Die Cut Divas in December - Winter or Christmas!

Hi all - you're probably surprised to see me posting with Die Cut Divas today but we're doing a December schedule where we'll post to start the challenge and then do a mid-month reminder post on the 15th. I might still do my normal day on the 21st - depends on how the month goes... 

Our December Die Cut Divas Challenge theme is Christmas/Winter so we hope it helps you get those last minute cards done!


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Spellbinders A2 card; Paper Studio green
Stamps w/dies - Waffle Flower Elegant Christmas 2
(dies HERE)
Stencils w/dies - Waffle Flower Fa La La Llama
Dies - Waffle Flower Dashed Snowflake Panel Die
Other - Various inks; foam tape; Stickles;
Glossy Accents; SSS Starshine dots;
Creatology googly eyes

Waffle Flower has sponsored the Divas this month and donated a $15 gift card to their store. Thanks Waffle Flower!! 


I couldn't resist the adorable WF llama die/stencil set which I found at my fave local store Anchor Paper. They offered 20% off the entire purchase for their Black Friday event. Woo Hoo - I picked up "a few" things.

Simply stenciled the llama, then die cut the outline and face details. Assembled and added googly eyes, glossy accents and Stickles. Stamped and die cut the sentiment. Die cut the wonderful WF snowflake background panel & adhered to an A2 card. Added the llama and sentiment with foam tape.

I'm adding my card to Just Us Girls #803 where they're doing Anything Goes with Stencils. I'll also add to Darnell's December NBUS Challenge #81 since my llama set got first play here.

For a bonus, I went with another stencil, also picked up locally. This time it's a postage collage set called Snowy.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio A2 card & glitter cardstock
Stamps w/dies - Waffle Flower Elegant Christmas 2
(dies HERE)
Stamps - Waffle Flower Postage Collage
Dies - Waffle Flower Postage Collage
Stencils - Waffle Flower Postage Collage Snowy
Other - Various inks

While I love the WF postage collage series, I'm not that great at aligning these multiple step collage stencils. Oh well, I made it work! In future, I plan to use a piece of card stock the exact size of the stencil. Then I don't have to try to see the etched lines! 

Stenciled, then die cut the collage. Matted onto glitter cardstock, then to an A2 card. A different sentiment from the same stamp set as above finished the card. I did two while I was at it!

I hope you'll join us at Die Cut Divas this month as you prepare for the holidays! Thanks for visiting and happy crafting!

Gorgeous cards Linda. I LOVE both the Poinsettia stencil and the Postage Collage stencil sets. I don't have this one but have a few of the others!

That llama packs quite the punch! And your collage postage card is a wonderful winter card!

That llama is so much fun, Linda. My daughter just bought an ugly sweater with a similar llama on it. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

That llama is so darn cute and fun! I love the red robins in your second card and the wonderful colors you used.
