Henry with Bauble

I have made this card for my eldest daughter using my new Grand Calibur die cutting machine. I have used XXL Frame Frilly #2 from Go Kreate to create the shaped card and layers.


The image is a Whiff of Joy stamp called 'Henry Mouse with Christmas Bauble', coloured with promarkers. I have touched up the bauble with gold stickles glitter glue.


The backing papers and christmas tree are from Nitwits Collection 'Heavenly'.

From our house to yours

I have made this card for a fellow crafter.......

This insert is from Bearly Mine Digi Sets 'Christmas Inserts' to match the backing paper used on the front of the card.

It has been layered onto gold card.

Image is from hAnglar and stAnglar coloured with Promarkers and layered onto gold card. I have applied Polar White Flowersoft to the fluffy part of her hat and gold Stickles Glitter glue to the basket and bow of the parcel.

Tumbled Glass Tim Holtz Distressing Ink was used around the image to remove some of the white area.

The large embossed circle around the image is Marianne Design Creatable die.

The heart is a Sizzix die and it has been covered with Pinflair Ice Diamond Glitter.

The sentiment is from Lily of the Valley.

The laced ribbon and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The leaves are created using a Martha Stewart punch.

I have used my new Martha Stewart 'Cherish' punch to create the shape which the image has been printed on and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Scattered Straw and Walnut Stain distressing inks.

The flowers have been created using a Marianne Design die cut and the leaves have been punched out using a Martha Stewart leaf punch.

The sentiment was sent to me by a fellow crafting buddy in a image swap.

Let It Snow!!!

The hAnglar stAnglar image has been stamped up for me by a crafting friend which I have had for sometime now and this was just the type of card to use it on. I have coloured it with Promarkers and touched up with Glamour Dust.

The large silver snowflake is a christmas tree decoration that I have recently bought. The smaller snowflakes have been punched out using a Woodware and Tonic punch.
