Sweet November No Peeking Elves


Hi Peeps..

For my card today, I used the fabulous No Peeking Elves digi stamp from Sweet November.  It's just so darn cute!  I was inspired by a card I saw by Amy - with the red background, so gave it a go.  I coloured the image, then masked it so that I could ink blend over it - and was pleased how it turned out.  I added a strip of paper down the side, and a sentiment over the ink blending.  Then I adhered the card panel to my card base.

Image - Sweet November No Peeking Elves
Sentiment - Mama Elephant Mixed Holiday Greetings
Paper - Scrap from Stash
Distress Oxide - Crackling Campfire

Hope you like my make today as much as I enjoyed making it!  I have the No Peeking Santa too - so watch this space!

Daisies


Hi Peeps...

I'm having a little change from Christmas cards - and doing some 'stash shopping' again!

I used a square piece of mixed media paper - and used Distress Oxides on a diagonal half of it, which I then splattered with gold watercolour paint.  Then I diecut the daisies, popping them onto the card as a border, with the yellow centres created using a tiny punch!  The leaves were from a different die set, but I think they were needed... and the sentiment is from a Pink Fresh Studio set - I stamped and embossed it in gold.


Card Info:
Dies - Britannia Dies Multi Flower Roses
Leaves - Spellbinders
Sentiment - Pink Fresh Studio - Playful Petals
Distress Oxides - Tumbled Glass, Broken China
Gold Watercolour Paint

It's been very cold here today - we had snow yesterday, so this card has made me feel a little brighter!

Sweet November Little Christmas Angel 2


Hi Lovelies...

I'm back today with another card made using the Sweet November Little Christmas Angel..  this time I created a background using the Taylored Expressions Twinkle Twinkle background stamp (with lots of sparkle) over some blended Distress Oxides.  

I coloured and fussy cut the image, then I then adhered the angel with 3D foam tape to the panel, and added a sentiment which I heat embossed in silver.  Finally I adhered the panel to my card base with fun foam, giving it depth.

Alexandra Renke Fir Trees with Frame


Hi Peeps...

For my card today, I've used one of the Alexandra Renke Fir Trees with Frame dies (that I used the other day) - but this time just one on it's own, in a very CAS card.

I die cut both the tree and frame from a card panel leaving an aperture, then cut the frame from gold mirri.  I added some glitter card behind the tree aperture, adhering the frame on top.  Lastly, I stamped a tiny sentiment and used a Stampin' Up punch to cut it.  I then used some gold thread to add it to my card.  


Card Info:
Dies - Alexandra Renke Fir Trees with Frame, MFT Stitched Rectangle
Sentiment - Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Sentiment Set
Stampin' Up punch
Gold Mirri and Glitter Card


I've added this third close up - hopefully so the gold and glitter card show up more.  Hope you like what I did!

Happy Crafting...

Alexandra Renke Christmas Firs


Hi Lovelies..

Today I have a card to share that I made with dies I bought a year or so back..  so again, I'm shopping my stash!

I saw a beautiful card on Pinterest which caught my eye, by Lynne Atkinson, so thought I'd give it a go.  I loved how she'd used pastel colours, so I dug out my coloured card.  Thank you for the inspiration Lynne.

I did all the die cutting of the trees, adhering them to a white card panel, then die cut the Christmas word from rose gold satin cardstock.  I then cut a couple of extra words in white, and adhered them together to create a bit of depth, before adding them to my card.  I added a few tiny dots that I'd cut from the rose gold - and it was done.


Card Info:
Dies - Alexandra Renke Fir Trees with Frame
Alexandra Renke Christmas Typo Word Die
Pastel Coloured Card
Rose Gold Satin Card

It was a bit fiddly to make - but worth the effort I think...  so that's another one down.... still loads to go!

Happy Crafting...
