Winter Wonderland

Good morning all, I hope you are well and having a good week. I am back at work this week  😞, so not much crafty time for me, but hopefully I will get to play at the weekend 😊.

Today's card is using the cute Lawn Fawn Toboggan Together set for the little deer, and the Cheery Christmas set for the tree.

They are stamped with Memento inks and the deer is coloured with Copic markers. For the background I used a Spellbinders Bauble die to cut a shape in a piece of shimmer card. Then I ran that piece through a snowflake embossing folder.

I used Marianne Design Dies to cut the little houses and trees, and teamed them with the Mama Elephant Stitched Border Trio for the snowy banking.

I arranged it all on a dark blue card blank and added a piece of pale blue dotty paper to the background.

Then I added the Lawn Fawn sentiment, which I cut in to two pieces, a few snowflakes and a scalloped border to finish it off.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Oh Christmas Tree

Good morning all, hope you are having a good week. Today's cards are two I made using the same stamp and a couple of embossing folders. 

I started with the background card and cut a Christmas Tree frame from thick card to use while embossing the background. You lay the frame over the top of the embossing folder and this stops it embossing the whole thing.

Using this technique means you get a flat area of your card where you can stamp a sentiment or an image. 

For these cards I used a Marianne Designs Christmas Tree for the frame and a Creative Expressions stamp for the tree from their Let it Snow collection.

For this first card I used a sentiment stamp from JustRite from their Mix and Match Christmas Blessings set.

and for the second card I used a sentiment from a Molly Moo set. 

I stamped both cards with Versamark ink and then embossed one with Gold and the other with Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder from Ranger.

Then I added a couple of brads to the trees and the sentiment.

Hope you like them, see you soon, take care.

Let it snow

Good morning all and hello Friday, so glad to see you lol. Hope you all have plans for a crafty weekend. We will be doing some serious sorting out in our craft room this weekend, as we have some new storage coming, so we need to get rid of the old to make way for the new!

Anyway today's card is a pretty Christmas one.

I started with a piece of white card and cut two windows in it with a decagon shaped die. Then I ran the card through a snowflake embossing folder. 

I found some little blue snowflake stickers to go inside the windows, and then used some clear gel circles over the top so they look a bit like glass.

I found some paper in the stash with pale blue snowflakes on too, so I used this to go behind the main panel. 

Then I found some icy blue ribbon and tied a bow across the middle. 

I added it all to a DL card blank and then stamped the sentiments and backed them with some blue card.

I think I will make some more similar ones in different colours with white as the main colour, as I do like a mainly white Christmas card. 

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
