Docrafts/Papermania Noel Paper Tole Card

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing another Christmas Card that I made recently:

One of my favourite cards to make is paper-tole or diecut decoupage. If you are no stranger to my blog, you probably already know that fact. There is just something so satisfying about creating them.

I used a Papermania/Docrafts Card Kit that I had in my stash which I bought at a Craft Show here in Australia prior to COVID - so that's a while ago.

All the elements came already diecut so it was a simple process to just pop them out ready to put together. It was quite fiddly and getting the letters in NOEL perfectly lined up was certainly a challenge - but I love how the finished card turned out. I used 0.5mm Self-Adhesive Doublesided Foam Pads to put all the elements together and even so, the card has quite a bit of height so I was glad I was hand-delivering it to my sister-in-law and not posting it.

I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the red poinsettia, holly berries and the word NOEL - alas, not captured by the camera but it really added so much life to the card to have that bit of sparkle.

Finished size is: 6" x 6" or 150mm x 150mm.

I hope you all had a great Christmas. We had my brother and partner + adult daughter over for Christmas lunch. It was both happy and sad as it was the first Christmas without our Mum. The last couple of years of her life were very difficult because her dementia made her very combative - and even though she came for Christmas Day from her nursing home for a few hours, Mum could no longer communicate so she was there - but not really, if you know what I mean. My Dad passed away 30 years ago so Mum lived a long time without him - so I take comfort in knowing that they are back together again.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Jocelyn
