Poinsettia Gift Box

Sorry to be late with my Amazing Paper Grace post ...too many things interfered with my spare time.  Or should I say "what spare time?"  Today, I made some time to put together a Poinsettia Gift Box with new dies from A Charming Christmas from Becca Feeken for Spellbinders.  Love her new Cinch and Go Poinsettia set!  I used the Charming Cottage to make my box. Check it out on Spellbinders website to see what a cute cottage it makes!  I also used Charming Christmas Words
to make a border around the box.

To make the border, I cut 2 of Noel words with frame that has edge of small holes.  It's cut from white cardstock with Adhesive Sheets applied to the front side.  Once it was cut, I covered the adhesive with glitter.  So easy!  

I cut lavender pieces with the border die only to layer under the words.  I fastened the border to the box before fully assembling it.  The box is 2 die cut pieces fastened at 2 edges.  I used double sided tape to fasten together and to fasten the border.  I fastened one side at a time, bending border at the corners as it was fastened.  You can see seam where I put two borders together. I finished putting the box together by securing other edge and flaps on bottom.

I added rectangles of white cardstock at top of box but it's not very visible in any of my photos.  The flowers are fastened over it.  

I made 2 lavender poinsettias, one large and one small.  Glitter stamens form the centers. I used hot glue to hold them together. For the leaves, I cut the largest poinsettia out of green paper and cut it apart.

The flowers are fastened to the box with hot glue. A bow of white seam binding is tucked under the flowers.  

 This pretty Poinsettia Gift Box can easily hold a gift of jewelry or candies or gift card!   

 If you have any questions, send me an email or leave a comment with your email so I can answer.

Thanks for visiting!

A Holly Girl Christmas Card

Sponsored:  As a designer on the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, I am provided with dies to create projects. I'm also a designer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and receive product to  use.

Today, my Holly Girl Christmas card features a NEW Amazing Paper Grace die set, Holly Jolly Christmas.  Love this set because it's so versatile!  I used all but the "Merry Christmas" die.

I chose the girl image from Authentique Vintage Christmas Collection.  I cut it with the smallest rectangle die in the set.  It's bordered with a frame cut from light green and layered over red cardstock. It's popped up slightly with Thin 3D Foam Squares. The holly frame was cut from the same paper.  It's layered over cream cardstock and then on red cardstock on a 5 x 7 inch card.  I added tiny holly pieces layered over the holly in the frame and accented with red dots for berries.  

I made a triple loop bow from cream seam binding and accented it with a pearl and gold paper fastener plus 3 tiny holly leaves. Two Adhesive Dots hold it in place.

I used E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to assemble the card. 

Thank you so much for visiting!

Introducing Amazing Paper Grace - A Charming Christmas | Blog Hop

Sponsored:  As a designer on the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team,, I am provided with dies to create projects. 

Tis the season to be jolly!  Even though it is only August, Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye.  I'm sure you are already listing out all the cards and gifts you're gonna make, right?  This year Becca of Amazing Paper Grace has designed a Christmas Collection - A Charming Christmas - for Spellbinders and we have a hop today to show you all the goodies and things we've made.  You can see the entire collection -----> HERE.

About A Charming Christmas Collection
Sweet little charms are so fun to play with, they can be dangled off of gifts, dangled off of cards and used in 3D Projects - they are just like the icing on the cake.  You will see that the "holiday" part of most of the sets in this collection have a Charm to personalize them - they are sized the same so you can mix and match them through your projects!  Here's the big deal: Outside of the charms and embellishments you add to make these dies Christmas, separately they can be used all year-round!! Yep, we're all budget shoppers too and want to get the most use out of a die!

Join us as each Creative Team member shares their creations with two dies from the collection.  Don't forget, each of us will be giving away an Amazing Paper Grace die pulled from the comments - one from each blog. The prize details are at the bottom of my post.  So, without further ado let me talk about the dies I get to introduce:

My Projects today:

First up is Yuletide Snowflakes

These are such intricate snowflake designs!  Love how delicate they are!  Each one is beautiful by itself or layered to make different snowflakes!  The large snowflake on my card is two layers as well as the white snowflake.  All my snowflakes were cut from white cardstock with Adhesive Sheets applied to top side.  Once cut, I removed the adhesive backing and sprinkled with glitter, some blue and some Prisma glitter.  My pictures really don't do justice to the sparkle of these snowflakes!

Second up is Christmas Postman

This was a fun stamp and die set for me to work with.  I sold and used many stamps in my years working at the Post Office.  I chose to use all 4 stamp images for my stamps.  They can easily be mixed and matched!  Each one was stamped with black ink on white cardstock.  Then I added background color around the image and touches of color on each image with markers.  The frame was cut from white cardstock with Adhesive Sheets on back.  My "postage stamps" are layered over Kraft cardstock with Merry Christmas repeatedly stamped over it.  I added the postmark cut from black cardstock with Adhesive Sheets applied to the back side.  That makes it easy to fasten to card.....simply peel adhesive backing and press in place!  I added a bit of twine like an old fashioned package.  My card is 5 x 7 inches. 

Availability:

These dies are available right now on the Spellbinders website ----- HERE
