Merry Christmas
Hi bloggers! I used the Cut Corner Rectangles die set and cut the two largest dies and matted them. I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I cut it into a modified slope, then peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Diamond Sprinkles. I glued it to the matted background. Next I cut the Christmas Village die set using jewel tones. I added a yellow backing to each of the village buildings then glued them on to the card. I used the small trees from the village set and added the horse drawn carriage from the Dashing Through The Snow sentiment. I cut a small blue circle and glued it into the top of the card. I added a Santa's Sleigh and reindeer. I used the Noble Merry Christmas cut out of cobalt blue card. I shadowed it in black then glued in the upper part of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 9 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hello Sue I am still making birthday cards my whole family have birthdays before Christmas and my sister in law is in a home and wants me to make her cards as well. So this is brilliant for batch making. Take care everyone x
Good morning Sue, A beautiful card today & I love all your dies you have used today. I especially love the noble Merry Christmas & cut corners rectangle dies. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful Christmas card this morning, love the way you have done the snow effect on the hill, it looks brilliant. Another one to add to my 'to do' list.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue. I lovr the cut corner die. And i love this beautiful Christmas card. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well.
This is certainly a different layout for your village scene & the horse drawn sleigh really finishes it off nicely. Like man6 others I am a real fan of DL cards. Thank you for all the ideas Sue.
Hi Sue. Love these cute little houses on this card, but my favourite bit is the way the cut corner rectangles have been layered up to give the impression of a plaque.
Hi Sue, I really liked this card when Jamie showed it on his programmes and I actually took a snapshot of it for reference in case it didn't come up on the blog. Although I don't yet have the Cut Corner Rectangles I have made something similar with other frames and am quite pleased with the result. It's good to have your instructions though.
Morning.

ReplyDeleteSorry Sue, whilst I like the design I feel it looks a little 'squashed in'. It may have been better on the larger rectangle die. WakeyL
ReplyDeleteThink this is a great post a bit on the modern side in concept instead of traditional, but somehow it works.....Do love the bigger sentiment though...
