Glittery tree

You've probably realised by now that I like quick, easy to make cards.  I will take my time and really craft some cards, but on the whole I like an easy life.

Today's card is probably one of the easiest ever!

I took the inner portion of the Christmas tree die from November's Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit,  and cut it from white card.

I pulled up the branches for a little dimension then added loads of  Stickles in the colour tidings.  This is a gorgeous glittery gold.

Once dry I stamped and gold embossed a sentiment from the Festive Friend stamp set, which was free with a recent craft magazine.

I added the finished panel to a green card base to finish off.

I love how effective this is for such a simple idea.  Hope you do too.

Say it with flowers

Thank you for visiting us today.  I'm back to share my latest card following our theme for the week - florals.



This card uses two stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp.  The sentiment is from the April monthly kit and the flowers from the May one.



I stamped the flowers and leaves using the two inks that also came in the May kit.  These are Spring Rain and Melon hybrid inks.

Once I had stamped them I fussy cut them which took me ages!  If I do this again I will use a much thinner card stock as the one I used had very little flex.  That's why you can see crease marks in some of the flowers.



I took a piece of cream card and stamped my sentiment using Versafine black ink.  I then arranged the flowers and leaves around it.



Hunting through the stash I found a card base that matched perfectly.  The finishing touches were some Ranger stickles in mint ice and tidings.

I love how this looks and hope you do too.  TTFN Jude xx

Snowflakes are Angel Kisses

Good morning all, hope all is well with you this week. I seem to be the only one around here that isn't coughing and spluttering at the moment. Both Jude and Alan have got bugs, and poor Alan has a chest infection, but that's about as much sympathy as he gets around here lol.

 

Anyway today's card is one that I have made on the digital Craft Artist Software.

  

 

I chose a background and then added elements and a sentiment to it and then sized it for an 8x8 card blank.

 

I printed it on to good quality card and then mounted it to an 8x8 Kraft card.

I finished it off with a generous helping of clear crystal stickles glue on the snowman and snowflakes and the star on top of the tree.

 

What do you think? Hope you like it too.

 

Take care
