Items used in this project include.
Poppy Crafts Merry Christmas script die (no longer avaiable)
I decided to create a wreath card and experiment with foiling using the double sided adhesive paper from Universal Crafts for one card. I had a idea about how I wanted to do this but did some quick research to see if anyone had used foil the way I was thinking and found this video from Jennifer McGuire, she has 5 ways she uses it and the one using adhesive paper was exactly what I was thinking about so it was good to know it could work before I started playing with the technique.
I keep forgetting to order a replacement bone folder (mine went missing a few months ago) so I had to use a brayer for this technique and I got a kind of grungy foil look that I really love.
I then experimented with creating a watercolour background and paper background for my card.
For the second card I went with a design that uses up paper scraps. I made another version of this card a few years ago for another children's card making class. I do not remember where I got the inspiration from as it was so long ago but I do love this technique for creating a quick card that uses up your scrap stash.
I then decided a trifold step card would be cool. To make it easier I used a cut file and my Silhouette Curio to cut the base and then I just decorated it with Simple Vintage Christmas paper and chipboard stickers from Simple Stories. I love the results.
Inspired by some of the papers while making this card I created 2 more pages in my Childhood Christmas Memories album, you can find the process video for them here.
I love how the kids took what I showed them and created these cute cards.
