A Spellbinder Christmas

Welcome to the weekend!

This card is made using the Timeless Rectangles set from Spellbinders.  As the dies are so pretty the card didn't need fussy papers and lots of adornment.  This is a mid-green core-dinations card with a silver speciality paper from K & Company.

I added some simple white trees and a banner but then felt something was missing.  In comes Jen to the rescue, suggesting small green pearls for the trees.  Hallelujah! It worked.  Don't they make a difference?

This card could be replicated en mass for Christmas, or any occasion dependent on the chosen sentiment and colours.

Hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx

Tripping Tilda

Good morning all, hope you are well and having a good week. 

Today's card is another Christmas make, but this time using the lovely Tilda for a change. This is a rubber stamp called Tripping Tilda. I'm not sure if she is supposed to be a Christmas stamp but I use her as one!

I coloured her with Copics and cut her out with Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles.

I'm still trying to use some bits from my scraps box so picked this piece of stripey paper for the background. (At this rate I'll still be using bits from my scraps box for the next 20 years lol.)

Then I came across some Me to You ribbon that says Happy Christmas, so I thought I would use this as my sentiment. 

I added it across the bottom of the card on to a strip of black card. 

Then I added a few green and red gems as decoration and it was all finished. 

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

To a special niece

Good morning all, so glad it's Friday. It has been a long week at work this week so glad it's nearly over lol. 

Today's card is one I made for a friend at work. She was looking for an 18th birthday card for her niece but couldn't find one anywhere so she asked me to help. 

I was told nothing too girly, mainly black and white but could use a touch of red. So this is what I came up with. 

I started by embossing some white Centura Pearl card with a Sue Wilson embossing folder. I then cut this to fit an A5 card front and matted it with black card. 

The fancy label is cut with Spellbinders Timeless Rectangle die and the main sentiment was printed from the computer.  

I used a number die for the 18th and then used a new Memory Box die called Precious Hearts for the splash of red. 

Then I set to work with the gems! And used black and crystal gems on each of the joins. This took some time lol. 

I nearly left it there but decided to add the red braid at the end to finish it off. 

Hope you like it. See you soon. Take care.
