Parchment 3D Christmas Tree

I have used a Groovi board to make this Christmas tree. The instructions are on the board which is a clever idea. After assembling the tree I added a battery operated tealight. I am pleased with my first attempt. I can't wait to try again and learn from my mistakes.

Boat Card for a Thank You

I made this card for a lovely couple who very kindly allowed my family to use their beautiful caravan last weekend.

The Hunkydory books came in useful again. I found this image which was perfect.

I made an 8x8in white easel card. I mounted the image onto blue card. I die cut the valance using a Cheery Lynn die. I matt and layered the top of the card with navy and then white card. I then attached the two valances and then added the image. I matt and layered the base with navy and white card to matt the top. I die cut the elements on the bottom using Spellbinders Nesting dies. I then cut the sentiment using a Cheery Lynn die. Unfortunately I didn't have a thank you die and I had run out of ink so "Best Wishes" had to do. I die cut the little boat with a die from a Sue Wilson baby set. I attached this element to the base of my card with foam pads so it will act as the stopper for the easel.

Cute girly card

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with pink card and then green and white gingham card.

I distressed and inked these layers before attaching them to my card. I attached ribbon and hessian across my card. I have die cut the ornate shape with a Joy die and attached it to my card and then added my Hobbyhouse image to it. I added flowers, buds, moss and pearl strands to my card using hot glue. I die cut the sentiment with a Cheery Lynn die and added to the white shape that I cut with a Spellbinders die. I die cut the flourishes with a Cheery Lynn die and then attached these elements to my card. I completed my card with flat backed pearls

Wreath Christmas Card

This is my card for the challenge over at movingalongwiththetimes

Some of my family love flowers, so I have made this card with them in mind.

I have covered my 8x8in white card with green embossed card. I used a holly embossing folder.

I die cut oval using dies from a Presscut nesting set. I added the die cut sentiment to the ovals and then attached it to my card.

I used various supplies from my local artificial floral supplier. I have bought similar elements from craft shops in the past but they are so much cheaper if you can find a similar supplier where you live.

I attached these to the wreath using hot glue and then the wreath to my card with hot glue.  I completed my card by using Tonic Nuvo drops for the "berries" on the embossed background.

Motorcycle Birthday Card

The image from a Hunkydory little book has helped to make a basic last minute card again.

They have been useful so many times particularly for men's cards.

I have simply matt and layered my 8x8in card with red card and then added Creative Expressions ribbon down the card. I matt and layered the image with red, green and kraft card and then attached it to my card. I printed a sentiment and die cut it with an oval die from a Presscut nesting set. I also cut red and green ovals to mount my sentiment before adding it to my card. I completed my card with some stars that I cut with a punch.

Pretty Box

I have used the Tonic Kaleidoscope dies to create this box. This box is very similar to a sample that was on Hochanda. I loved it so thought I would have a go. I'm very pleased with the results.

Engagement Card

I have made this personalised engagement card for my neighbours. They got engaged while on holidays.

I matt and layered my 8x8in white card with silver mirror card and then white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Tattered Lace embossing folder. I attached ribbon across my card and that attached some lace and pearl embellishment through the centre of the ribbon. I used a nesting set of dies from The Works and firstly die cut the larger size in the silver mirror card. I die cut the flourishes with Cheery Lynn large and small dies. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with the next size in the nesting set. I attached the flourishes around the sentiment. I attached the larger flourish on the ribbon before adding the other embellishments with my glue gun. I have added flowers then pearls on string and pearl pins between the flowers.

Gift Bag

This is  my creation for my DT post over at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.

I have never made much other than cards for Christmas but I have started a lot earlier this year so I decided to make a few other things. I am using up some of my stash that I have had for a long time too. I am making items that match family and friends Christmas colour schemes so they will look nice under their tree.

I have bought some kraft paper bags in £ shop. and covered them with paper from a Kanban set. I added a poinsettia that also came in to the set. I die cut the tag using a Sue Wilson die and added the sentiment.

16th Birthday Card

I have been asked to make a personalised 16th Birthday card. The friend who requested it picked the topper so I knew what I had to work with.

I went for a simple design. I matt and layered the 8x8in white card with black card and then pink/red card. I added spotty paper by Anna Marie to the top of my card and then added satin ribbon across the centre. I attached the topper from a Hunkydory book to black card before attaching it to my card. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Presscut oval die from a nesting set and then cut the next size in the nesting set in the pink card to mount the sentiment before adding it to the card.

Christmas card

I am trying to be prepared with my Christmas cards this year. I remember one of my neighbours liking a card very similar to this last year so I decided to make one for her.

I have matt and layerd my 8x8in white card with red card and then white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a Crafts Too embossing folder. I die cut the trellis design with a Tonic die and the candles with a Marianne die. I attached those to my card. I then added the holly flourish that I cut with a Cheery Lynn die and then the poinsettia that I cut with a Marianne die. I completed my card with Tonic Nuvo drops and flat backed pearls.

Golf Good Luck Card

A card for a keen golfer.

I have used an image from a Hunkydory book. This book has come in handy so many times when making cards for a man.

I matt and layered my 8x8in Kraft card with navy and then kraft card. I added a strip of navy card and then a strip of Creative Expressions ribbon. I attached the topper to a piece of navy card before attaching it to the card. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a Presscut oval from a nesting set and then die cut ovals  in navy and kraft card with the next sizes in the nesting set to mount the sentiment. I attached this to my card before completing it with a die cut cup that I cut with a Marianne die.

New Home Card

I have been asked to make a personalised New Home card.

I have matt and layered my 8x8in white card with red and white spotty card and white embossed card. I embossed the white card with a brick effect folder. I die cut the various elements with Memory Box dies to resemble a house, these dies are great for this. I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a die from a nesting set from The Works and die cut the next size in the set in red card to mount the sentiment. I then added a small butterfly that I cut with a  die I had free with a magazine and then finally Tonic Nuvo drops.

Birthday card for a knitter

I have been asked to make a 60th birthday card for a lady that likes to knit

I have used the Tonic jigsaw die set to create this card.

I used lilac and purple card to cut the jigsaw elements. I assembled my 8x8in white card by covering with gingham card then attaching the elements of the jigsaw. I printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with an element from the jigsaw die set and added that to my card.

I have used the Xcut Haberdashery set to cut the elements. I cut them using purple, mirror and kraft card. I also used wool and a button to complete my card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
