Clean and simple Snowflake Christmas Card

Hello

Today I am sharing a Christmas card I made recently.  It is easy to replicate so ideal for batch making.


I started by stamping a few snowflakes, in grey, directly onto my square card blank.
Then I cut four different snowflakes in white card and glued these onto the card as you can see.
I finished with a sentiment produced on my computer and a single gem.

Hope you like this, thank you for visiting.

All for now

Christmas card using Tim Holtz Crazy Dog stamps and dies

Hello there

Today's card showcases Sizzix dies and Stampers Annonymous stamps



I created the background by spritzing with a pewter ink spray.  I cut into this with a Tim Holtz Multi Media die and glued these layers to my card blank.

The dog, bones, lead and presents are from the Crazy Dog and Crazy Accessories sets (dies by Sizzix and stamps by Stampers Annonymous ). The trees are from my collection of dies.

I kept the colours cool, and am pleased with the result.  Hope you like this.  Thank you for visiting

Christmas card - dancing robins

Hi
Today I would like to show you a Christmas card I  made using a Little Claire stamp as a focal point.


This card was very straightforward to make.  I simply stamped and coloured the image with Promarkers before cutting it out with a rectangular die.

I backed the image onto gingham card from Anne Marie Designs, and added a ribbon and snowflake to one corner and a die cut sentiment to the bottom.

Hope you like it.

Thank you for visiting.

Spellbinders Make mine lemon lime die, part 2

Hi

I would like to show you the second card I made using these great dies.


As you can see I chose to use the dies as limes this time because I had found this quote which I wanted to use.

I altered one leaf so it looks like lips (I hope you think so too) to emphasise the 'smile' of the quote.

I am very happy with the result, hope you like it

Thank you for visiting

Spellbinders Make mine lemon lime die

Hello

I was lucky enough to win this lovely die (Spellbinders - Make mine Lemon Lime) when I left a comment on Christine Emberson's blog - Creativity Continues.

Christine is a very talented lady who is an ambassador for Spellbinders.

I was really excited to receive it and this is a card I made with the die set..



The black polka dot paper in the background really make the die cuts stand out. 

However, I do wonder if I should have sat the central black mat onto a narrow white mat??.  Perhaps I will try this next time as I have more ideas for this die set - watch this space

Thank you for visiting

BOO! - Halloween card

Hello all

I wanted to use my new spider's web die again, so came up with this version of a Halloween card.



I decided not to use the usual halloween colours of black with orange, so instead used red and black which looks quite creepy - don't you think? I am pleased with the result.

Thank you for visiting

Take care

Christmas card with jolly snowmen

Hello

I wanted to keep all colours on this card almost monochrome.


I stamped the central image then masked it off and stamped it again on either side.

I coloured the image with muted shades of Promarkers , added a monochrome border and silver die cut.

I am really pleased with the result, hope you are too.

All for now
