Some Chrissy cards with new colour Soft Sky


Hi Everyone,

Don't you love trying out new colours for Christmas?  I know I do and I simply adore the new colour thats made its way into our Catalogue called Soft Sky.  If you've been an SU addict for a few years now, you may remember this as an In colour which has now been reintroduced to the range.

I've used our Holiday Framelits for these cards as well as a few greetings from various Christmas Stamp sets Greetings of the Season and Snowflake Soiree and I've even managed to incorporate a new Stamp set Mosaic Madness into the mix.

Here is the first card, dubbed Merry Mosaics

I've created a window with the Ornament framelit and pierced around the edges.  I've then cut another ornament from the Silver Glimmer paper to sit in the window.  So that it wasn't plain glimmer I've stamped one of the borders from the Mosaic Madness stamp set with Black Stazon onto an accetate strip to adhere across the Ornament.  It was fixed to the back of the Soft Sky panel.  The base of my card is Midnight Muse and I've stamped the Mosaics and greeting in that ink too.  I've punched separately the Mosaic pieces and added Rhinestones to their centres and added another smaller ornament cut with framelits to dangle from the top mosaic.  More Rhinestones and ribbon complete this card.

The next card was a little different.  My whole card is Soft Sky this time and I've cut another window and pierced around the cutout.  I also cut another Silver Glimmer ornament, but this time, it was adhered to the inside of my card.  I've used a panel cut from the Lattice die to create a pattern over the silver and added a tiny punched mosaic to the centre, raised on foam.

Here is my Peace on Earth Ornament framelits card.

When it's closed you can see the glimmer inside.


There is a tiny bit of Raspberry ripple used to stamp the greeting and the centre mosaic and glimmer paper added to the border and under the greeting and the Needlepoint Border Embossing folder finishes the bottom edge of the card off.  Add a few more pearls and this card is done.

I can see Soft Sky being used often.  Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy 4th July to all my US friends.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
