12 Days of Christmas Cards 2016

Hello All, Yesterday I finally got to make my last Christmas card. I wanted to use this die but was not sure of what design to use. Luckily a few challenges and a crafty buddy at Time Out Challenges helped inspire here. I got the layout from the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch where they are celebrating their 200th challenge-thank you for continuing to inspire us each week. I used the 'space' challenge at CASology also as inspiration-adding lots of white (well kraft here) to give this airy…

Hi All I hope you are having a fun weekend. We have a new challenge for you at AAA Cards. We would like to see 'Clean and Simple' cards that have some silver on them. Here is what I created: A square card with that much loved snowflake stamp from Visible Images. I am forever using it and this time stamped it in delicata sliver ink. I then die cut a 'Joy' sentiment a number of times with the top layer being cut out of silver glitter card. This is one of my fav Christmas cards this year. The…

It's National Cocoa Day! What a great day to celebrate by enjoying a cup of hot, chocolately goodness...and making a card to commemorate the day! I'm so lovin' these thermos stamps/dies from Papertrey Ink! My card actually reminds me of when I was a little girl wrapping in a plaid blanket and drinking hot cocoa out of a metal thermos at a park where our family had Sunday picnics. (Of course, we didn't go in December, but during the fall and the temps would be cool sometimes). Thanks to these…

I chose this week's challenge at City Crafter - Christmas things that float or fly. For my DT card I cut a robin and the top of a post box on the silhouette electronic die-cutter, I added snow using white embossing powder and the two part sentiment is Mama Elephant. I hope you will come over to City Crafter and see what the rest of the DT have made, and enter your own project.

Hello! I had no idea there was such a thing as National Hot Cocoa Day, but what a fun idea for a holiday! Do you have a special way you like to enjoy hot cocoa? My kids love it, probably because…

Jetzt habe ich Euch schon ein paar Tage keine neue Karte gezeigt, da wurde es langsam wieder Zeit! Wenn ich Euch alle Karten zeigen will die ich schon gemacht habe, dann könnte ich, glaube ich, noch eine Weile im neuen Jahr damit beschäftigt sein :) Vermutlich werde ich dann ein paar Karten in einen Post stecken. Now it has been a while already again, that I showed you a new card. So let´s continue, because I made several and otherwise I will continue in the new year with showing you…

Hi! I’m here with a card for the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!!! To start, I printed a free stacked cups image from Beyond the Fringes Crafts. :) Thanks for the free digi, Carmen! I al…

Morning, Christmas is supposed to be crisp and cold (at least in the UK) and today is supposed to be mild and a little wet - singularly UN festive!! Oh well, amazing what you can do with some Christmas lights and music .. fa la la la la I like Clean And Simple cards but I also like to finish my cards with a matting layer - I just think it looks nice. HOWEVER, the layers add weight and weight adds money so, I thought I would try to make some smaller One Layer Cards for posting abroad and here…

Hi there. I had this Penny Black image stamped from the other day when I made a tag. My first go was with Versafine Smokey Gray ink and I decided to use Gold Embossing Powder instead and as this one didn't get used I decided to make a card with it, which is what you can see here. For the card I used: Penny Black little bird from a set called Jolly Friends. Verve Stamp Set Pinecone Christmas. Simon Says Stitched Square Die. XCut Sentiment Die. Snippet of White Card. Snippets of Silver Mirri…

This first card I have used one of my favourite Christmas tree stamps, this time gold embossed on black. I made a few of these last year and this year, I just love the look. Sadly I am nearing the end of the gems I used here and for the life of me I cant remember where I got them. They just work perfectly with this tag. Anyway the smaller black tag is on a larger version of the same tag in white and that wonderful die cut 'joy' finishes it off perfectly. The stamped sentiment was cut down…
