Posting Letters

Hi all,

I have a card to show you today using one of the lovely Wild Rose Studio Christmas images called ‘Posting Letters’. I am determined to get ahead with my Christmas cards this year and not leave things to the last minute!

 

The La La 'Christmas Tree' die-cut was stamped with one of the gorgeous stamps from the Whimsy 'Lavish Flourishes' stamp set and the sentiment is a Molly Blooms text stamp. All the stamps are currently available in our Spring sale!!!

The papers are Papermania ‘At Christmas Time’ which is such a versatile pack…a range of both contemporary and traditional designs…and great value for money!

Mimosa Waiting for Santa

Hi all,

I’m here today instead of Debs and I have a card to show you using one of the lovely Bildmalarna Christmas images called ‘Mimosa Waiting for Santa’...poor little Mimosa, she has a very long wait, hasn't she! But it's always good to get ahead with your Christmas cards and this year I'm determined not to be caught out again!

 

 

I do think these Bildmalarna images are so adorable… such cute innocent little faces that make your heart melt…and the good news is that this stamp is in our Spring sale! As is the Whimsy 'Christmas Sayings' Sentiment...

I’ve used a combination of papers on this card…and not all of them are Christmas papers! So which papers have I used…any guesses???

Recipe:

Stamps: Bildmalarna ‘Mimosa Waiting for Santa’; Whimsy 'Christmas Sayings' (sentiment) 

Papers: Docrafts Papermania 'At Christmas Time', Dovecraft 'Noel', Magnolia 'Calla of Paris', Graphic 45 '12 Days of Christmas' Patterns and Solids'

Feeding robins

Hello my lovelies, so happy to see you...
I have a Christmas card to share today, this time in shades of blue & turquoise to ring the changes.

This lovely stamp is called "Feeding robins" from Wild Rose Studios, and I have coloured it with my markers... then dotted with liquid pearls, and glittered. I have added lots more dots of pearls to the die cut tree, and I have used a touch of distress ink to give it an aged appearance.

The recipe is as follows:
Card blank: Craftwork Cards
Papers: Magnolia Vintage Turquoise & Cloudy Hearts
Stamp: Wild Rose Feeding Robins
Die cuts : La La Land Christmas Tree
Embellishments: Glamour Dust Crystal & Pearls

I hope this has inspired to get creative with your Christmas cards...
Happy Crafting!
