I die cut the gingerbread people using Cheery Lynn dies. I attached black card on the back of them to cover the spaces for the eyes and like wise for the "buttons" using red card. I attached ribbon along the bottom of the card and then the gingerbread people. Finally I added stars that I cut with a punch.

Tree Decoration


This project is for my DT post over at movingalongwiththetimes

I have made some decorations for my Christmas tree. I have enjoyed making them. I don't make anything other than cards very often. 

I have used a MDF shape and covered it with some patterned paper from my stash.

I have used various items from my crafty stash that I have had from my local artificial floral supplies. I have included a die cut poinsettia that I cut with a Tattered Lace die and a small die cut sentiment.

I added these elements with my glue gun.

Wreath Christmas Card


I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with red and then green embossed card. I embossed the green card with an Embossalicious embossing folder. I have used embellishments from my local artificial floral supplies to make the wreath. I attached this to my card with my glue gun. I die cut the Season's Greetings with a Elizabeth Craft Design die and added it to a white oval that I cut with a Presscut die from a nesting set. I attached this oval to a green and then red oval that I cut with the next two sizes in the nesting set. After attaching this to my card I used red Tonic Nuvo drops to embellish the berries on the holly embossed background.

High Top Birthday Card


I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with red card and then plain black card on the bottom and black and white spotty card on the top and then red satin ribbon across the card where the two cards meet.

Floral Heart Birthday Card


I have used this card for my DT post over at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper

I matt and layered an A4 white card with pink card and pink and white gingham card. I distressed the edges of the card. I die cut a heart to use the shape as a guide to add the embellishments, The embellishments are from Anna Marie and my local artificial floral supplier. I die cut the trellis using a Cheery Lynn die and attached it to white card before attaching it to my card. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with an oval die from a Presscut nesting set, I mounted the oval onto bigger ovals and attached it to the trellis. I completed the card with Tonic Nuvo drops.

I made a box for my card and added hearts cut with Sizzix dies, a sentiment cut with a Tonic die and finally embellishments to match the card.
