Snowflake Card Using Fiskerettes Prize

Hello again!

Two posts in such a short space of time - a first for me! 

I was very fortunate to win a Fiskers Snowflake punch from a competition on the Fiskarettes Facebook page. I like their Facebook page as it gives inspiration and ideas on how to use their products and general tutorials which are very useful. 

As soon as I got the punch my two sons were punching out snowflakes galore! When they were safely in bed I created the card below which has a snowflake theme - printed, embossed, coated wooden and the addition of the punched metallic snowflakes.

I used organza ribbon to form a double bow and added a wooden snowflake to the middle of it. A metallic marker and a covering of silver glitter glue transformed the wooden snowflake.  You can see it better in the photo below:

Thank you for looking and any comments you care to leave are much appreciated.

Merry Kissmas!

Happy Friday!

Today, I'd like to share a quirky card I made for a husband - not mine though! Thought I'd go a little cheeky and use 'Merry Kissmas' so based the rest of my card around that. 

I used lips and holly rub ons from my stash on the sentiment. I added red mirri card and lime green glitter card as backing onto holly paper.

Finally, I added a cute penguin holding a sprig of mistletoe which I thought was quite apt!  A couple of baubles, glitter glue, card candi and foil tape to embellish. 

Thank you for looking and any comments are much appreciated.

Christmas Wishes A4 Card

Hello!

I can't believe it's only another 2 days before the school holidays start for my boys! I've got so many gifts and cards still to make......

So, without further ado - an A4 Christmas card using the Trimcraft First Edition Christmas Wishes pad. I do love this pad and it's had a lot of use! The colours, glitter and prints all appeal to me. 

I used the paper to highlight the 25th by making a shaker frame that I coloured with a silver marker then added glitter glue. I added small sequins to it (below).

I covered wooden snowflakes in red glitter to add some more bling together with a topper from my stash. The sentiment is an old Craftwork cards one (as seen below).

Thank you for looking and any comments  are much appreciated.

Belle & Boo Xmas Shaker Card

Hello and it's the weekend! Yay!!!!

Today, I'd like to share a basic shaker card I've made from the Trimcraft Belle & Boo Christmas range. It's another range that has a lot of co-ordinating elements.

Firstly, I made the shaker topper by cutting out and constructing the découpage girl and fox. Then I cut out the frame, added acetate, double sided foam tape and some very pretty iridescent sequins (seen above).

Next, I matted and layered a sheet of paper and cut out a patterned strip from another sheet. I matted the strip on green felt and added a sentiment and buttons (see below). 

Finally, I added the topper and a few embellishments to complete the card as shown below. 

Thank you for looking and any comments are much appreciated.

Glad Tidings Twisted Easel Card

Hello!

Today, I'd like to share a twisted easel card I made using the Trimcraft Glad Tidings pad. 

I loved the stag image in the papers so co-ordinated it with an image from the embellishment pack as the focal point. 

I added snowflakes, sequins, a doilie and a bow all from the same range (see below).

Finally, on the bottom I added a wooden snowflake to act as a stopper for the card to stand (see below).

Thank you for looking and any comments you may have.

Baby Keepsake

Hello!

A friend of mine recently had a baby and I thought I'd make her a keepsake as a gift.

I bought a frame that could either be hung or kept standing. 

I began by choosing the paper. I wanted a pink/purple shade and the Trimcraft Pretty in Pink range was ideal for this, I added doilies and pearls from the same range. 

As I wanted to include the name, weight and date of birth I used alphabet dies for those. 

I arranged various elements inside the frame and then large paper flowers on the top of the frame to which I added glitter glue. 

I went to visit my friend yesterday and she loved the frame. Lillian was fast asleep - a beautiful baby.

Lone Reindeer - Christmas Wishes

Hello!

Today, I'd like to share another card made with the First Edition Christmas Wishes pad. 

The focal point for this card is the stamped reindeer image which I have covered lightly with silver glitter glue to get a shimmer (see photo below).

I've used various papers from the pad to matt and layer then added some gems, bow and twine to embellish. 

Thank you for looking and any comments.
