So, today I'm excited to be sharing with you my Winter Wishes & Snowflake Kisses Card which features dies from Joset Designs and stamps from the Planner Essentials Collection. This card is perfect to create for your Christmas Cards this year. You'll want to read below to learn how to recreate my Winter Wishes & Snowflake Kisses Card at home.

To start, die cut the 3" Indented Stitched Rectangle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink over the entire surface of the rectangle. Spritz the rectangle with water. Dry the rectangle with a heat tool.

Next, you'll need the splat dot stamp from the Background Stamps 2 set. Apply Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink to the stamp and stamp randomly on the rectangle. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp as desired. Dry the rectangle piece.

From the same Background Stamps 2, you'll need the script stamp. Apply Emboss It Ink to the script stamp and stamp randomly onto the rectangle. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed as stamp on the rectangle as desired. Sprinkle Molten Dimensions - Polished Silver Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the rectangle. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut a 3/4" Diagonal Stitched Fishtails out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Cut the fishtail down to 2 1/2". Using a blending tool with foam, blend Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink over the entire surface of the fishtail. Spritz the fishtail with water. Dry the fishtail with a heat tool. Apply Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink to the winter wishes sentiment from the Joyful Wishes stamp set. Distress the edges of the fishtail. Ink the edges of the fishtail using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut a 3 1/2" Indented Stitched Rectangle out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Distress the edges of the rectangles. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Choose one of the snowflakes from the Snowflakes die. Die cut the chosen snowflake twice out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Cut one snowflake so that it fits in the top right section of the 3 1/2" Indented Stitched Fishtail. Cut the other snowflake in half. Cut one of the halves of the snowflakes so that it fits in the bottom portion of the 3 1/2" rectangle.

Foam square the 3" rectangle to the 3 1/2" rectangle.

Adhere the three snowflakes onto the 3" rectangle.

Adhere the winter wishes sentiment to the bottom right portion of the rectangles.

Beautiful Fall Altered Home Decor Frame

Fall is definitely in the air here on the west coast of Canada and to be honest, I'm really not upset that Fall has finally arrived. Don't get me wrong, I do love Summer, but there is something about Fall when you can consume tea all the time as well as wear scarves and not have people giving you crazy looks. 

So to kick off the start of fall, I created this vintage Beautiful Fall Altered Home Decor Frame for my first project for Xyron's Maker Team. I'm thrilled to be apart of this talented team and have been loving using some of the Xyron products in my projects. So grab your favourite Fall beverage and learn how to recreate my Beautiful Fall Altered Home Decor Frame at home.

To start, you'll need to cut a an oval out of one of the patterned papers from the Autumn Sunset Collection from Prima Marketing. Use Xyron Tape Runner and run the adhesive along the edges of the oval.

Adhere the oval to the inside of the frame.

Die cut a 3 3/4" Stitched Oval out of the same collection of patterned papers. Distress the edges of the stitched oval. Ink the edges of the stitched oval using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.  Run the 3 3/4" stitched oval through Xyron Creative Station Lite.

Adhere the stitched oval to the middle of the oval that is adhered to the frame.

Die cut the 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" Diagonal Stitched Fishtails out of the same collection of patterned papers. Distress the edges of the fishtails. Ink the edges of the fishtails using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.  Run both fishtails through Xyron Creative Station Lite.

Adhere the 1 1/4" fishtail to the 1 1/2" fishtail. Adhere the 1 1/2" fishtail to the middle of the 3 3/4" stitched oval.

Cut a piece of the Ephemera from the Autumn Sunset Collection into three pieces. Distress the edges of the two pieces. Ink the edges of the two pieces using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Run two of the pieces through Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker. 

Adhere the larger of the two pieces of ephemera to the left hand side of the 3 3/4" stitched oval. Adhere the smaller piece of the ephemera 1/4" from the top of the fishtails.

From the cut apart card paper from the Autumn Sunset Collection, fussy cut one of the cards out and die cut a 2 1/2" Stitched Oval out of another card. Distress the edges of the stitched oval and fussy cut card. Ink the edges of the stitched oval and fussy cut card using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Run the stitched oval and fussy cut card through Xyron Creative Station Lite.

Adhere the fussy cut card to the middle of the fishtails. Adhere the 2 1/2" stitched oval to the middle of the fussy cut card.

Fussy cut the wreath from the same card cut apart paper. Ink the edges of the wreath using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Use Xyron Tape Runner to adhere the wreath to the middle of the 2 1/2" stitched oval.
