Elle's Studio: CAS Christmas Cards with NEW Crafting Die Sets

 Hi Friends! 

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio awesomeness!

Today I am sharing the most beautiful CAS Christmas Cards! 

And, the best part? 

They're super quick & easy to re-create! And, thanks to the all new Elle's Studio Steel Crafting Dies you'll be able to whip them up in a matter of minutes! Let me tell you, these new Die Sets are serious game changers!  

But enough chatter, here's the clean & simple cards for you...

Wow! Aren't they stunning?! Clean And Simple Christmas Cards for the win!  

Elle's Studio Supplies: Layered Card Metal Die, Pocket Frame & Flip Up Metal Die, Very Merry Chipboard Stickers, Document December 2020 Kit, Fa La La 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack, Christmas Basics 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack, & Wonder Wood Veneer Set. 

Other Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock - Avalanche (2 sheets), Crystals, Button & Twine. 

To create these cards, I simply trimmed my first sheet of cardstock into two  5" x 8" pieces, scored and folded at the 4" mark to create to white card bases. For my two larger cards, I trimmed the cardstock into two 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"  pieces, and then scored and folded at the 4 1/4" mark.

Elle's Studio suggests that you, 

"Use the dies to cut your layers, then add your sentiment and you have a beautiful card created in no time! You could also use this die to create shaker cards, add wood veneer or stamped sentiments, and MORE!"

And that's exactly how I made my sweet and simple cards! 

No fancy tricks, or time wasting with measurements - those amazing Steel Craft Dies did all the hard work for me!

The fabulous Layered Card Metal Die made cutting a mix of pattern paper layers for my cards a dream! The dies cut so quickly, and with such precision! Between you & me, I'm partial to the faux stitched metal dies - no more machine stitching, but the same authentic look! Yay! Time (& maybe even a lil patience) saving at it's best! Thankyou, Elle! 

I just loved the combination of the Fa La La and Christmas Basics 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack papers together, and when layered with the Document December 2020 Kit note cards - well, I think the results speak for themselves! SO pretty!  

Here's a closer look at all my CAS Christmas Cards....

The super cute Pocket, Frame & Flip Up Metal Die was perfect for adding tabs to my slightly larger cards, and those polaroid style frames to my smaller ones. 

To add more interest, I foam mounted a couple of my card layers, and then added a few carefully chosen embellishments for finishing touches. I loved the pink and red cards, but I couldn't resist a lil Christmas green too...

The same CAS cards, just a mint and forest green color palette. So elegant! 

Doesn't that faux stitching look amazing?! And let's no forget that scallop die - so intricate & yet it still cut through the paper like butter! LOVE!

Very crisp & elegant for Christmas!

So what are you waiting for? Grab yourself the Layered Card Metal Die, Pocket, Frame & Flip Up Metal Die & Document December products from the Elle's Studio shop HERE, and make one, or several Christmas cards in a matter of minutes! Happy Crafting & Happy Holidays!

Elle's Studio: Document December Album Preparation

 Hi Friends! 

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio inspiration!

Can you believe it's already November?! Where has this year gone? 

Time to start prepping our Elle's Studio Document December albums! 

Last year I used this super cute 4 x 4inch album which I really loved,

 Except, sometimes I found myself wanting just a bit more space to document the story. 

So, this year I'm opting for a larger 6.5 x 9inch album (Citrus Twist Kits: Life Crafted Album) so that I can have a mix of pockets, TN pages and even mini scrapbook pages! 

To help me prepare for the upcoming Season, I have already downloaded and printed the 

Elle's Studio: Document December Prompts Printable

 and placed it inside my album cover to help keep me inspired! 

This is such a helpful lil printable, and best of all, you can get pick one up in the Document December section of the shop for FREE here! 

I've also printed a few of the Merry November 2020 Printables to include in this year's album too! Having printed a few note cards and base pages will really help me to save time in putting my album together during the Festive season! 

SO cute already! Love it!

And because I just couldn't resist putting a few pretties together, 

here's a sneaky peek at my opening page too...

LOVE!!!

You'll spy that I'm really channeling the pink and red again this year, so needless to say my album preparation has also included color sorting my supplies! It's bound to save me time, right?

I hope my sneaky peek has inspired you to get thinking and preparing your DD 2020 album! 

Haven't got your supplies organized yet?
