My first card features the Shapeabilities Santa Claus Layering Set Etched Dies 3D Holiday Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken which is a set of five dies. The three circular dies layer perfect together to create this beautiful scene. I cut a circle directly into the the card front. Behind the circle I added the die cut Santa and tree. Behind Santa is the gold foil rays, then a layer of clear acetate, then sequins, and then the card back.
Here's a closer look at the the layers. The flower is created with Shapeabilities Cinch and Go V Etched Dies Vintage Treasures by Becca Feeken, a set of three dies that includes four different size flowers, a center and two leaf designs. I cut flower and leaves from felt and added a gold enamel dot to the center of the flower.
My next project is created with the Shapeabilities Grand Snow Globe Etched Dies 3D Holiday Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken, a set of eight dies to create a circular shaped multi-layered card. This is such a creative die set! The card is really a gift that can be displayed throughout the holiday season.
The card has five layers. The front is cut from white cardstock and I used a blender brush to blend the colors of ink. The next layer is the sentiment. You can see how I incorporated a couple of the dies from the Santa Claus Layering Set Etched Dies 3D Die I used above. I also added a panel where I attached flowers to the edges. The layers are inserted into slots on the side of the card.
