper on to a white 5 inch by 6.5 inch cardstock card base. I started with a piece of tea stained manila envelope paper. This was followed by a textured paper that I cut a little bit smaller. The third piece of paper is watercolor paper that had been run through my Sizzix with one of my embossed “Bubble” folders. I torn the edges very carefully before gluing down. The last piece of paper is a handmade mulberry paper. By layering the papers in different sizes and textures it gives a very pleasing effect.

The last step was adding the tag. I used natural colored hemp cording for the top and ran Fabric Tac glue to set it up.

Give Thanks Stitched Card

November 11, 2021

My card today is all neutral tones. I really love how it plays off the beautiful antique image. I layered textured cardstock, pattern paper, watercolor paper that I tore edges on (I also ran through my embossing folder.)

A digital tag was printed and the vintage image layered on top. I then took it to my sewing machine and did two different stitches on it. The bit of vintage ruffled lace I glued down using Fabric Tac. A tea stained tag was placed on with a leaf punch in book text. A scripture verse from an Old Hymnal and mother of pearl buttons were glued down as well.

I Will Give Thanks Gothic Arch

November 8, 2021

This Gothic Arch has a “Thankful” theme. I used a variety of pattern papers for the background and some song hymnal. The collage image I mounted to butterfly wings and tucked a digital postcard that was printed beneath.

I printed a Bible verse:

“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” Psalm 9.1

and cut the words into strips gluing along the right side. I chalked the white paper. A bit of lace was glued to the bottom and three Mother of Pearl buttons were added. Along the sides I made little dots of gold stickles. I punched 3 colorful leaves from cardstock and ran some gold stickles on the top.
