But it's "NOT" Christmas Blog Hop


Don't you just love a die that does double duty?  We thought so!  Today we're are having a blog hop to show you how the dies in The Charming Christmas Collection can be used year round; after all, it's not Christmas.  No worries, Christmas is coming and we'll press A Charming Christmas back into service this year but in the meantime, please join us for some year-round inspiration and a giveaway at the bottom of the post.

It's Not Christmas but About A Charming Christmas

Becca designed A Charming Christmas with lovely romantic frames and shapes and with charms.  Leave the charms in the package and you have a lovely 'everyday' die that is begging to be used all year round.  Hop around with us as we reintroduce you to the non-Christmas side of A Charming Christmas.

****The die I'm showing today is the Sentimental Christmas and Die Set.



I decided to go a completely different way with my card and use a paper from Kaisercraft with gorgeous aqua and purple shades and combine it with aqua foil and silver.   For my Christmas die i cut it out of the purple cardstock and cut a shadow in aqua to match the matting in the layers under the foiled plate.  Then i cut out that gorgeous scrolled pieced and carefully glued that in place.  The thank you sentiment is from Elegant Occasion Sentiments and i used silver foil on it to match the matting and placed it in the center of the piece.  Then i added lots of flowers that you would see in a fairy garden and attached those at the bottom under the sentiment. 



I hope that all of you have had a chance to try using some of the glimmer foils.  It really beautiful and is a fun and easy way to create cards.  I love that you can mix so many of these with your existing dies and since there are so many color choices in the foils it makes it that much for fun to play with.   


Paper: Kaisercraft Fairies paper collection
Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

  17. Wow, Teresa, I used this die last Christmas and I honestly can't decide if I love the gorgeous hues of aqua & purple or green & red better. Best news, I don't need to decide because you just opened up my mind to new possibilities! Thank you for this great card.
