MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU

Good morning friends and no I have not lost the plot by wishing you a Merry Christmas although saying that my local card shop has ,would you believe it, their Christmas cards in stock now.For us card makers this is the time for us to get making our cards in time for the festive season and today's card is making the most of the beautiful Spellbinder die "2012 Christmas Tree" which I cut out of some bright green fun foam and then added some bling.

 

 

For the sentiment I used Waltzingmouse stamp set "Very Vintage Christmas"stamped in black and again added some more bling.

 

The colours were influenced by the challenge over at the playdate cafe.blogspot. where I shall be entering this card.

 

Postman has just delivered some new dies that I had ordered last week so off now to try them out so enjoy the rest of your day and hope you drop by again soon.

SWEET BIRTHDAY WISHES

Although the weather may be dull outside I decided I needed a cheery and colouful card for today's project. The layout was inspired by the sketch challenge over at waltzingmouse sketch challenge and also gave me a chance to use my Clear Micro Glass Beads over the stamped background.These beads give a lovely effect and are easy to apply using double sided sticky film to fix them firmly in place.

The stamps used for the background were WMS Pic-nic Patterns and Faux Fun Circles and the sentiment using Compact Sentiments.



The flowers were cut from fun foam using Crealies Creative Flowers CL CF 17

Spellbinders dies Classic Rectangles Large and Grommet Tags shaped the sentiment tag area.

Take care friends and enjoy the rest of your day

LOVE

Back again with my second post of the day and this card was created using the sketch over at waltzingmouse sketch challenge.blogspot.co.uk and the colours from the shabby tearoom.blogspot.co.uk/.

This was a pretty quick card to put together using just pale colours to create a romantic theme which could be for a wedding, engagement or an anniversary.

For this project I used WMS - Say it Loud, Spellbinders - Classic Ovals Large, Lattice Motifs and Lace Doily Accents, art glitter, flat backed pearls and lace.

Hope the sun is still out tomorrow as I have a lot of gardening to catch up with. Take care and thanks for dropping by.
