Winter Scene Eclipse Card 1

Hi Lovelies...

I've been playing with eclipse cards again - this time for Christmas, and have found a couple of images from png.wing which fitted the bill perfectly for me.

The first one I used was a wreath shape, with a winter scene in the centre.  After printing it twice, sizing it to match the die, I used the circle slatted die set from Craft Addiction UK to cut the top image, placing the other image behind, and adhering it there with thin foam tape.  This just gives a bit of depth between the images.

I matted it on to some navy cardstock to match the image, and give it some twinkle with my glue pen and some iridescent glitter - unfortunately, it doesn't show up on the photographs... grrr!

I did wonder about a sentiment, but felt it was better kept simple with the sentiment inside.

Hope you like my card today...  these eclipse cards are relatively easy and quick to make, and I think, are very effective!

Pretty Pink Posh Winter Trees

Hi Lovelies..

OK I'm a bit late with this post as it went on Instagram on Thursday - but better late than never!

I've used the gorgeous Winter Trees set from Pretty Pink Posh again, this time cutting just the three of the smaller tree die - one in pink glitter card! I cut a stitched rectangle, then placed the trees in a row, using my T square ruler, to get them level!  Lastly, I added a small sentiment below the trees.

The Greetery Mistletoe

Hi Lovelies...

Today my card is another for my Christmas pile..  this time I used the Mistletoe die set from The Greetery.

I cut the mistletoe from card that I'd smooshed with various green Distress Oxides..  then I die cut the berries and coloured them with Copics.  I diecut the rectangle and adhered the mistletoe and berries, then added a bow that I'd cut from glitter card using a die set from Craft Addiction UK.

I adhered the mistletoe to the die cut rectangle, then added the berries.  I used Glossy Accents to give the berries shine and shape.  Then I added a tiny sentiment, heat embossed in gold onto red card.  I added a few sequins too to match the gold, then matted and layered onto kraft card, then red card.

Pretty Pink Posh Winter Trees x 6

Hi Lovelies...

For my card today, I've used the Pretty Pink Posh Winter Trees die set again.... this time using six trees in different colours!  Not really Christmas colours - but colours I love... 

I diecut the trees, then splattered them with white and silver - definitely making them wintery! When they were dry, I adhered them to a stitched card panel which I'd die cut, then adhered that to the card.  The most difficult part was getting the trees in a straight line, but I managed!

Lastly, I used a diecut Merry Christmas which I'd cut in silver and white...  I added it with foam pads so it was slightly raised from the trees.

Holly and Berries

Hi Lovelies…

Today, I’ve been diecutting again! This time I’ve used this holly and berries from a set… I diecut them three times and coloured them, before adhering them together. I then covered them in glossy accents to give a shine.

I diecut a scalloped square for the holly to be adhered to… then a red square mat to accentuate the scallops.  I then created an embossed background to adhere to my card.

Snowflake Circle

Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm sharing a rocker card - it's an unusual shape for me, but I enjoyed making it and love how it turned out.

Firstly, I diecut the snowflake circle - then used a plain circle die around the edge to give it a white frame.  I created a background for the circle by blending some Distress Oxide inks and stamping a starry background, which I heat embossed with sparkly white embossing powder.

Then I diecut two scalloped stacked circles from Craft Addiction UK - to created firstly, a mat in navy blue, then finally the rocker part of the card in white.  I used another die from Craft Addiction UK for the little sentiment - which I attached with a foam pad, and finally a little silver bow.

Pretty Pink Posh Winter Trees

Hi Lovelies...

I've been in a CAS mood lately, so when this Winter Trees set by Pretty Pink Posh dropped through my letterbox, I knew what was going to be my first card! 

I diecut the tree from silver glitter card, and added it to a diecut stitched square.  Then I created a square stitched panel, which I embossed with a square in the centre, using a plain square die and a rubber mat in the diecutting machine - it just gives some extra depth.  I added the square with the tree in the centre of that.

Snowman again!

Hi Peeps...

I'm back today with another card using this gorgeous snowman die.  

This time, I created a background using a rectangular stencil, which I blended Distress Inks through, then I splattered white to create the snow.  

I colour the snowman with Copics, then adhered him to the scene with foam pads.  Lastly I added a small sentiment, which I'd heat embossed in silver.

Craft Addiction UK Deer

Hi Lovelies..

Today I've used some diecut deers from Craft Addiction UK - and popped them in front of a diecut forest - I've created the background using Distress Oxides - then shaded the trees slightly, adding lots of stickles for sparkle.

I adhered the diecuts with foam tape, then added a tiny sentiment which I'd heat embossed in silver.

Hope you like!

Snowman scene

Hi Lovelies..

Today I'm sharing a card I made with a fabulous little snowman die...  and I decided to use an arch frame to give him a nice little background!

Firstly, I coloured the snowman's hat and scarf, also giving him a little shading too.  I added glitter to his hat too.  I created a little background that would fit in my arch, using Distress Oxides for the sky, and some glitter card for the snow bank.  I added lots of splattered white snow and glitter, then adhered the snowman in the corner.  I'd popped some tiny trees from Gummiapan to the scene which I think, gave depth.

Then I adhered the little scene to a panel that I'd embossed with a snowy embossing folder.  I decided it didn't need a sentiment.

Waffle Flower Postage Collage Snowman

Hi Lovelies..

Well, I've done it... I  managed to buy a duplicate stencil set from Waffle Flower, and even coloured it very similarly to when I made one less than a year ago!  Of course, I didn't realise I already had, and had used, this fabulous stencil set before!  Yes... I'm getting THAT old!

But still... it's a fabulous stencil set and I loved using it - this time, I used darker blues for the blending.  After I did the die-cutting, I stamped the postage marks, then I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed with silver embossing powder..  fussy cutting it and adhering to the card panel.  I added some glitter in the snowflake, and it was done.

Craft Addiction UK Santa Stuck in the Chimney

Hi Lovelies..

Today, I'm sharing a card I made with a fabulous set of dies from Craft Addiction UK - the house, the Santa, the tree and the signpost all come in the same set.

I created a background with Distress Oxides in different shades of blue, then created a snow bank with white glitter card.  I added lots of splatters of white paint, to create the snow.

Then I did the die cutting and colouring of the image, before adhering all the bits onto the background.  I added lots of glitter with a glue pen onto the roof and the snow on the chimney and around the base.  Lastly I added a Merry Christmas sentiment, which I'd stamped and heat embossed with silver, before fussy cutting around it.

Craft Addiction UK Bauble Overlay

Hi Lovelies...

Today my card features one of the fabulous recent dies from Craft Addiction UK - it's from the Bauble Overlay die set, which has four different sizes. 

I diecut the frame from silver mirri card, then decided to put a winter scene behind that I'd downloaded and printed out from png.wing - they have an amazing range.  I added some glitter to the scene, then adhered it to the back of the diecut frame.  

For the background, I used white cardstock that I'd embossed with falling snow - I think it was a Sizzix embossing folder...  then I added a navy blue panel on the card base to show around the white.

Finally, I added a tiny sentiment, and a silver thread bow for the top of the bauble.

Craft Addiction UK Dragonflies

Hi there...

Today, I'm sharing a card I made with the fabulous Dragonfly dies from Craft Addiction UK.  I decided to keep it very CAS,  just using the criss-cross die from Altenew onto my card panel, with the dragonfly landing to take a close look!

Unfortunately, you can't see that the criss-cross is cut from silver mirri card - I think I'm going to have to invest in some better camera equipment!

For the dragonfly, I coloured a piece of Bristol Smooth watercolour card, using Distress Spritzes in various colours - Wilted Violet, Peeled Paint, Salvaged Patina and Unchartered Mariner.  I let that dry before die-cutting the dragonflies (yes I have more to use!)  The Spritzes give a lovely shimmer in real life - again, it can't be spotted on these photos - you have to use your imagination! LOL!  

I adhered the dragonfly to the criss-cross on the card... then added some crystal gems to it's body, and a few around the image.  I also added some Stickles glitter glue to it's body.  The tiny sentiment is from Clearly Besotted... I use this set so often!

Pretty Pink Posh Flower Bouquet

Hi Lovelies..

I've been having a little play with some older stash just lately...  for these cards I used a set from Pretty Pink Posh called Flower Bouquet.

I coloured and fussy cut the images, then created a background using dies from Craft Addiction UK called Scallopstack..  there are squares, circles and rectangles available... and they look so good!  I cut them in white, stamped and gold heat embossed my sentiment, then matted them onto pink cardstock, and then onto my card base.  

I adhered the fussy cut image to the centre of the card using foam pads.

Penny Black Sending Blooms (again!)

Hi Lovelies..

Well I'm back with the second flower image from the Penny Black Sending Blooms set..  again, I've stamped, coloured and fussy cut the image, before creating the background.  This time I blended Distress Oxides through a circular stencil onto a stitched rectangle diecut panel.

I decided to go for yellow flowers this time... yes me, using yellow!  I thought they matched the background on which I'd used a few different greens.

Then finally I added a tiny sentiment from Craft Addiction UK, which I tied on to the stalks of the flowers, and some tiny gems, before adhering the panel to a green base panel.
