Hi there friends in the crafting world, Carolyn here to share a couple Christmas cards I recently made... But first the TIP:   Create your Christmas cards ahead of time, saves on the stress.   Christmas Village Church from here. The image was stamped on white card stock, and than die cut with a oval die.  Each scallop on the mat I applied Liquid Pearls and attached a ribbon on bottom.  Place it over a snow-flaked embossed mat and all attached to white card stock base. Sentiment from Stampin! Up Teeny Tiny Words.  Glitter glue applied to roof of the church; and I used Wink of Stella glitter pens to color in the stained glass window, plus the windows.  Door is also colored in with Wink of Stella glitter pen.   Photo download from a search on Internet that I printed out, and applied glitter/stickles to areas in photo that had glittered.  And created a easel card using my Silhouette Cameo.  I believe the photo was printed out and than cut out with my Brother&

Hello Friends ! Annette here for the  Scrapbook Blessings Club   to share with you Monday's Project "Dies". Firstly: My Tip Of The Day Before removing Die once it has been cut, with a large Pin,  push all of the perforated cut pieces out of the Die before removing the actual Bow from the Die itself. I have found this process much easier rather than taking the Bow from the Die and trying to remove the little cut outs afterwards. Now onto my Tutorial: At this point I would just like to mention that these particular Dies are my most favourite of all Dies. I use these Dies on a constant regular basis, its very classy and adds loads of glamour to any projects. The Dies I am using today are the Sue Wilson Bow Dies  Finishing Touches ~ (Classic 3D Bow) and Finishing Touches ~ (Lattice 3D Bow)     Using Kaisercraft Cardstock in two contrasting colours I have chosen the small and large Bow Dies from both designs as well as the li
