Christmas Santa

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today's card uses some golden oldies which have been part of my stash for at least 7 years. Have a look ...

The background was part embossed with a Sizzix Texturz plate and score board lines. The Santa was stamped, watercoloured, fuzzy cut and popped up against some snowflakes.

Stamps by Crafter's Companion, small snowflakes from a Dovecraft punch, the middle snowflake from a Creative Memories punch and the large snowflake is a Xcut die.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Season's Greetings

Hi Crafty Friends!

Sharing another Christmas card using some of my older stash ... have a look ...

Yes, I'm rather liking this dotty circle right now. It came as a set of 3, just not sure where exactly I got it from.

Today's card uses the largest of the three whereas Saturday's and Sunday's cards were featuiring the middle one. It's paired with some snowflakes, the largest being an Xcut die and the two others punches, popped up on a brusho background and finished off with a gem and die-cut sentiment by STAMPlorations.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Oldies Are Goldies 1

Hi Crafty Friends!

Another little Christmas card for you today using a few bits I've had for a while ... have a look ...

Sometimes it's really good to look through stamps and dies one had for quite a while, especially when one's mojo has taken leave.

I found this little critter among some older stamps by Crafter's Companion. It was combined with a snowflake by Xcut and two more dies from my stash.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Die Cut Beauties

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was taken up by going to the newly opened Range, having a boat trip on a canal and trying to work ahead as I am going to be a little busy next month.

As you've probably already noticed, I tend to mainly stamp my cards. Nevertheless I do own a few dies too, and they decided they wanted some playtime this weekend.

First up is a card I made using the cover gift from Quick Cards Made Easy ...

... and next is one I made using my Xcut snowflake die ...

As you can see I used my favourite spritzing inks, combined them with the die cuts. a little stamping and doodling. These cards are super easy to make and won't need an explanation.

I shall be back soon. Have a lovely day!

hugs
