A warm and cosy Christmas card.

I used an LOTV die cut and sentiment. This is the ultimate warm and cosy picture!!

I made the snowflake embellishment by punching two snowflakes on matching papers. I decorated it with glitter glue and added the gems.
I cut and offset the circles abd I embossed the top one with a swirl pattern and highlighted it with red distress ink.

The LOTV sentiment is ‘warmest thoughts and best wishes’. I used a MS punch on the horizontal paper.

A nice cup of tea!

I wanted to make a card for a female friend who is very supportive and we enjoy chatting over a cup of tea. I thought a vintage/ distressed look was appropriate. I thik this is real girl power- the support we give each other!

I used a LOTV die cut but added in some extra colour using Promarkers in a couple of places and added  Background too. Papers were from stash and the cream card at the back was coloured using brown distress ink as were the edges of the card and die cut.
The ribbon is a beautiful brown and beige.
Not a colour combination I use mch but I like it for this card!

First time using distressing today.

I used lavender and brick red distress inks on the edge of the LOTV die cut. I used textured paper and used the two distress inks on them. I ripped the edges of the smaller paper.

I couldn’t get a very good photo of the flowers I put together. They are made of two layers of petals which I highlighted with the distress inks and then pink glitter glue. I put them together with glossy accents and added a pearl embellishment to the middle.

A second card tonight. This is for a friend who loves gardening.

The card layout is based on one I saw on Create and Craft TV- I’m afraid I can’t remember who was making it to give them credit!!
The backing paper is lilac with some sky blue and isn’t showing up too well here but it is lush! It is from Snowman papers. The sky blue and lilac card is from stash. The lilac ribbons were cut out of clothes and saved! The sky blue butterfly embellishment is from stash.

This is another great LOTV die cut. Once again I have added some colours to get a better match to the card I decided to add grass, leaves and some more lilac on the flowers. I also added the sky blue ribbon to the hat to match the card.

I thought I’d go for something a bit simpler today!

The paper was made using Craft Artist. The sentiment was a freebie and I added a couple of buttons from my stash. I added some red and white stickles to the LOTV die cut.

I used Craft Artist software to match the colours in the inspiration photo for the colour create challenge and then printed the papers.

I used a LOTV die cut and sentiment but recoloured to get a better match for the colours I wanted.

I used my snowflake punch again to cut snowflakes in shiny grey and glittery lilac paper. I then curled them slightly, layered them at an angle and stuck a lilac gem in the middle.

Another Christmas card using a beautiful LOTV die cut with cute penguins holding their Let It Snow banner (can’t afford to get many stamps so these die cuts are great!) and LOTV Let It Snow sentiment stamped in red distress ink. I used sticky pearls for snowflakes and highlighted the snow and snowflakes on the sentiment with white stickles.

I’ve made my first snowflake embellishments using a snowflake punch on some shiny and frosted cards together. I took some left over flower pins from my wedding (from Michael Dark) and cut off the heads to fix to the middle of the snowflakes using glossy accents.
I also used left overorganza ribbon from the wedding.
