Wishing you a Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas to all my friends in blogland. Today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing a Vintage styled Festive card using one of their beautiful Cardmaker Dies. I do love the intricate lace look to these dies and how they make a quick and very effective background to a card.

Once I cut mine out I tattered the edges for a shabby feel and pressed the edges into my embossing ink pad and heat embossed some Red Tinsel powder. Layering onto my other cardstock layers and adding some Glass Glitter to the edges for sparkle.

My Snowflake Doily was also heat embossed with Red Tinsel and cut in half and layered behind my Sentiment tag which had also been tattered at the edges, mounting on Noel.

My Poinsettia was cut in cream cardstock inking at the edges, adding micro beads to the centre finishing with a little Liquid Snow and Glass Glitter, mounting onto my glittered Holly Leaves.

Merry Christmas Shaker Gift Bag

Hi everyone, today for ny DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some Christmas inspiration using their wonderful Shaker Dies on a gift bag measuring 8" x 10" approx excluding the handles, which I have decorated. So let me take you through the techniques on my die cuts.

I used the Lattice Valance Border at the sides of my bag gluing onto a red strip of card and then mounting onto my cream cardstock, finishing with a border of Red Stickles.

I started my centrepiece by cutting my large Snowflake in half and accenting behind my stacker layer. My Shaker Bells were heat Embossed with an Antique Copper, rubbing a little black Archival ink at the edges to age them. I filled one with Shaker Confetti listed below, small beads and Micro beads, mounting the other to the side as an accent of bells ringing.

My Poinsettia's were cut out in cream cardstock inking at the edges and adding a mix of Micro beads to the centres. My Robin was shaded with Distress ink and black Liquid Pearls added for his eye.

I added a lot of foliage onto my design and finished off with some Liquid Snow and Glass Glitter for a frosty look that glistens so lovely when it catches the light.

My Merry Christmas was heat embossed with Red Tinsel Embossing Powder for more sparkle. Finishing my bag off with a pretty bow and an accent of lace.

You're Special to Me

Hi everyone, today for my DT post with Craft Consortium I am sharing a card made using the beautiful vintage floral 12x12 pad called Wild Rose.

I tattered the layers of paper for a vintage feel layering onto my card. My lace was shaded with Distress Stain to coordinate with the soft pink in the paper for added detail.

I stamped my sentiment adding onto my crackled frame with an accent of an elegant butterfly fussy cut from the Gypsy Gypsy paper pad.

I love the effect of pollen being blown onto my die cut leaves and flowers when cut out of the patterned paper from the Wild Rose Paper pad.

Thanks so much for stopping by today to see my card and do check out Craft Consortium to see their vast range of stunning embellishments, paper pads and Decoupage papers on Facebook for inspiration and regular giveaways, you will also find them on Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram.
