Christmas Shop

These are the other two cards that I created for the latest Die-cutting Essentials Special Edition, it includes a fabulous free craft kit worth over £40.

I was asked to create three Christmas themed cards using the free craft kit.

As I said in my previous post, this commission was a bit of a challenge as I was struggling with ill health at the time and I am not very pleased with the cards that I created.

For the first card I used the icicle embossing folder that is in the kit and die cut the shop front from some wood grain card stock.  The striped papers. shop sign and window scene are also included in the kit.

For the second card I die cut the shop front window from one of the papers included in the kit and trimmed the window and door of the shop front that I die cut from white card stock.  I created the snow covered roof using one of the embossing folders and added a window scene behind the window.

Both of the sentiments are from Craftwork Cards.

Birthday Flowers

This is the first card that I have created with this months Craftwork Cards November Stamp Club stamp set.

I used papers from the Vintage Dreams Paper Pad and coloured the stamp with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens.  I lightly distressed the edges of everything and inked them with Distress Inks.

I stamped the flowers and leaves from this months stamp set and several previous stamp club stamp sets.  I fussy cut them and layered some of them up for dimension.

Birthday Cake

It was my husbands Birthday yesterday and this is the card that I made for our youngest son to give him.

I created the background with Distress Oxide inks and used my Tim Holtz Birthday Blueprint stamps - these have been sitting in my stash for ages so I thought it was time that I had a play with them!

I created the sentiment with my Dymo Label Maker.

Thanks so much

This is another card that I have created with the Julie Loves Autumn Sketches collection.

I kept this card quite simple, I used one of the non coloured papers along with my Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders One.

The sentiment is from an old Craftwork Cards stamp set and I fussy cut the flower from one of the papers in the Julie Loves kit.

60 Years Young

This is the final card that I created for Simply Cards & Papercraft using the Apple Blossom Large Numbers and Suffixes die set along with the matching stamp set.

I created the background by die cutting the numbers from card stock and adhering them to the card front.

I die cut and heat embossed the '60' and 'Years Young' sentiment and then added lots of gems around the outside.

Wishing you a Beautiful Day

This is the third card that I have created with the Julie Loves Autumn Sketches collection.

I used one of the solid coloured papers with leaves printed on it and coloured one of the plain papers with leaves on it with my Spectrum Noir Colorista pens, the bottom layer is a very pale pink and matches the background on the top papers perfectly.

I cut a strip of sentiments and popped out some die cut flowers - both included in the kit, I also coloured some leaves black and fussy cut them.  Everything has been layered on black card stock.

Coffee Shop

Have you seen the latest Die-cutting Essentials Special Edition that is now in the shops, it includes a fabulous free craft kit worth over £40.

I was asked to create three Christmas themed cards using the free craft kit.

I have to admit that this commission was a bit of a challenge as I was struggling with ill health at the time but this is one of the cards that I created.

I used the shop front die, one of the three embossing folders and some of the super papers all from the free craft kit, I added a sentiment from Craftwork cards.
