R2Go Christmas Kit - Angel Espresso

The body of the angel is a triangle which measures 4" tall and 3" wide at the base.  The designer paper I used is by Anna Griffin.  A 12x12 sheet creates 21 bodies which is very efficient.

The wings is a heart die cut.  I used one from the Sizzix Heart #2 Framelit set and cut it from cherry red card stock. 

The head is a 1 inch circle punch from ivory card stock.  It is adhered to the card front just below where the wings and body meet.

I printed a greeting frame in Early Espresso on green marble text weight paper. It was trimmed close to the frame then adhered to the card front.  It allows easy alignment of the angel onto the card front. 

R2Go Christmas Kit - Angel

The body of the angel is a triangle which measures 4" tall and 3" wide at the base.  The designer paper I used is by Anna Griffin.  A 12x12 sheet creates 21 bodies which is very efficient.

The wings is a heart die cut.  I used one of the Sizzix Heart #2 Framelit set and cut it from cherry red card stock.  It was embossed with the Sizzix Softly Falling folder which provides a subtle texture to the wings.

The head is a 1 inch circle punch from ivory card stock.  It is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape. 

I added a greeting frame to the card front printed in Always Artichoke.  It allows easy alignment of the angel onto the card front. 

Christmas Card Challenge - February - Red / Hearts

The theme for my blog Christmas Card Challenge for February is Red and Hearts.

I chose an Always Artichoke card base which has some texture.  The glitter designer paper is from Sweet Dreams Holiday Avenue by My Mind`s Eye.  It was trimmed to leave a small border.  I cut a length of blue seam binding and placed it just left of center and taped the ends to the back of the designer paper.

I cut a large heart from red velvet paper with the Sizzix Hearts#2 thin lits. I cut some warm white card stock with the next size down.  I cut one from the smallest size, placed onto the white one and used a push pin to create a pierced heart shape.

I used a red crystal brad to hold the heart element onto the card front.

I designed the greeting and color printed it onto warm white card stock.   I fussy cut the greeting banner and adhered it to the card front with 3D foam tape.
