Joyful Christmas - World Cardmaking Day

Hello Everyone,

As you know from my post, yesterday was World Cardmaking Day.  Today is actually my Wedding Anniversary.  We've been married for 29 years, but yet another anniversary missed with my husband working away.  (I'll share the Anniversary card I made tomorrow.)

I decided to create another card for World Cardmaking Day with Joyful Christmas stamp set and the Circle Framelits.
I've created another Easel card, this time with a circle cut out of the centre and my Pointsettia is suspended within the circle.  This photo gives you a better idea of this fold and how the cutout looks from the back.


This is a closer look at the front


The cardstock used is Confetti White for the base, Island Indigo for the front, Silver Glimmer for the circular frame and Vellum for the embossed Pointsettia.

Closeup of the greeting
The dsp is from the specialty pack called Winter Frost.

Note:  Don't forget about the Late Night Stampers Fall Treasure Hunt.  It's not too late to collect your 50 clues and be entered into the draw for your Country.  I am offering Blog Candy.  See my original post here
I have updated some more blogs to the list.

Thanks so much for stopping by for a look.  Hope you've been having a wonderful weekend.

    Happy Anniversary!. Lovely card. Strill trying to figure out how you "suspended" the poinsettia!

      Thanks Louise, it will become much more obviously when I post the next card, using an ornament, which is alot smaller. You will then see the fine elastic that runs from top to bottom.

    This looks quite big to suspend but it seems to be working. So good. Vx

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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
