Online Card Class Inlay Die Cutting technique -Christmas Quilt square cards

The Online Card class Day 2 Inlay Die Cutting technique. I've wanted to use this large die for a while and this was the perfect opportunity.

This is the card I made with the bottom right square.

The sentiment is a stencil with embossed paste. And then the border is by Creative Memories.

I had some scraps of the tree paper that I put on card bases to get them out of the way.

As I was going outside to take pictures and I thought, maybe these backgrounds would work with the quilt square.

They did look nice.

But now to choose. Or go into the stacks and tote of Christmas paper and maybe find the same paper. I can't help but think of the mess I would make. I'm going to hold off for now.

I had this square already cut out. The patterned paper is Houndstooth. I filled in the rest with scraps. Then I found these adhesive squares to place around the outside squares. They are by Recollections. 

This is the card I made with the brown square.

Online Card Class Day 1 Embossing Christmas card with rhinestones Card

I do not have 3D embossing folders. This folder is new so I used it. Another thing from the class that I used as inspiration is adding rhinestones to the center of the flowers and on the patterned paper by Provo Craft. is I haven't been put sequins of rhinestones on cards.

The rubber stamp says @Magenta made in Canada.

Christmas stuff out and I created these two cards too. That's what's taking me so long to get through the classes is the other products that I am discovering while making the card for the class.

Below, patterned paper by Carta Bella, and the center strip is a manufacturer strip. The center is a gift tag.

Strips of patterned paper are by Craft Smith (Top and Bottom) and Anna Griffin in the center.

Tree stamp by MyStamp Box was heat embossed with green powder.

Online Card Class-Tearing Technique for my Christmas Tree Card

This is an Online card class my Day 1, yes Day 1 Tearing technique card.

The example was a heart but I couldn't wrap my head around tearing a heart. Besides, I'm using this class to kick-start my Christmas cards. 

I do love the way this turned out. The presents are a Cricut cut that I've wanted to use for over 2 years. The only "good" thing about 2020 is how it gives me a time reference. It didn't happen last year which makes you think of 2019 in a whole different way, "Was it 2019?". So I digress.

My card uses a specialty cardstock by Provo Craft, circa 2003. Under the sticker, it says, "We inspire Creativity". Kind of neat. The sentiment is computer-generated.

My tears do not line up perfect but I'm happy to have the idea for the other 30 trees that I cut out. Idt this die is for a tree but it was the easiest thing available. I think it's a pennant. It was part of a RAC package.
