Clean and Simple Christmas

Hello Everyone,

Just sharing a few more cards today from my recent Card Buffet.  I was digging through some of my retired stuff to create this design and came across the Holiday Frame Embossing folder which was available in last year's Holiday Catalogue.

This CAS design is so quick to make and to replicate should you want to do a batch of them.


The cardstock on this one is Island Indigo and Whisper White.  I've used dsp behind the embossed white layer from the Winter Frost stack.  Here is a closer look at the Ornament that I've cut from Dsp from the Specialty pack of the same name and some silver glimmer paper.


The Holiday Ornament Framelits have been used on both my cards here and are still available for purchase from the carryover flyer from the 2012 Holiday catalogue.  Here is the next card.


It's the same with a different ornament from the framelits cut from the Silver Glimmer with a Smoky Slate card base and some of the dsp added to the ornament.

These cards were the most popular from the card buffet, because they were quick and also elegant.  Go figure.  Have a closer look at this one.  I added some pearls to the strip of dsp.


Thanks for calling in today.  Hope you're having a fantastic weekend.

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

Image
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
