The Snowman

Hello, this is another card I designed for J&C Creations.  The backing paper is from the Wild Rose Studio Xmas Bella paper pad plus a bit of pink mirror card.

The Snowman is die cut from a Marianne Creatables die - Snowman (LR0246) using Coconut card, coloured with Distress Markers and matted onto an oval cut from holographic mirror card using Spellbinders Nestabilities Decorative Elements Floral Ovals (S4-356).

The Snowflake is die cut using mirror card and Marianne Creatables Snowflake (LR0125).

The flower is a Gardenia (plus added glitter glue) from Wild Orchid Craft and the leaves die cut using silver mirror card and Marianne Creatables Mistletoe Twigs (LR0245).

Unfortunately the sentiment doesn't show up very well but it is from the Penny Black T for Transparent set Christmas Cheer using pink pigment ink.

Blue Anniversary

Hello, this is the second anniversary card I made.  

I have used a page from Bo Bunny Weekend Market Collection with a die cut image from Little Clair which I bought at the Sincerely Yours craft show in Biggin Hill in September.  The words are cut using Britannia dies again.

This one is a bit LIM for me and another reason why I don't enjoy doing men's cards particularly - I like flowers not wooden buttons with a bit of twine!

Pink Anniversary

Hello, I have been away for the weekend down to Battle.  The hotel was very comfortable but apart from Saturday, the weather was awful!  We couldn't walk the battleground at Battle Abbey because the rain had turned it into a quagmire and it had been closed on safety grounds!  Still, it was a lovely rest.

Today's card uses an old Hobby Art wooden stamp called Blooming and has been coloured with Polychromos pencils with Sansodor.  The background pink foiled card is Hunkydory and the paper Spring Flowers from cArt-Us.

The flower is 2 die cuts from the middle-sized Tattered Blossoms die from Heartfelt Creations and available from J&C Creations.  The leaves are from the Magnolia Doohickey Leaf and Swirl die.

The "Happy Anniversary" has been cut using Britannia word dies.

Snowflake Rosette

Hello, today I have a card designed for J&C Creations using a Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Snowflake Rosette die.  I have also used a Marianne Creatables Snowflake die (LR0185) and a Cheery Lynn small Merry Christmas die.

The backing paper is by Best Creation (GP172) and the white snowflake cut from foundation paper.  All these are available from J&C.  The backing card is Core'dinations.

Contemporary Christmas

Hello, Today I have the card I made for J&C Creations October Challenge - Contemporary Christmas.  If you pop over to the J&C Creations Challenge website here you will find all the details of how to enter.

This is a take on the article in November's Craft Stamper called "Glittering Ice" by Joanne Allison on page 12.  I have used the same embossing folder - Sizzix Tim Holtz Texture Fade: Cracked but used the snowflakes from Spellbinders Shapeabilities 2012 Snowflake Pendant (S5-117) and Marianne Designs Creatables Snowflakes (LR0125) both available from J&C Creations on-line shop.

I used pearl card for the embossing and silver mirror/glitter card for the snowflakes.
