Jolly Santa

I created this card to give some good friends for Christmas, I used my Mintay The Sweetest Christmas Collection again - no pinks on this one though.

Lots of my favourite fussy cutting again, I layered all of the elements up using foam pads, this card will be hand delivered so I didn't need to keep it flat.  I also decorated the inside using the same papers.

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.

Christmas Snow

This is the final card that I created for our neighbours this year.

It is similar to the other two that I created, just a slightly different scene again and this time I have used Holly and Ivy to decorate.

Blue Poinsettia

This is another Christmas card created with my Stamperia Winter Tales Collection, this time I have used a beautiful Poinsettia image.

I have used two of the beautiful papers, I added a Poinsettia that was also cut from some of the papers and a couple of die cut snowflakes.  As before I added white chalk paint around the outside of the papers and the image and added some glitter whilst the paint was still wet.

The Sweetest Christmas

This time I have been playing with my Mintay The Sweetest Christmas Collection, there are lots of super elements that you can fussy cut in this collection so I was in my element!

I layered up some fussy cut elements using foam tape for dimension and cut the sentiment from the strip that contains the company information on the bottom of the collection sheets.

I decided to create a 'Twist and Pop' card and used a strip of images from the image sheet, there are three strips of four toppers so you could create three cards this way, there are two sheets of toppers so you still have plenty to make more cards.

The last Tree

You will be pleased to know that this is the last of the cards that I made with my Marianne CrafTables die and Simply Creative Frosted Winter papers - had to cut five trees to get five different papers to paper piece on the die so I had to create five cards, I couldn't possible throw any pieces away!

I just added a piece of the Frosted Winter papers across the bottom and a couple of LOTV sentment tags, the Pom Pom trim has been in my stash for ages, I'm getting quite good at using up my bits and bobs.

Christmas Cottage

This is another of the cards that I have created to give to our neighbours this year, it is very similar to the one that I shared earlier, just a slightly different scene and different flowers.

As before, the image is from my La Pashe The Best of 2012 CD-ROM, the Christmas Roses are also from the CD, I fussy cut them and layered them up with foam pads.  To create the background I used my Crafter's Companion Snow Embossing Folder.  The verse on the inside is from the Sketchy Christmas Word Art collection by the DigiStamp Boutique.

Winter Tales

You will be pleased to see that I have a change from Christmas Tree cards today - I created this card with my Stamperia Winter Tales Collection, this is a beautiful collection full of lovely winter blues.

I decided on a shabby chic design, I edged the papers and image with white chalk paint and added glitter whilst it was still wet.  I cut the Poinsettia with an old Spellbinders die and the sentiment and snowflakes are from Crafter's Companion.
