Joy ......


A snowflake Christmas Card ....

The base is a 3 x 3 inch white card blank. I matted some red tartan card over some black card and added this to the card front.

I then die-cut a large snowflake die in silver a red glitter cards.

These were layered centrally and embellished with an adhesive pearl. Three little die-cut stars were added.

Blue ......


Made a little papercrafted Christmas House .... it measures 5 x 2 x 3 inches.......

I printed 2 pieces of 300gsm of white card with a blue weathered wood design. These would become the outside walls of the little house.

I die-cut the walls and windows from the card and assembled the house base applying vellum to the inside to cover the window and door apertures (for lighting inside with a battery candle).




The roof was tiled with a die in blue card and some blue Stickles glitter glue was added to highlight.

I then used some Scandi dies (Sizzix) in two shades of blue and brown Kraft card along with some blue glitter card.





All elements were attached to the house front and sides (some on foam pads) and two sentiments were stamped on white card in Versafine black ink and applied as shown on foam pads.

No Christmas colours on this decorative Christmas House ......

Mistletoe .....


A Christmas card  .....

The base is a 6 x 6 inch white card. I then cut a smaller matt from brown Kraft card and embossed with a snow embossing folder. This was attached to the card base.

The mistletoe leaves were die-cut from green card, the bow from red/white striped paper and the berries from silver glitter card (Sizzix). They were assembled and added as shown to the Kraft matt using foam pads.

I then die-cut a round tag and stamped this with the sentiment in sepia Archival ink. It was added on some jute string and on foam pads.

LIM Challenge #478 .....

 It's time for another Challenge from 'Less Is More' this week the theme is ....



We do hope you will play along with us by making a Clean and Simple card in the theme whilst following the rules, of course !

This is my Design Team card for your inspiration:

The card was made on a 6 x 6 inch white cardbase. I cut a white base to 4 x 4 inches and stamped this with a stamp from AAll & Create in Versafine black ink which was then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Another image of the Wellingtons Boots was made and coloured with Copic markers before trimming out the boots.

I then stamped the words again on white card and edged with green Copic. The white matt was edged with black ink.

I then assembled the card by attaching the stamped layer to the centre of the card base. The boots and words were then attached over the originals on foam pads to finish the card ....

Nothing better than a session outdoors in the garden & do click HERE to visit 'Less Is More' blog where my fellow Design Team members have made cards for your inspiration .....

Poinsettia .......


Made another folded Christmas card ......

The base was cut from white card and scored and folded into shape. The front panels were then covered in a bright printed paper. Here are some instructions to make it your own : 

The card is made from a piece of card 8.5 x 5 inches. The scores are at 1.25 inches & 2.5 inches from each end leaving the central piece 3.5 inches. The tab with sentiment is 5.5 x 1 inch. When adding the tab make sure the card is folded flat before sticking it in place. The card fits a 6 x 6 envelope for posting.

An oblong of white card was die-cut with a stitched edge die as a background.

I then die-cut the poinsettia and holly leaves and berries using a set of Tim Holtz/Sizzix dies. They were layered on the white panel and this was added to the middle section of the card.

The sentiment was stamped in red Archival ink on a banner which was matted on green card. Two die-cut holly leaves and berries were added as shown before adding the banner to the bottom of the card.

The card folds flat, has a whte panel on the back for the handwritten greeting and fits a 6 x 6 inch envelope for posting .......

The base is a white slimline card. I cut a smaller matt from more white card and die-cut the word 'SNOW' in this. I chose some red plaid snowflake paper and applied this behind the die-cut letters.

I then die-cut a couple of snowflakes from red glitter card.

The die-cut matt was applied to the card on foam pads. The snowflakes were added as shown and these were centred with green adhesive pearls to finish .......

Hanger......


A decorated holly hanging box .....

The box components were die-cut from white card and assembled to form the box. The front was decorated with paper and the inside with dark green card.

The Poinsettia (Tim Holtz), holly, berries and fir sprigs were die-cut from coloured card and assembled as shown inside and around the outside of the box. I added Glossy Accents to the berries & some black stamens to the poinsettiawith  touch of white Posca pen.

The sentiment was stamped in Versafine black ink on white card, trimmed and matted on red card applying to the top right of the frame.

The decoration was finished with some dark green satin ribbon tied to form a loop with a bow. Would make a fab Christmas tree decoration ....
