Snowman Fun Fold

Another Christmas card for my stash!

I went with a fun fold and items used were

Anna Marie Designs papers

Polkadoodles Vintage Snowman stamps and dies

Tutti Designs snowflakes

Markers to colour

Ice star stencil (Dutch Doobadoo) with TH 

crystal embossing paste.

Dotty stencil (SU) with gold ink.

Sentiment stamps - Snowman Season (SU).

It's a very simple fold but looks pretty.

And room on the back to add a verse.

Faux stepper!

Another card for a customer for her Granddaughter.

I went with a fun fold shape and the image is

from Mo's Digital Pencil called Coffee.

She has been coloured up with markers

and cut in an oval shape.

The papers are retired ones from SU.

I punched out some flowers and leaves

to decorate and then stamped the

sentiments using 

Itty Bitty Birthdays & A Grand Kid (SU).

I finished with a bow and some

card candi.

Here is the side view

A simple faux step card.

I added the verse to the back

of the card.

Crooked photo not crooked card lol.

Shutter birthday card

It's coming up to my one and only Aunt's

birthday and I always like to make her

a shaped card, so this is what I did.

I used a die from Tattered Lace for the shutter card.

Papers and card from my stash, probably SU.

I stamped the flowers using a set called

Country Flowers (SU), coloured with markers.

I die cut some butterflies and lacy borders

and punched some flowers and leaves for

decoration.

Centre Step Card

My one and only sister-in-law's 60th birthday

is coming this month and this is

the card I made.

I used papers from Craftwork Cards,

The stamped and die cut embellishments are

from an old SU set called Dressed to Impress.

I made the flowers using a die set called Paper Floristry (SU).

Sentiments are from Itty Bitty Birthdays

and I die cut the numbers a few times in fun foam

and paper.

I used a Tattered Lace die for the base of the card

and finished it off with a bow, flowers and gems.

We are off to the dentist today for a check up.

Fingers crossed neither of us needs anything done!

Beautiful Balloons

I made this card for my nephew Brendan from his Granny.

He is turning 40 next month!!

I went with a fun fold celebration card using 

Beautiful Balloons stamps and die.

The fold is nothing exciting, just two creased, concertina folded

and a front added.

I used Country Woods papers as they have a nice manly feel.

I stamped and die cut lots of balloons and some stars for the top.

I used the Alphabest set for the numbers on the balloon.

Inside I stamped the sentiment on the left along with some candles

from a set called Approaching Perfection.

The sentiment on the right has been printed from my computer

and die cut with a rectangle die.

Oh Christmas Tree!

A Christmas card, I know!!

I came across a card on Pinterest that I liked the look of.

There is a tutorial for it on Iced Images but I wanted to make

one just using a pre folded card base.

I cut the tree pieces to suit the height of my card,

ran it through the dotty embossing folder then cut it down in 1"

pieces, reducing the width for each slice.

I then cut at an angle on each piece to form the tree.

The base is just a rectangle cut in two and I embossed

it with lines on my embossing board.

I added some punched stars in silver to the top

and the sentiment was stamped onto a circle of the same paper

from a stamp set called Snowman Season (SU),

backed onto a die cut circle in silver.

The sentiment inside is from the same set

stamped in black ink.

Another one for my slowly growing pile!
