And Finally... Santa Collage

I finally found time to make the last of my Christmas cards and what a better way to finish than with old St Nicholas himself I think this has to be my favourite Christmas stamp of all (Santa Collage) the flourish and sentiment image are from a Papertrey ink stamp set (Silent Night)

Attention to detail...

I added heavy lace under the stamped image and on the base card I used a Stampin Up wheel with a holly stamp and heat embossed with gold detail powder.

On the image below you can see that I wrapped a gold thread around the right hand side of the card, the sizzix bigz floral die was glittered along with the punched out snowflake for extra texture.

You're my Best

Couldn't you just snuggle up and give him a hug.

I tried to keep the colour matching with card and papers to the Promarker colours I used.

The image digital stamp image is from Digital Pencil Too and is called You're my Best.

Lots of layering to mount the image a pretty paper from Stampin Up and ribbon to finish.

Attention to detail...

I added shadows in a shade darker pens to areas that needed it.

If you click on the image it will enlarge and give you a better view of this.

Bye Bye - Off to Granny's

I thought these images from Digital pencil Too would make a perfect GrandMother card, it reminded me so much of my 2 girls running over to their Nanna's to raid the cake tin lol!

On another note it would also make a great fun wedding cardwith a note saying and they lived happily ever after.

Attention to detail...

I matched the inside of the gatefold card in the same theme as the front edging the insert with red gingham amd using the scallop border punch to give a fancy edge.

The little flowers were punched out from a corner punch I have, I dotted the centre of the flowers in red glued them in place and using a white pen dashed some faux stitching.

I love the detail in these images the Bye bye girl has a ladybug backpack and the Bye bye boy has a car backpack cute, cute, cute.

Navy Iced

Navy and ice white card.

The tree is a stamp from the set As lovely as a tree from Stampin Up, stamps onto navy coloured card then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then punched out the border using a Martha Stewart Border Punch.

The white iced card is embossed with the cuttlebug folders Vicyoria and Snowflakes.

I layered all the card together then finished with a Snowflake charm a ribbon and Stickle Ice glitter glue over the tree.
