My own Christmas cards.

These were two of the designs I used for the cards I sent out at Christmas.

Snowflake card.

The snowflake was cut with the cuttlebug die again. And the background embossed. This card needed very little else and was quick for batches. A peel-off greeting and some gems were all the embellishments required.

Bauble card.

Another quick card, the bauble was cut using a Marianne Creatables die from sparkly card. I then stuck these to a sheet of turquoise and cut around them by hand. The borders were created using the Woodware Crafty Edger and elegant flourish die.

Christmas again.

Christmas tree.

This was a CASE of a card made by my good friend Rhonda. She used purple and lime but I wanted more traditional colours.
The stamp is from Woodware and I coloured it using Pro-markers, ruby, pine, gold, grass and cocoa. The ribbon was quite broad and looked bare so seemed like a good place to put the greeting peel off? A little bit of stickles and a card candi finish it off.

Joy card.

I got inspiration from a magazine for this card and chose contemporary colours. The pink sparkly snowflake is cut using a cuttlebug die. The letters J and Y were cut with the Cricut on ' George and basic shapes' and the O is another Woodware stamp. Again finished using pro-markers, some iridescent stickles and card candi.

Cards from a previous class

Cards from my 2nd class.

Rose pocket fold

I cut a 12X12 double sided paper to 11" so it would fit in the envelope. (have made that mistake before!!) the Crafty Edger ribbon border punch worked really nicely and the rose, made from a scalloped circle, just fills up the wee space at the corner. The only problem is that despite my efforts it still won't fit in the blinken envelope as the flower sits up too high! Aww well, better luck next time!

Let it snow

I made use of my collection of Cuttlebug folders for the 2nd card.(I didn't get the title 'cuttlebug queen' from my friends in Paper Mill shop days for nothing!!!!) the background was embossed using snow dots and the a larger tree using budding vine. The tree shapes were cut with a nellies die. Torn pearlised paper makes snow and "Let it snow" embossed and mounted on a scrap piece of silver sparkly card completes this one.
