Tis the Season

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some Festive inspiration using their super fun new Brad the Reindeer Die.

I started by cutting out my background layers all in glitter card for lots of sparkle. My snowflake I layered two different snowflake Dies to form my snowflower adding lots of bling onto it. This was then placed onto my Holly Flourish which I cut into sections and placed around my snowflower.

Brad was cut out in a mixture of kraft, cream and glitter cardstock. I added a little Distress Ink onto the edges of his face. The antlers I used Distress Powder and a white Embossing powder for added texture.

My Icicles and Snowflakes have all been cut out of white glitter card for a nice frosty feel and added onto my tattered layers, you will also notice I tucked some of my Snowflakes between layers.

My Poinsettias I added a snowflake into the centres along with some sparkly Stamens. My Holly flourish was cut into sections and placed around my flowers and the pine branches were heat embossed with a sparkling Embossing powder.

Merry Christmas

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am showcasing some of their fabulous Christmas dies on my Festive Vintage styled card.

I started by layering up several of my stacker dies with foam strips between some layers and glued flat on others. My gold edging was created by rubbing my die cut on my Versamark ink pad and heat setting Gold Embossing Powder.

My Holly Flourish and Sentiment were also heat embossed, adding some red bling to look like berries. I love the size of this sentiment as it makes a great feature on your card.

My Poinsettia's were cut out in cream cardstock inking at the edges and adding Gold Flowersoft to the centres. I mounted onto my card with some foliage.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you feel inspired to start making your Christmas Cards. Good luck to everyone entering the Bi-Weekly Challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Someone Special at Christmas

Hi Everyone, sorry I am still behind catching up with your blogs after my holiday but I am rather poorly with two different infections at the moment, but hope to catch up very soon if I haven't already.This week the challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is Christmas and I couldn't resist playing along, so this is my DT card for this week, as I love making Festive cards and getting the Glitter out.

I started by cutting out my paper with the image of Santa on it, mounting onto green card and I then dropped a little Stickles into the centre of all the tiny holes around the frame of my Horizon Stacker die.

My sentiment was stamped adding some Stickles and Distress ink for a Vintage look, layering onto my die cuts with a little Silicone Glue.

My foliage was cut and curled slightly with my embossing tool and mat. I then added some red gems to look like berries for added detail.

My Poinsettias were made be shading white card stock with Distress Stains and a gold Mica spray. Once the card stock was dry I die-cut out my flowers, shaped on my embossing mat and added some glittered stamens to the centre.

Thanks for stopping by today, as always your comments are greatly appreciated.
