Snow Flurry

Hello Everyone,

Happy Bathurst Day.  Yes, today is the day for all the motor enthusiasts who enjoy the V8 racing in Australia.  It's the biggest day on the motor racing calendar and I'm so glad my husband is home to record it all for himself this year.

I wanted to add another quick couple of Christmas Cards to my stash today and made these using some of last year's Christmas products, namely the Snow Flurry Bigz die and the Northern Flurry embossing folder, which is still available to purchase.  I've combined these with our new neutral colour Smoky Slate as the base of both cards.


This one also uses the Label stamp from the set Everything Eleanor and greeting is from Greetings of the Season stamp set, with a touch of Winter Frost dsp.  Here is a closeup of the layered label with the Glimmer snowflake.


The next card I made introduces Blushing Bride card into the mix with the Snowflake.  It's a very simple design inspired by an all white card I saw on Pinterest.


Both of my cards here feature the Northern Flurry Embossing folder and Greetings of the Season stamp set, plus the Snowflake Flurry Bigz die.

I love this colour combo, so pretty.


The centre of my snowflake on this card is topped with one of the new Frosted Finishes embellishments.  I love them.










Thanks for calling in to see todays cards.  Hope you are having a wonderful weekend everyone.
See you next week.

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
