I created a 12x12 box of cards, filled with twelve cards! Each card contains a stamped image from the Graphic 45 The Twelve Days of Christmas stamp set, and each set of three cards showcases a different technique! This project was taught by Graphic 45 at various workshops and trade shows. Now, it is available for you, complete with printable project sheets!
Yesterday, I shared the first six cards. Click HERE to see. On December 16th I will share the card box - click HERE. But, that is not all. I will be giving away this prize pack to one lucky winner!! This prze pack is worth OVER $100 Retail. And it contains all three of my - hard to find - wood mount Christmas stamps!
Leave a comment on any one of the posts from December 14th through December 20th (I will have some EXTRA G45 projects to share the rest of the week!), and I will draw a RANDOM winner. Leave a comment EVERY day to increase your chances! What a fantastic Christmas present for yourself!
My assignment for this card set was to: use Graphic 45 papers as each card base, use The Twelve Days of Christmas stamp set, and incorporate a different technique into each set of three cards. Oh, yes, and to keep the retail cost below $50! Easy, right?! {grin}
Now, on to...Swimming Swans, Milk Maids, and Dancing Ladies!
The technique for this set of three cards was using glitter techniques. I glittered the chipboard tag and some of the paper circles for this card. So sparkly.
I stamped the image and then glittered the entire circle!
I added a sheet of adhesive to a strip of paper, and then I place gold stickers to the edges. I sprinkled red glitter over the strip of paper to glitter "between" the gold areas. Messy, but fun!
Now, on to...Lords, Pipers, and Drummers!
The technique for this set of three cards was to create flowers from the Graphic 45 Cardstock Flower sheets. There are lots of flowers per pack, and they make amazing flowers!
See the Project Sheet link below for step-by-step directions for making the flowers in this card set.
I created a grouping of flowers and tags for this last card.
Come back tomorrow to see the altered card box!
ETA: For those of you wishing for this set to decorate your home...alas, they are with Graphic 45...somewhere. If I had them, I would totally give them away! As for the other set of 12 that I shared already...THOSE are staying RIGHT HERE, BABY!

Wish you were here to join me. Hugs!

ReplyDeleteYou do beautiful work - you use a couple techniques that i have not mastered, such as the wrinkled edges on this patterned paper (i feel OCD and have to flatten them... lol), and my stamp usage is minimal for some unknown (to me) reason. But your cards set up seems very do-able even for the likes of me :)
