STAMPlorations Christmas Release Day 3

Hello Crafty Friends!

STAMPlorations are doing a Christmas in August Release. They are releasing 6 stamp sets and 8 CUTplorations dies and, of course, are celebrating in style with a Blog Hop. Welcome to Day 3!

Today we are showcasing two sets designed by Shirley under her label The Bees Knees. They are called Christmas Elf for fun and cheeky cards and Three Kings, a modern traditional set I had the pleasure to work with.

As my DT project, I made a box card for lots of dimension, but folding flat for postage. Here it is:

I cut two pieces of card for the box and scored both ends, blended one with blue and cut the medium crazy stitched rectangle from the other one before cutting my frame using the large and medium rectangles. I die cut the stitched snow hills leaving tabs for attaching on two of them. I stamped coloured and fuzzy cut the kings, houses and star, blended my sand dunes, added some gold foil to the frame and assembled as seen finishing off with some gold Stickles.

Here both of Shirley's sets in full, Three Kings and Christmas Elf:

 

I finished my project off with a pocket and tag on the reverse side of my box card.
