Christmas Star

After seeing a creation on the T.V. I found a video by Crafters Companion on YouTube to help me make this creation. I have used white 5x7in cards. I cut 5 gold pieces of card measuring 9.5in by 7in and scored them down the centre. I die cut the Create-a-card dies into the gold card. I attached the gold card inside the white cards by attaching the edges which results in there being a gap between the layers at the crease because the gold piece of card is 1/2in shorter. I attached all 5 cards together. When the star is closed like a book I have wrapped satin ribbon around the book with red liner tape. I added the gold embossed card onto the cover over the ribbon. I added strips of white card on the sides of the die cut area along with the satin ribbon. I added die cut holly and snowflakes to the white areas and embellished them with gems and pearls.

Cute Deer Card

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with pink and tan card. I have cut lengths of green card with a Memory Box grass die. I attached white embossed card on the top of my card before adding layers of grass on the bottom of my card.

I die cut the tree using a Memory Box die and added small pink flowers that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I cut three deer with a Marianne die set and attached them to my card amongst the grass. I added bigger flowers (cut with a punch) to co mplete my card.

New Baby Keepsake

I made this baby gift for a new baby boy whose Daddy is an avid Welsh rugby supporter.

The box fame measures 8x8in and is from The Range. I also purchased the large letters from The Range. I found the three feathers image online, printed it and die cut it with a rectangular die from a Tonic nesting set. I mounted this onto kraft card.

I used red card for the background and attached the large letters, spelling the new baby's Christian name across the top of my layout. I then added the three feathers image. I printed the personalised details and cut them with a banner die by Sue Wilson. I attached these to my layout. I completed the layout with the die cut rugby ball and boots cut with Sweet Dixie dies.
