Christmas Time

I thought, as I had my Graphic 45 Christmas Time collection out, I would create another couple of Christmas cards and this is the first of them.

This one didn't quite end up as I had imagined it would but never mind.  I used two of the fabulous papers from the 8 x 8" paper pad along with some elements from the Cut-Apart sheets.

This is the final card that I have created with my 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Shore collection, for a while anyway!

I have used two of the papers, the fishtail flag that I have used as the image is cut from the reverse of the papers that are in the background.  Everything is from the collection except the string that I used to tie the bow.

'Tis the Season

I have created this card to enter into this months Rudolph Days Challenge, the theme is anything Christmas goes.

I used my Graphic 45 Christmas Time collection, another fabulous Graphic 45 collection.  I fussy cut the Santa, you get two of each page so I cut two, one the complete image and a second the Santa and sack only so that I could add some dimension.  I used a cream card base and just covered two thirds with the lovely plaid paper before adding my Santa using foam pads.  The sentiment is also from the collection and I added some hand made card candi, I used colours to match the baubles that are falling out of Santa's sack.

I would like to enter this card into the October Rudolph Days Challenge.

This is the third card that I have created with my 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Shore collection.

I have only used one of the papers this time, the wood-grain is from the Craft Consortium Wood Textures paper pad and I've been doing some more tearing.  All of the other elements are from the die cut sheets, including the fishing net and the seaweed.

Let's make Waves

This is another card that I have created with my 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Shore collection, a very simple design this time.

I cut four strips of paper and decided to do some paper tearing, the sentiment is from my stash and the shell and seaweed is from the die cut sheet.

Sunflower Cottage

This is another card that I have created with my Sunflower Cottage collection from NitWit.

The best thing about digital collections is that you can print them out as many times as you like, I always find I have favourite papers and toppers in collections and I use them up quickly, with digital collections you can print them again and again.  This is another topper that I have printed several times and fussy cut to create layers of dimension - I know it is not everyone's cup of tea but I love it.  The pretty papers are also from the collection, all I have added is some yellow card stock from my stash.

Shore

I have just discovered another great company - 49 and Market, I know I'm late to the party, they are currently celebrating their fifth Anniversary but they are new to me. They have the most beautiful collections, the 12 x 12 Mini Collection Packs are quite small, containing four sheets of double sided patterned card stock and two sheets of die cut toppers - I like that they are quite small, it means that I manage to use them all up.

The first collection that I have purchased is called Vintage Artistry Shore, as you can see has a nautical theme.  I have created a simple card using two of the papers and three of the die cut elements.  The little border strips are waste, they are the reverse of the strips that contain the company information from the bottom of the card stock sheets - it is card stock rather than patterned paper.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.
