A Very Merry Christmas To You

Hello my crafty friends! I started today's card by embossing a piece of white card with the Falling Snow embossing folder. Next I cut the all the trees from the SwirlyTree-O die set in a variety of colours.  I used Lilac, Teal, and aqua card to cut all the trees. I cut six trees in all the sizes and backed each of them with a white backing piece.  I added the trees to the card with mounting foam.  I cut the A Very Merry Christmas To You sentiment out of silver sparkle card and added a black shadow die to it.  I glued it to the upper corner of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

 Hi crafters!  I cut the Stained Glass Tulips die's outer die in bth white and black.  I shadowed the white die cut with the black one, then cut the middle die in white.  I layered it up on the outer die.  I cut the Tulip in black and added a white backing to it.  I cut the die again in Soft Lavender, green and amethyst card.  I used the fall away pieces from each cut to paper piece them back into place.  I cut the die one last time out of white card that had been glittered with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I paper pieced it in for the background to the tulips.  I used the Round Corner Squares and cut a white frame.  I added it over the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Best Wishes sentiment out of Soft Lavender card and added it to a white backing piece then attached it to the bottom o the frame.  The card was completed with white and soft lavender mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Have A Joyful Christmas

 Hello my crafty friends!  I cut the outer die from the Stained Glass Bells in white and backed it in white.  I cut the die two more times, once in red and once in green.  I used the fall away pieces and paper pieced them back into place in the diecut.  Using the Classic Poinsettia, I made two flowers and attached them to the left side of the die.  I cut the Have A Joyful Christmas in antique gold card and I shadowed it with gold mirror card.  I added the die cut to a larger piec of white card and ran double sided tape all the way around the edges, then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Gitterbitz over it.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Thinking Of You

Hello bloggers!  I selected some decoratives papers from my craft stash (not sure what brand they are as I have had them for quite some time).  I added the striped paper to the bottom of the dotty paper an added a thin red strip between the border.  Using the Double Stitched Rectangles, I made a thin frame cut from Taupe card.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and attached it to another piece of taupe card.  I attached it to the top of the card with mounting foam.  I cut Rufus out of tan card and added a gold crown, a small flower and an envelope in his mouth with a red heart on it.  I cut the food bowl out of deep red card and added a cream flower to it.  I cut the Thinking Of You sentiment out of deep red card and added it to a shadow backing die cut out of taupe card.  I added the sentiment below the focal element.  The card was completed with milk and deep red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

 Hello craftes!  I selected a piece of white card and used the die from the Ornate Lattice Border to cut into the card.  I cut the die again but out of black card this time.  I used it as an offset shadow behind the white card.  I backed it with a piece of orange card.  I cut the Stained Glass Harvest die starting with the outer frame which I cut in black.  I cut the middle die in white and layered it up.  I cut the Harvest die in blackand added a white backing to it.  I cut the die again in orange, green, silver, yellow, pale blue and brown and used the fall away pieces to paper piece back into the design.  I cut the Best Wishes sentiment in black and glued it below the border.  The card was ompleted with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Just Because

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of pale green card to use for the background.  Using the Double Stitched Circles, I cut two circular frames out of white card.  I added the frames with mounting foam to the background.  I cut Mittens twice.  Once in white card and once in slate grey card.  I added some details with markers to the cats.  I cut an envelope in white and added a pink heart then attached it to the grey cat's mouth.  I added a little grey mouse to the other cat's frame.  I cut the Just Because sentiment in black and glued it to the upper left corner and added some pink hearts as accents.  In the lower corner, I added some pink flowers cut from the Pinwheel Florals and accented them with white leaves.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Thinking Of You

Good Sunday morning all!  I embossed a piece of white card using the Padded Quilt Embossing Folder.  I cut two pieces of black card and added a thin piece of Rust card down the centre of them.  I gued both pieces diagonally across the coners.  I cut the Mittens die out of rust card and used a black marker to colour in the spots.  I tucked a white envelope in her mouth and added a red heart to it.  I cut the Thinking Of You sentiment in black and glued it above the kitty.  I added some red hearts as accents and cut a little grey mouse to add at her feet.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Happy Christmas

 Hello crafters!  I grabbed a pretty pixied piece from my background stash to use for today's card.  I used Aqua Lagoon and Teal Wash Pixie Powders to create the piece.  I cut a piece of white card then cut the pixied card on the diagonal and taped the two together.  I cut the Bubble Tree-O out of the leftover pixied card.  I added backing pieces to the trees that were cut out of the Silver Sparkle card.  I added the two trees with mounting foam on to the white part of the background.  I cut the Happy Chritmas sentiment out of both Silver Sparkle card and black card.  I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the silver die cut then glued it to the pixied card.  I added several clear water crystals as accents to the background.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are ???? in szie.  All for now, Sue x
