Hi Everyone, Welcome to the Wednesday challenge this week at the Paper Craft Crew .  It's a colour challenge this time and these look like perfect Christmas Colours to me. I've used them to make a Flip Christmas card and I pulled out my retired Label card thinlit die for it using some Christmas paper from This Christmas designer paper pack.  The cardstock I've chosen is Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and some Very Vanilla.  I've used the Santa's Sleigh bundle for the Tree and reindeer on this card and I pulled out my Wonderful Wreath set for the sentiments on the flip front and back.  A series of photos are below to show the panels which is a bit more difficult with a flip card.

Hi Everyone, Welcome to the Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge.  This week we have a CAS Christmas card challenge and look forward to seeing what you come up with.  I've been working on Christmas cards for a while, started in July and I've finished running all my Christmas card classes.  They are cards everyone enjoys to make and to receive. Here's mine using Santa's Sleigh Bundle.  The cardstock is Early Espresso, Whisper White, Real Red, Tip Top Taupe, Mossy Meadow and a tiny little bit of Red Glimmer for the bow. The embossing folder is a favourite called Woodlands. I also made a second card along these lines with the Sleigh from the bundle and the Softly Falling embossing folder for the background.  This one doesn't have the ribbon and the greeting was changed for a customer order. Closeup of the sleigh And here's a pic of the cards from my recent Christmas card class. We look forward to you joining us this week at Stamp...

Hi everyone, Welcome to another challenge at Stamp Ink Paper .  This week we have a theme. I've used some Soft Suede card on this one combined with Copper foil, Copper embossing powder and Copper thread with some retired Textured birch paper.  Not sure exactly what it was called but its on a roll and came in a bundle a couple of years back. The sentiment comes from the Paisleys & Posies stamp set and has been heat embossed with copper embossing powder. In the bottom left corner I've used one of the dies from the Paisley framelits cut from Copper foil.  Thanks so much for checking in today.  I hope you like my card.  There is plenty more inspiration for you at the Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge and we hope you will join us. Have a great day.

Hi Everyone, I was recently commissioned to make a bunch of Christmas Cards.  This was the design I came up with for my customer using the Wonderous Wreath stamp set and Wonderful Wreath matching framelits.  She wanted 25 cards. Here they are:- I've used the Softly Falling embossing folder on the Whisper White background of all these cards and used a base card of Emerald envy with a mat of Real Red. The Christmas banner comes from the Stamp Set Time of Year and the separate flowers down the bottom have been cut with the Blooming Hearts framelits.  Here's a closer look. The Wishes down the bottom of the card comes from a greeting off the Santa's Sleigh stamp set which I cut with one of the frames from the Bunch of Banners framelits. Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you've had a great weekend.

Hi Everyone, Happy Birthday Jayden, The card I'm sharing with you today is a Birthday card I made for a friend of my daughter, for his 18th last week. The cardstock is Basic Gray, Basic Black, and Smoky Slate.  The woodpanel background is from a retired Printed Paper Stack.  The Basic Black panel has been embossed with the Elegant Dots embossing folder and the 18 was cut out with the Large Number framelits. I've used a vintage greeting from a set I love called Well Scripted and some Washi tape has been used on more Basic Black card to create a border under the sentiment. Thank you for stopping by to see.  Have a great weekend.
