Welcome Blog friends.. YES, the new Bella Blvd collections are available and today I am all about the new Merry Mingle collection. I love Christmas and I do make all my Christmas cards. I have so many fun ideas for this collection and here are two of them.
First up we have a circle card. Yes, you can create different shaped cards and it is easy. Let me share with you all how I create this one.
Take a 8 1/2 x 11 white piece of cardstock and fold it in half from top to bottom. Use a 5 1/2 inch circle die and place it at the top of the folded cardstock. Now very important let the die hang off the cardstock slightly so we still have a fold in our circle when we die cut the 5 1/2 circle. So when you are done you should be able to open the circle just like a card with a fold at the top.
Now die cut the same 5 1/2 circle on the Merry Mingle Let's Get Ugly backer paper. Adhere this circle to your white card base using liquid glue.
Pick out the MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Ephemera Words. Let's put some foam tape on the back of Christmas and adhere it to the center of the circle.
Add some liquid glue to Merry and add it to the top of Christmas and at an angle.
Find the HAPPIEST SEASON OF ALL sentiment from the Ephemera Words and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it under Christmas.
How let's decorate it with some holly and berries and how about those fun ornaments and gifts from the Ephemera Icons. Adhere the holly and the ornament with liquid glue and the gift with foam tape.
For a little sparkle let's add some of the Very Merry Epoxy red circles to the berries.
Next up we have this card full of Christmas colors and patterns. I could not help myself I just had to use more then one of these fun patterns.
Create card from white cardstock A2 size.
Die cut or machine cut a rectangle that has three windows. This shape can be found from many die cut companies that offer die cuts. I die cut this 3 times on the It's A Party backer, Making Spirits Bright backer, Colorful Christmas backer and for the center window I used one of the Borders paper.
Adhere your background to your card using liquid glue.
Pick out this adorable Santa from the Ciao Chip board and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the center of the card.
Find the MERRY MERRY banner from the Ephemera Words and adhere it under this cute Santa using liquid glue.
We are not done with the Epherma Words yes, pick out the two strings of lights and trim down to size to fit your card. Add some foam tape to the back and adhere it the top and bottom of your card.
How easy are those two cards? Let all these cute designs in this Merry Mingle collection do all the hard work for you. This collection is bright and fun... don't miss it.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Have a festive cardmaking kind of day.
Too cute, love Santa's polka dot hat!
