Morning Best Blogging Buddies
It's time for another challenge over at In The Pink... and this time the theme is Christmas!!! This was great for me - as I haven't made many of my Christmas cards yet, it really got me in the mood!
Materials:
Paper: Scenic Route Paper Co - Brighton Blizzard
Die for Trees: Hero Arts Framelits Reindeer Set
Die for Oval: Spellbinders Floral Ovals
Distress Ink - Spun Sugar (around oval and edging trees)
Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue in Pink - for dots on trees - liberally sprinkled with glitter
Ribbon from stash
Sentiment - PC generated then punched with Stampin Up Oval Punch
Now on this one, you have to use your imagination as the second layer is silver mirri board, not black which is what it looks like on the photo!! And ooooh playing with Frantage... it's my favourite pastime ... well one of them!!! If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you will see it in all it's glory! It glitters so much on my mantlepiece - I am going to have real difficulty sending it to anyone!
Materials:
Spellbinders Dies - Heirloom Ornaments
Thin Silver Ribbon - from Stash
Oval Punch - Stampin Up
Sentiment - Stampin Up set - owned this for years and used to use it a lot!
Conifer Stamp - Stampin Up set - again, been in my stash for years
Distress Ink used while die in place - Spun Sugar
Silver Mirri Card
Frantage....... Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel and Silver Halo Mix Glitter
Hope you like my makes for In The Pink.... do pop over to the blog HERE to check out Sylvia's and Christine's (our GDT) too!
Bit chilly here today... think I may well cog up the heating and hibernate for a while!!
Big Hugs to all my blogging friends.. and happy crafting!

Both cards are stunning Christine. You would love the first best because it's PINK LOL.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, it probably was your embossing I saw and for a change the memory stayed with me long enough for me to try it. Thank you for the 'how to' :o)

Sorry Christine but I don't like these Christmas makes.... I love them, very different makes, the tree one is classy and love the die and the trees but the second one is so very glittery and at first I thought you had used acetate and was so envious but as it wasn't mentioned realised you hadn't but it looks as though you have, brilliant.

PS - My storage units were my b'day present from hubby, they are Really Useful and from Viking. Afraid I don't know the price as he won't divulge that info!!!
Amazing, wonderful. I did not think that the holidays can be pink and yet ...
