Snowy scene Christmas card


I have used Centura card and lovely glitter card to matt and layer my 8x8in white card. I die cut a scalloped circle with an Xcut die. I cut this from the centre of the layer before attaching it to my card because the white card is going over it you cant see the gap and it saves card. I cut the various buildings and trees using Marianne dies. I cut circle using a Go Kreate die and cut it in half. I added all the elements to the blue scalloped circle using glue and foam pads. I die cut the snowflakes using a Cheery Lynn die. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it will a die from The Works then completed my card with flat backed gems.

Bauble Christmas Card


This is a Christmas card for my Mother and Father-in-law. My Mother-in-law always like cards to match her colour scheme. I have made this one using the Sue Wilson weaving die. I weaved one piece with silver mirror card and Centura turquoise card. I have die cut the baubles using a Spellbinders nesting set. I have attached the bauble aperture to the weaving and carefully cut around it. There is enough weaving on one die cut to be able to do the three baubles. The card is matt and layered with mirror card, turquoise card and then white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Crafts Too embossing folder, I added ribbon from the top of the card to the bauble. I die cut the poinsettia using Marianne dies. I completed my card with flat backed gems on the poinsettia and flat backed pearls on the embossing.
