I made this card today for the Simon Says Stamp challenge "Layered"  and used a plain white card base with paper from the Meg's Garden pad  "A Vintage Christmas" with a circle cut from  a Nellie Snellon Multi Frame Cutting die together with a village from Marianne's Creatable Cutting die and a snowflake from Sizzex Snowflake No.17, and a Christmas Ticket, I used red flat backed stick on red pearls.    I enjoyed making this card, and  I always love the Simon Says Stamp challenges!!!

52 (Christmas) card throwdown - July Sketch 7

This is todays card made for the 52 (Christmas) card throwdown, July sketch  7 challenge.  I used a plain white cardstock for the background card base and the christmas is from Darkroom Door, and a blue cardstock from my stash and I used a corner from Nellie Snellon Multi Frame cutting die and the small church is from Marianne Creatables Village cutting die. the little silver stars I have had for years and a small red flat backed pearl for the centres from Kaiser craft. I have a lot of fun working on this card for this challenge

"Tag"

I made this tag card today for the challenge on Simon Says Stamp "Tag".  I got the inspiration for this card from Creative Cardmaking  Magazine from the UK, it is a pop up style card, with the tag inside, and you pull it up and it sits in the base.   I used red card stock for the background of the card with Bo Bunny Paper "Believe", I used the gingerbread people cutting die from the Quickutz set "Jolly", and the pointsettia is from Marianne's creative dies.  and the Christmas ticket is from a RAK from my friend Meg.  When the card is closed it will fit into a regular envelope and when the tag is pulled up it will stand in the base.

Anything Goes

I made this card for the "52 (Christmas) card throw down challenge", "Anything goes", I used plain white cardstock for the base and used a music score paper and some red patterned paper from Darkroom Door, a white doily and some red sparkly ribbon.  I used a Marianne Cutting Die for the green pine leaves and I hand cut the small roses and shaded them with Vintage Photo ink pad from Ranger, I had sone christmas tickets sent to me my my friend Meg and three red stick on pears from Kaiser Basics, and I shaded the edges with a red ink pad.

Merry Christmas

This is a second card I made today from left over scraps, I used the white card stock for the base of the card with a left over piece of paper from Megs Garden "A Vintage Christmas" paper stack, with a red background and used a Merry Christmas cutting die from the Quick Kutz set "Jolly" for the sentiment and the holly, I used a Marianne die for the pointsettia.   I shaded the edges with a red ink pad.

Santa Claus is coming to town

This is today's card, Christmas is only a few months away and I like to get the cards ready as I send out quite a lot.   I used white cardstock with Darkroom Door Christmas paper for all the paper elements, the Ho Ho Ho was cut with the QuickKutz set "Jolly" Limited edition. I use this quite a lot with my Christmas cards, I cut the flower and leaves with Marianne Creatables cutting die. I quite like this one.
