Christmas Cards

I hope you have all found some time to do a little crafting over the weekend. I have spent a bit of time making up all the card kits that haven't been used in my classes, so I have a couple of sets I can give away as gifts. I've also made some Christmas cards as samples for my classes that we will make between now and Christmas.

This card is ideal for quick cards that have a visual impact. The medallion has been stamped with the new midnight muse and then daubed with bashful blue and dazzling diamonds added.

The 2nd card, I cased from Catherine Pooler and I love the result.

I used the Lovely as a tree stamp set, with heat and stick, then added glitter.  Early Espresso and whisper white cardstock, the sentiment is embossed with white powder.

Christmas Decoration and bow.

A couple of Christmas projects. Thanks so much to Rhonda Fawcett www.stampinfantastic.co.nz for sharing this project, Rhonda has it on her site as a flower, which I loved and while making one up I thought this could make a pretty Christmas decoration, made with Christmas paper and some dazzling diamond glitter. Both the decoration and the bow have a diamante in the middle. These are so easy to make using the owl punch that I am going to get my workshop classes to make some.

 

The bow below I discovered while browsing the web on an American site, Jason Cooper, Thanks for sharing Jason.

Happy Birthday Nick

Tomorrow is not only "Fathers Day" but also our eldest son's birthday, I am pleased with the cards I made for our three grandsons to give to their Dad and also one from my husband and I to give him. These are all clean and simple cards which I know he will appreciate. I'm really enjoying the new Hostess stamp set "Happiest Birthday Wishes" as well as the new colours.

Christmas on the Horizon

Christmas is looming very quickly indeed, I have started creating some cards for my workshop ladies, using both old and new products. I love the new raspberry ripple "in colour" which works really well with the new gumball green. These cards are quick and easy to make. Hope you all have a great weekend and manage to get in some crafting.

Here is another of the projects from Stampin Fun and Friends a double gated fold card created by Paula Reid, who fortunately for us is one of our team. Thanks Paula for sharing your great work.
