Hello again! Enza here, and I’m back today to share two Christmas cards featuring several Crafty Meraki products. I know it may be too early for some people; summer has barely started – at least in my neck of the woods – but I truly enjoy creating projects for the holiday season. It’s fun, and it motivates me to go through my stash and figure out what other products I may want to purchase 😉
I feel that I need to preface by saying that coloring is not my forte. I struggle with shading, and nothing ever looks good enough to me. That said, it is true that we are our worst critics, so I keep trying, and one of my cards today includes pieces that I colored using alcohol markers.
I started by stamping some foliage and berries from the Evergreen Elegance Stamp Set with Altenew Clear Embossing Ink. I then sprinkled Altenew Antique Gold Embossing Powder on the images and embossed them using a heat tool. I knew I wanted to make sure I stayed in the lines when coloring, so this worked out perfectly as the melted embossing powder created a subtle edge around the images. Once I had all my pieces ready, I used Altenew Alcohol Markers to color them. Here are the colors: Forest Glades, Olive, and Moss for the leaves; Crimson, Velvet, and Ruby Red for the berries. I think they came out okay.
Before arranging the foliage in a wreath shape, I prepared the background. I embossed an A2 panel of Neenah Solar White 110 lbs cardstock with the Sizzix Tim Holtz Cracked Embossing Folder. I then ink-blended the whole panel with Distress Oxide in Antique Linen to achieve a vintage-y look, and gently glided Distress Oxide in Walnut Stain over the top to make the cracked wood stand out.
A shaped card is always fun, so I used nested arch dies from my stash to die cut the “wooden” panel, a second panel from brown cardstock to mat the first one, and then the card base. Once everything was adhered together, I arranged the foliage and berries directly on the card, using foam dots to give the wreath dimension and a more realistic look.
I finished the card with a sentiment from the EAP - Festive Flora Wreath, which I cut with the coordinating dies before adhering it to my card with foam dots.
The second card is very simple and perfect for mass production.
I again used the Sizzix Tim Holtz Cracked Embossing Folder to emboss an A2 panel of Bazzill cardstock in Pomegranate to adhere to the card base. You can’t see much of it, but it adds a subtle texture and more interest to the card. The same concept was used for the patterned paper that went on top. I feel the geometric design balances the softness and curvy lines of the wreath really well.
After preparing the base, I glued a piece of white cardstock behind the center of the wreath to create more contrast with the background and adhered it toward the left side of the prepared base for more interest.
I finished the card with a sentiment from the EAP - Festive Flora Wreath. Instead of using foam dots to give it dimension, I cut the shape of the sentiments several times from white cardstock and glued it together for a more sturdy look. Clear gems added sparkle and a festive touch to the card.
I hope you found inspiration in these cards today. Thank you for stopping by!

I’m still in shock and can’t believe I was able to recover my lost Bitcoin. I had invested a significant amount of money in BTC back in 2017. but unfortunately, I lost access to my wallet due to a combination of factors, including a forgotten password and a corrupted wallet file.
I had tried everything to recover my BTC, from using password recovery tools to seeking help from online forums and communities. However, nothing seemed to work, and I had almost given up hope.
That was when I stumbled upon a professional BTC recovery service called TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY. I was skeptical at first. but after reading reviews and testimonials from other satisfied customers. I decided to give it a try.
The recovery process was surprisingly smooth and efficient. The team at the recovery service was highly professional and communicative, keeping me updated every step of the way. They used advanced techniques and tools to recover my wallet and private keys, and within a few days, I had access to my BTC again.
I was able to recover approximately 90% of my lost BTC, which was a huge relief. I had thought that my investment was gone forever, but thanks to the recovery service, I was able to recover a significant portion of it.
I would highly recommend TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY to anyone who has lost access to their BTC. Their expertise and professionalism are unparalleled, and they truly care about their customers. I’m grateful for their help and would not hesitate to use their services again if needed.

Hello, Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $265,000 of my investment capital, and they kept on requesting extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, and I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches how scammed victims can recover their funds, I contacted a recovery company known as SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY . They are such a very good company as they are so reliable, transparent, skilled and responsive. I contacted them and I got feedback after some hours as I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover 80% of my money back. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it with the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Anyways, just incase you are going through such plight, do not hesitate to reach them via;
