World Cardmaking Day - Snowman (Jolly Old Saint Nick)

Hello Everyone,

I hope you've had a wonderfully productive World Cardmaking Day.  I certainly have.  I have 7 cards totally complete, 5 more almost complete and another 6 which are still a work in progress.  Overall that's a pretty good effort considering it was too nice of a day to spend indoors the whole time, plus Mum's taxi was in service.



I've used a vintage set here called Jolly Old Saint Nick for this particular batch of cards I've made that I want to show you today.  The snowman from the set has been stamped in Pool Party Ink onto a tag and the Pool Party background which is adhered to a white card basse was embossed with the Lucky Stars embossing folder.   I've added some of the Frosted Sequins randomly over the card as well.



I actually got 7 of these completed today.  There they all are.  The look cool in a bunch and are perfect to send overseas to our friends in the Northern Hemisphere who actually do experience a White Christmas.



As I said, it was a very nice day today so I took a few happy snaps outdoors in my garden as well. 




I will be back to show you more Christmas Cards tomorrow from my efforts today.  
Hope you have a fabulous day.

    Hi Carolyn, I love the colours in your card, but then I love blues in Christmas cards rather than what some people consider traditional colours. I wish that little vintage snowman wasn't "vintage". He looks exactly how I picture Frosty the Snowman.

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.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
